NFL 2017 Midseason Power Rankings

The 2017 NFL season has been wild and unpredictable to this point. Many teams that were expected to do well are faltering a bit, familiar faces are looking primed for a postseason run, and young teams are emerging into the spotlight. The injury bug has hit hard this year, ending some teams’ hopes of winning a Super Bowl this year. Below are my 2017 NFL mid-season power rankings.

1. Philadelphia Eagles

Let’s face it, Carson Wentz is looking like the clear MVP through 7 weeks. His ability to prolong plays with his feet and make great throws has been the secret to success in Philly, and the scary thing is he keeps getting better. While the offense will be missing Jason Peters for the remainder of the season, the rest of the line is good enough to keep Wentz alive to allow plays to develop. The offense has found an identity that they have lacked since Michael Vick was starting under Andy Reid, having 3 reliable receiving targets in Alshon Jeffrey, Torrey Smith, and the resurgent Nelson Agholor. Meanwhile, the defense is showing that they can be a shut down unit WITHOUT their best cornerback and linebacker; imagine what they could do if they were all healthy. The Eagles are the best team in the NFC due to the most talented roster in the conference, and I expect them to make a deep playoff run if Doug Pederson can avoid questionable coaching. To quote YouTuber EDP445 “How many screens must you run?!”

2. New England Patriots

Whether you like it or not, you have to open your eyes and see that the Patriots are once again at the top of the NFL. Although their defense was horrendous through the first four weeks, Matt Patricia’s unit has really come back to championship form as of late while the offense is consistently one of the best in the NFL. Tom Brady is on track for his best season since 2007, and the return of Malcolm Mitchell will only help this offense flourish. If the offensive line continues its trend of giving up less sacks and the defense continues to be good, then expect this team to at least make the AFC title game if not the Super Bowl.

3. Kansas City Chiefs

Even though the Chiefs are currently in a two game losing streak after going 5-0 to start the season, I still put them at #3 because they have a consistent formula that they use every week that always results in them making the playoffs. Andy Reid and Alex Smith still give you exactly what you’ve come to expect from them, only this year Smith has developed a better deep ball that has burned defenses all year. Tyreek Hill has proven that he’s capable of WR1 numbers while Kareem Hunt is a revelation, leading to a much more explosive offense. The defense is without Eric Berry, but they still have enough talent to shut down opposing offenses. Consistency wins in this league, and the Chiefs continue to be consistently good like they have ever since they acquired Alex Smith.

4. Pittsburgh Steelers

Surprise surprise, the Steelers are a top 5 team again. Having the best WR/RB combo in the NFL surely helps a team succeed, and Ben Roethlisberger has just that at his disposal. JuJu Smith-Schuster has shown he is capable of providing Big Ben with a reliable secondary receiving target which Pittsburgh has been lacking for a while. Meanwhile, the young defense is improving in every way, sporting one of the best pass defenses in the NFL and a much-improved run defense. Even though Big Ben keeps throwing around the idea of retirement, he still has enough in him to manage the Steelers to the playoffs. In weak AFC North division that features no elite quarterbacks, the Steelers should easily win with their extremely talented roster.

5. Los Angeles Rams

For anyone saying that the Rams are just pretenders, think again. Jeff Fisher’s firing is the best thing that has happened to this team since they last had a winning record. Sean McVay has come in and found the first round talent in Jared Goff that he was originally drafted for. He also has found a way to make Todd Gurley dominant again, making this offense one of the top scoring in the NFL. The front office went out and surrounded Goff with a better offensive line and better pieces in the passing game, which has allowed Goff to flourish and make less mistakes. On the other side of the ball, Wade Phillips has come in and shored up a suspect secondary while maintaining the dominance of the defensive line. This new look unit has given opponents fits all year, holding Arizona to a shutout and Seattle to 16 points. If Goff continues to make accurate throws and the defense stays consistent, then this team could be a dark horse Super Bowl team. This team is for real in 2017, and you best believe it.

6. Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings are in an interesting situation this year to say the least. They have been rolling with Case Keenum at quarterback for the bulk of the season, and he has been more than serviceable. However, their quarterback situation will soon improve when Teddy Bridgewater will be eligible to return in Week 10 and Sam Bradford gets healthy. For now though, Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, and a double-headed backfield headline Minnesota’s much improved offense from a year ago. What has remained the same from last year is the high level play of the defense. Xavier Rhodes, Anthony Barr, and Danielle Hunter among others on the defense have really stepped up this year and have allowed the Minnesota offense to operate knowing that they still have a chance in every game they play. In a weak NFC North division without Aaron Rodgers, the Vikings will win the division with ease.

