There are Dark Horses for Super Bowl LV who are being considered to play surprisingly from the beginning to the end of the game. While the NFL season is still to begin, the preparations for Super Bowl LV are going balls to the walls. Every year we have gotten to see a surprising team in the final games with one of the favorites getting into the Super Bowl from the previous game. Undoubtedly, San Francisco 49ers, the Kansas City Chiefs, and Baltimore Ravens are going to be seen as the favorite entries — but there are other dark horses or Super Bowl LV who can surprisingly be amazing contenders in the championship. Here's the list of those surprising dark horses for the Super Bowl LV:

  1. Dallas Cowboys.

A majority of NFL fans may wonder why this name came in the list. While you have seen the Cowboys failing around from quite some time, this season can be a game-changer for them with

Mike McCarthy replacing Jason Garrett. This could be a significant sign that the team can have you see an absolutely amazing game this season. The Dallas Cowboys look in a landscape where it can break through the tradition of constantly disappointing and is being seen as again becoming America’s team. With NFL East belonging to the Cowboys and their defense turning over, this can be a positive sign of Cowboys becoming the best team in the NFL.

  1. Cleveland Browns.

During season 2019, Cleveland Browns went into play with a view from the makers about it being a dark horse. But that prediction did not work — there was a lack of experienced players on the roaster and the head coach who was not fit to be at the position. This season has to be definitely a different game with a lot of changes — the training this season evident under a much-experienced team and of course not to mention a better coach. Baker Mayfield’s struggle on the offensive line was recognized by the Browns and therefore, the Jack Conklin was signed and Jedrick Wills was drafted for the season. Jarvis Landry & Odell Beckham Jr are going to be the two pillars protecting Mayfield this time. One-two punch of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt is absolutely amazing. With other players like Denzel Ward and Myles Garrett, the team is definitely going to a dark horse contender for the Super Bowl LV.

  1. Indianapolis Colts.

The 2019 games showed the Colts how easily the doors to contending can close if there was anything that should have been revamped. The Indianapolis Colts witnessed obvious tumbling down with the sudden retirement of Andrew Luck. At that very moment, the team looked as lost as it could never rise again to contend. And, that led them to sign Philip Rivers with the hope — that this move will help the team to rise again. It’s said about Philip that if it gets all the surrounding pieces can have the potential to take the team to the top. In addition, with the best offensive line & Jonathan Taylor in the backfield, it is not irrelevant to call this team a dark horse Super Bowl LV. With Philip Rivers paired with DeForest Buckner, All-Pro defensive lineman the team is all set to compete for the AFC crown.
