Which NFL fandom is most Cy-like?

I’m a 23 year old Cowboys fan. Iowa State has had about the same success as the Cowboys in my lifetime
I would compare the Cowboys to Nebraska. They are a national brand due to their history but haven't done jack in a quarter century. They have a delusional fanbase full of Walmart t-shirt fans who have never attended a game in their lives but think they are above others because they follow a team that won some games in the 90s. They are also generally unaware of the changes to the landscape of the game that now present serious challenges to their team returning to prominance, so they still expect the team to finally be back every year.
I was thinking of the Cleveland Browns. Loyal fans even thought the team has a long history of being bad. More competitive and more talented recently too.
Lifetime Chargers fan here. I grew up watching Air Coryell football. I've got two nut cups. One is worn on Saturday's and the other on Sunday's.
How are they a bad fanbase? They are tough to please and obnoxious but they are pretty loyal and rabid.
Agree with the Lions. Their fans show up win or lose, and considering they've been losers for most of the last 60 years that's actually very impressive. And now they're finally getting rewarded with winning football.
Could have been the Chiefs with the atmosphere, etc. But they are winning titles now and have Taylor Swift. We can't even get Eric Church to show us some love. So not the Chiefs.
Lions, no. Vikings, no. Cannot relate to teams that do not play in the real outdoor world.
Can't be any East or West coast team. Midwest only. Not the Packers, too much success.
So maybe the Browns? Don't know their tailgate situation, but seems like a good fanbase that has stuck with the team for years.

I think we are a more similar to Seattle than any of the NFC north teams actually. Seahawks have awesome fans.
First thought was most similar: Browns, but Buffalo makes good sense too.
First thought least similar (and no one has mentioned yet): Raiders

Browns and there is no other close. Never won anything, **** on by the NFL and the other teams. Mismanaged for years. Super loyal fans even through it all. And only fans "went" there. No bandwagon, t-shirt fans.
Cowboys, nuff said.

Browns probably are second on my list, behind Lions.
Buffalo is a maybe, but I eliminated because of the four straight Super Bowl appearances, even if it's a narrow time frame. All were losses, yes, so that has a sort of Iowa State-ish aspect to it (and the unfortunate "wide right"), but ISU hasn't reached that level (relative to CFB).
