Cincinnati Bengals fans have been named the most loyal fan base in the NFL.
A new ranking by researchers at Canada Sports Betting crowned Cincinnati fans as most dedicated. They looked at the volume behind more than 500 keywords related to NFL teams over the last three years. Those keywords covered all aspects, including general team performance, merchandise, individual player news, upcoming matches, team stadiums, game tickets, and more.
The Bengals’ keywords have seen an average increase of 80% in volume year-over-year. The fans of the Philadelphia Eagles (+42%), San Francisco 49ers (+34%), Buffalo Bills (+33%) and Jacksonville Jaguars (+27%) round out the top five.
Eighteen teams had a decrease in fan interest year-over-year, with the Cleveland Browns fans as the worst (-34%). Other teams that have struggled to maintain their fans’ enthusiasm include the New Orleans Saints (YOY drop of 28% interest), the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-27%), and the New England Patriots (-26%).
