As 2013 rolls around, many people choose resolutions or goals to accomplish in the new year. 

NFL teams are no different. 

Some squads are gearing up for the playoffs while others are dealing with a stingy loss. 

Even others are setting their sights on the draft and next season. 

Without further ado, here are 32 New Year's Resolutions for every single NFL team to accomplish in 2013.

Arizona Cardinals

To stop being the team that was almost there, to prove Joe Flacco can be elite in the clutch, to get Ray Lewis to re-energize this squad and finally win the AFC. 

Buffalo Bills

To find a star wide receiver through free agency or the draft and woo Chip Kelly to Cleveland. He is a coach that can find a way to translate young talent into wins. 

Dallas Cowboys

To forget about the awful ending of this season and get healthy in order to win the NFC East next year. Also, strongly consider whether Jason Garrett is the future of the Dallas organization. 

Denver Broncos

To win the Super Bowl. Peyton Manning is playing like he was when he won the big game with the Colts and Denver is riding in incredible hot streak. The time is now for the Broncos


Detroit Lions

To figure out what went so incredibly wrong this season, find a viable running back to make a multi-faceted offense in Detroit and win games in the highly competitive NFC North. 


Green Bay Packers

To give the city of Green Bay another Super Bowl victory behind an impressive defensive effort, a newfound running attack and more brilliant performances by Aaron Rodgers


Houston Texans

To win the AFC. The Texans have been slumping as of late but a trip to New Orleans would prove that head coach Gary Kubiak is capable of putting all of the talent in Houston together and Matt Schaub can win big games.   


Indianapolis Colts

To win a playoff game behind an emotional head coach Chuck Pagano and lay the foundation for many more trips to the postseason.

To win the Super Bowl. Rob Gronkowski is back, Wes Welker is still around, Tom Brady isn’t getting any younger and the defense is emerging and upstart. New England is out of excuses. It is time to get another ring.

New Orleans Saints

To hope that Sean Payton brings back his winning tradition in New Orleans and the Saints return to the NFL postseason in 2013. 

New York Giants

New York Jets

To find a new franchise quarterback and build around him. Forget the shenanigans and the circus the Jets have become. 2013 is about getting back to business and resuming the wins in New York. 

Oakland Raiders

To find a starting quarterback. Yes, there are other problems in Oakland but every playoff team has a great signal caller. The Raiders need that. Carson Palmer probably played his way out of a job but the Raiders need to figure out if they will keep him or go with Terrelle Pryor or even someone else. 

Philadelphia Eagles

Who will replace him?

Saint Louis Rams

To understand that this season was not a complete disaster. This squad, with a few tune-ups, can win games in the NFL. The Saint Louis front office must fix the holes in 2013 in order to make the Rams competitive next season.  

San Diego Chargers

To hire a miracle worker to replace Norv Turner and get a great season out of Phillip Rivers, culminating in a trip to the postseason. 

San Francisco 49ers

To travel to New Orleans with Colin Kaepernick remaining as the starting quarterback. They were an unlucky bounce away from the Super Bowl last year. This is the season that the 49ers finally win the NFC. 

Seattle Seahawks

To ensure Russell Wilson keeps performing at an outstanding level and the Seahawks, amazing at home, are able to get some road wins en route to New Orleans and the Super Bowl. 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

To find a shutdown cornerback, rule free agency once again and put all the pieces together to make a playoff run in 2013. 

Tennessee Titans

To heavily improve their defense through the draft and free agency. This is a team that showed flashes of brilliance but have been mediocre throughout the season. Quarterback and running back are question marks but not huge holes. Tennessee has to focus on the defensive side of the ball in order to become competitive in the AFC South. 

Washington Redskins

To build off a tremendous home win against the Cowboys with a victory against Seattle in the nations capital. Then, go as far as the arm of Robert Griffin III and legs of Alfred Morris can take the Redskins