7. New Orleans Saints

Since when are the Saints good because of their defense? Drew Brees has not looked like his usual self thus far, but his defense has really set the tone for New Orleans to be competitive in every game they play. After a lack-luster showing in the first two weeks of the season, this New Orleans defense has played to a surprisingly high level ever since, capped off by their shutout of the Miami Dolphins in London in Week 4. Marshon Lattimore is looking like a great pick on a team that is known for having a stingy secondary, and Ryan Ramczyk has provided necessary reinforcements to an offensive line that has struggled to stay healthy. On the offense, Michael Thomas is proving that his rookie season wasn’t a fluke, and the emergence of Alvin Kamara has given Sean Payton a dangerous toy to work with out of the backfield. I would consider this team to be the most surprising in the NFL up to this point, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they win an extremely weak NFC South.

8. Seattle Seahawks

This team has looked like the same Seattle Seahawks that we have gotten used to over the past couple of years. They started off very slowly, watching Russell Wilson get sacked a lot and their offense be one of the worst in the league. The defense initially looked like it was not as dominant as it usually is. However, a couple of games against weak opponents and a bye week later, the Seahawks look good again. Russell Wilson of late has shown familiar chemistry with Doug Baldwin, the offensive line is playing better, and the defense is back to elite status. The trade that sent Sheldon Richardson to Seattle has ended up being much more valuable in the long run due to Cliff Avril going on season ending IR and possibly retiring because of injury. If Pete Carroll can find a reliable #2 cornerback to pair with Richard Sherman and a more consistent running game, then the Seahawks should be able to make a play for the division down the stretch.

9. Buffalo Bills

Many fans around the NFL have been shocked this season to find the Bills keeping pace with the Patriots in the AFC East. Sean McDermott and the #BillsMafia have had the luxury of a much improved defense showing up to play each and every week. Tre’Davious White has silently proven that he is the best cornerback from this year’s draft class while providing an urgently needed replacement for Stephon Gilmore and Ronald Darby. Lorenzo Alexander and the rest of the Bills’ pass rush has been able to pressure opposing quarterbacks consistently this year, allowing the defense to get off the field quickly and let the offense have more chances to score. Those are much needed chances, as the Bills are very weak at receiver and sport an aging LeSean McCoy at running back. The only reason this offense has found success is because of Tyrod Taylor’s underrated play this year and Jordan Matthews’ elusive abilities in the open field. While this team is not going to make a Super Bowl, they could be a sneaky Wild Card team come January.

10. Dallas Cowboys

Even though many fans have been quick to do so in 2017, there is no need to panic in Dallas. Of the three games the Cowboys have lost, one was inevitably going to happen against healthy Aaron Rodgers, and another one was against a very good Rams offense. Let’s not gloss over the fact that in those losses, the Dallas offense still looked very good. While Ezekiel Elliott keeps fighting his suspension, he continues to run angrier each week, allowing Dak Prescott to use the play action pass more frequently as the year has gone on. However, for the first time in a long time, Dallas finally features a good pass rush on the defensive side of the ball. Demarcus Lawrence leads the NFL in sacks and Sean Lee has continued to be a necessary leader week in and week out. Even if Elliott ends up serving his suspension this year, the Cowboys’ offensive line is good enough to allow Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden to find success in the running game. In a wide-open NFC, the ‘Boys are good enough to be a wild card team.

11. Jacksonville Jaguars

The reason Jacksonville ranks this highly has nothing to do with how Blake Bortles has played. Sure, he has limited the turnovers this year, but without Allen Robinson as a target, Bortles hasn’t been all that good. That being said, the defense for the Jaguars has been outstanding. Free agent signings Calais Campbell and AJ Bouye have immediately paid dividends, with Bouye being ranked as a top cornerback in the NFL and the Jacksonville pass rush racking up lots of sacks every game under Campbell’s veteran leadership. However, the brightest part of this team has been Leonard Fournette. He is looking like a clear rookie of the year candidate through 7 weeks largely due to his ability to run over defenders and burn defenses week in and week out. If Bortles can continue his trend of limited turnovers and the defense continues playing at a high level, then this team can claw its way into a division lead when it counts.

12. Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins are not great by any means, but they have enough pieces to keep them competitive in the AFC despite a quarterback problem. Jay Cutler hasn’t been awful the whole season, but his inconsistency and lack of caring was definitely a factor when he was under center so far this season.I wonder why he bothered to come out of retirement, seeing how Matt Moore looked better than Cutler in limited action this season as he lead the Dolphins to a comeback win over the New York Jets in week 7. Besides quarterback, the ‘Phins have a decent but underperforming offense, with players like DeVante Parker and Jay Ajayi not living up to expectations this year. On defense, Miami has a pretty good front seven that has no problems creating pressure on opposing quarterbacks. The secondary is weakened with the recent release of Byron Maxwell, but Reshad Jones and Xavien Howard should be good enough to get Miami through the season without giving up too many more big plays. While from a talent standpoint I like this team, any team led by Jay Cutler is bound to underwhelm, and that’s exactly what they have done up to this point. Since Matt Moore led this team to the playoffs last year, I expect Miami to at least contend for a wild card spot again this year.

13. Washington Redskins

While a couple weeks ago I would have never thought Washington would be this low on the list, injuries and underachievers over the past couple of weeks have put them where they are today. The better side of the ball for this team is clearly the defense, with players like Josh Norman and Zach Brown shining. D.J. Swearinger has provided a necessary leadership to this unit that has really helped them keep their composure and sniff out plays from opposing offenses. On the offensive side of the ball, it has been much more of a mixed bag. The Redskins’ offensive line is hurting after losing Brandon Scherff to injury and almost losing Morgan Moses. The wide receiving corps has been the most disappointing in the NFL thus far, with free agent Terrelle Pryor and former first round pick Josh Doctson struggling to find consistent chemistry with Kirk Cousins. Even Jordan Reed hasn’t looked right up to this point. However, Cousins is still quietly having the best season of his career, and standout running back Chris Thompson has given this offense a new life in the midst of the overall slump.If this receiver group can start making some plays consistently and the team can stay healthy, then Washington could very well see themselves secure a wild card spot come January.

14. Houston Texans

If this team had lost JJ Watt and Whitney Mercilus for the season a year ago, then I would count them out of the playoffs immediately. This year is different. Houston finally has found the long-term answer at quarterback that they have been looking for since the team came into existence: Deshaun Watson. His ability to make things happen with his legs and drop dimes into the hands of receivers already make him one of the best young quarterbacks in the league, and he only keeps getting better (For more on Deshaun Watson, check out my previous article about the Emergence of Deshaun Watson as an elite NFL quarterback). Will Fuller has started to show that he was worth a first round pick by stepping up in the passing game and giving Watson a reliable down field threat. Meanwhile, the defense is still churning along without Watt and Mercilus. They also are missing the presense of Brian Cushing until Week 11. However, this defense can still play at a high level without those stars, and they were quick to prove it. Jonathan Joseph has started playing like he’s five years younger, while Jadeveon Clowney has continued to silence the doubters that were calling him a bust before last season. Led by these two playmakers, this Texans defense can still wreck games for opposing quarterbacks and can still carry the team if it needs to. While Houston is only a half game out of first place in the AFC South at the moment, they have as good a shot as anyone in that division to sit atop it in January.

15. Oakland Raiders

Don’t let this team’s record fool you; the Raiders are getting hot. After the worst stretch of games in Amari Cooper’s career through the first six weeks, he exploded for over 200 yards and 2 touchdowns against Kansas City, giving him a major boost to his confidence. Derek Carr is getting back to full health after suffering a minor back injury earlier in the year. If Marshawn Lynch can get hot after coming off of suspension, this offense will once again be scary good like it was all of last year. On the defense, the signing of NaVorro Bowman has already proven to be good, as he came in in just his third day with the team and established a leadership that has been missing from this unit for a while. He and Khalil Mack should continue to terrorize opposing quarterbacks as the year progresses. The secondary is the weaker part of the defense, as nobody has really stepped up as a good defender as many teams have found success picking this group apart. While things are trending up in Oakland, I don’t think they will be able to overcome Kansas City in the battle for the AFC West. Watch out for this team to snag a wild card spot by the season’s end.

16. Tennessee Titans

This has been the single most disappointing team in the NFL this year. Last year showed so much promise, and the added pieces on both sides of the ball were supposed to make this team the clear favorite in the AFC South. However, through 7 weeks the best way to sum up the Titans’ season so far is that they only beat the Browns by 3 points in overtime in week 7. While key players on offense have battled injuries all year, the defense has struggled to consistently contain opposing offenses. Big plays have been given up left and right, and every other week it seems like this team just keeps on getting embarrassed. However, I refuse to believe that this will continue throughout the rest of the season. When Marcus Mariota, DeMarco Murray and Corey Davis return to full health, then this offense should be a force to be reckoned with to say the least. The entire defense needs to step up for sure, but the return of those key offensive pieces should reduce the pressure on them to carry this team. Throughout all the adversity they have faced, they still find themselves tied for first place in the AFC South, and they could very well win this division if they get better down the stretch.

