Yes it does, that's the beauty of it.
I've followed the NFL for eight years. In that time frame, only three of the 32 teams have not posted a winning record, and the other 29 have all been in the playoffs at least once. Conversely, 30 of the 32 teams have also had at least one season below .500 in that same timeframe. Teams can be great one year and not so great the next. There are no dynasties. Every season, you KNOW a team that's been ignored for awhile is gonna have a breakout season, and everything else is pretty random, so one doesn't really know what to expect. That's a big reason why the NFL has caught my interest and the other sports don't.