17. Carolina Panthers

Can Cam return to being Super Cam? That question has yet to be answered this season. Cam Newton has been as inconsistent as ever, going from a near perfect passer rating one week to a dreadful one the next. This Panthers team drives off of Cam. If Cam has a good game, then the defense rallies behind his performance and turns in a solid outing and a win. Likewise, if Newton struggles to not turn the ball over, then the defense decides not to show up and Carolina ends the game with more questions than answers. This team is far too talented on defense for this to happen, but Cam either puts his team in a position to win or he lets it crash and burn. Also, first round pick Christian McCaffrey has been quite underwhelming as a runner, which comes as a disappointment to a fan base that was looking forward to the rookie adding another element to the offense. This team ranks here because when Cam has a good game, they look good and have a good game, but I’m not so sure that they can string together wins to save their life at this point.

18. Detroit Lions

This team is inconsistent as usual. The defense played pretty well through the first few weeks of the season, but a terrible game against the Saints capped off a skid that most likely has left the players with low confidence. On offense, Matt Stafford has been consistently able to find success in the passing game, and Ameer Abdullah has given the Lions a decent running attack that they can lean on sometimes. All that being said, this team’s defense is talented yet poorly coached. The offense will have to carry this team to victory most of the time unless the defense gets a favorable matchup. The Lions have come crashing back down to Earth recently, and I think they will stay there for the duration of the season. This team could very well win NFC North, but it will take a handful more fourth quarter comebacks from Matt Stafford to make that a possibility.

19. Los Angeles Chargers

This has been a very streaky team to this point. Since this team has shored up its perennial special teams problems a bit after week 4, this team has been able to win games. While being in every game they have played this year, they have relied too heavily on the kicking game, which has been the most cursed unit in the NFL next to the Browns’ quarterbacks. Phillip Rivers has been solid this season, finding chemistry with Keenan Allen and second year tight end Hunter Henry quite easily. The defense has been pretty consistent, allowing around just 20 points a game. However, the Chargers still rank lower on this list mainly because they are looking like the exact same team from last year. While they will continue to be in virtually every game they play, something will inevitably happen in the 4th quarter that causes this team to lose. In their first season back in LA, I don’t expect this team to make the playoffs.

20. Green Bay Packers

RIP any playoff hopes for Green Bay. As soon as Aaron Rodgers went down with a broken collarbone, this team went from a contender to a below average team in seconds. While some people think that Brett Hundley can still lead this team to at least a wild card spot, the rest of the roster isn’t talented enough to make it happen. The defense has been underwhelming for years, and with Rodgers out it will become more obvious. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Mike Daniels are the only bright spots on a team that let Micah Hyde, Casey Heyward, and Julius Peppers walk in free agency over the past few years. I guess the front office thought that they wouldn’t have to spend money to have a good defense while Aaron Rodgers is their quarterback, but hopefully now they realize that Rodgers needs a defense to help this team’s chances of winning games. On the offense, Aaron Jones has looked like the answer Green Bay has been looking for at running back, while everyone else on the unit will have down years now that Rodgers isn’t throwing to them. With Aaron Rodgers, this team is a Super Bowl contender. Without Rodgers, this team will spiral down into being average again, something the fans in Green Bay will have to get used to in 2017.

21. Atlanta Falcons

What has happened to the best offense in the league from a year ago? The answer is simple: Matt Ryan is back to being average, Julio Jones has struggled to stay healthy, and the departure of Kyle Shanahan has majorly screwed over this offense. Steve Sarksian has created an offensive game plan that is significantly less effective from a year ago, and it has caused Matt Ryan to go back to his old ways of throwing picks and being inaccurate. The defense has been okay to start the year, but without the veteran leadership of Dwight Freeney, this team has struggled to stay consistent in knowing how to stop defenses. This team looked promising through the first three weeks of the season, but their more recent showings have painted a picture of the Falcons suffering a Super Bowl hangover. While it won’t be nearly as bad as the Panthers’ hangover last season, Atlanta will still miss the playoffs and end the season with far more questions than answers.

22. Chicago Bears

Just because this team has won a couple of games under Mitch Trubisky does not mean he has played well; in fact, he has played worse than Mike Glennon statistically. The only thing that the #2 overall pick in the 2017 draft brings to the table over Glennon is his ability to extend plays and make less dumb decisions. Besides that, he is just as inaccurate, and he has the same trash wide receiving corps that can’t make any plays as Glennon had. The main reason this team has won anything is because of the tremendous defense they have played. Like the Chargers, they have been in every game they have played, the difference being Chicago sports a much worse offense than Los Angeles. Playmakers like Leonard Floyd and Eddie Jackson have emerged as stars on a defense that plays opponents as tough as anybody in the NFL. All Trubisky has to do is manage a clean game and this Bears team will have a chance to win every contest they are in. They rank here solely because they have a very weak passing game, and that erases any chances they have of making the playoffs.

23. New York Jets

Let me just remind you that virtually everyone had this team going 0-16 before the season started. This team just didn’t have enough talent to make anything happen on either side of the ball. Then, the Seahawks made a trade that sent Jermaine Kearse to the Meadowlands, and suddenly this team looked capable of winning games. Josh McCown has enjoyed a solid year thanks to Kearse and Robby Anderson emerging as reliable receiving threats. On the defensive side of things, both the Jets’ rookie safeties have played tremendously, resulting in big takeaways that have allowed the Jets to be in positions to win games this year. However, as surprising as it is that this team has done so well considering what they were supposed to do, their upcoming schedule is very unfavorable, and this team will struggle to continue winning down the stretch. While I like some of the individual pieces on this team, there isn’t enough overall talent to beat some of the teams coming up on the calendar. This team will finish close to .500 for the year, but don’t expect Gang Green to continue finding success as they have done to this point.

24. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Famous Jameis has been quite disappointing in year 3. While he can still deliver clutch throws to his various targets, he has not been able to avoid the turnover bug in 2017. DeSean Jackson has clearly shown signs of regression, and OJ Howard has taken a long time to emerge as a threat in the offense. On the defensive side of the ball, inconsistency has plagued this unit throughout the season thus far. Some games, the Bucs’ defense has looked pretty nice and has given the offense a chance to win. In other games, this defense has been the main reason why Tampa Bay has lost, giving up high amounts of points to some offenses that struggle against most teams. Next to the Titans, this has been the most disappointing team in the NFL, and it has far too many problems to have playoff aspirations this season.

25. Denver Broncos

It’s safe to say that the Trevor Siemian experiment is failing in the Mile High City. He has been consistently making it almost impossible for his team to win by throwing multiple untimely picks and missing wide-open receivers. The defense has also been underperforming considering its dominance from years prior. This team rounds out an AFC West that is competitive for all the wrong reasons in 2017. In order for this team to become relevant again, they need to make a change at quarterback and right tackle as soon as possible. For now, however, this fan base will have to cope with the fact that this team is below average, something that comes as a slap in the face to Broncos Nation.

26. Baltimore Ravens

Joe Flacco is managing to drive this team down into the ground single-handedly. For anyone that has said Flacco is elite, all they need to do is look at his horrible stat line so far this season and realize that Joe Flacco is just as bad as whoever starts for the Cleveland Browns. To be fair, he hasn’t had anybody to really throw to, with aging Mike Wallace and Benjamin Watson being the most reliable of Baltimore’s receivers. The defense has actually played decent to this point, with stars Eric Weddle and Tony Jefferson capping off a respectable pass defense that has performed well. On the other hand, the run defense has been inconsistent, allowing opposing running backs to torch this unit with ease. All in all, the Ravens are still stuck in the doldrums of the NFL, and it’s going to take an inevitable rebuild to allow this team to return to glory.

27. Cincinnati Bengals

While the Cincinnati offense has looked better after firing their offensive coordinator at the beginning of the season, they still won’t be able to perform that well with Andy Dalton under center. His inability to avoid turnovers and complete passes consistently really limits what this offense can do, which is saying something with talent like AJ Green on the roster. First round pick John Ross has yet to contribute anything to this offense, and his consistent health issues make it look like that won’t change any time soon. The defense has played all right, with Geno Atkins and Vontaze Burfict being the two best playmakers. However, this unit accumulates too many penalties that lead to more points being given up then there should be. This team is in a similar situation to the Ravens in the sense that a rebuild needs to happen before this team becomes a consistent contender.

28. Arizona Cardinals

This team is too old to succeed without David Johnson healthy. While Larry Fitzgerald is an exception to this, Carson Palmer and the recently acquired Adrian Peterson are playing like they’re 40 years old, and both offensive centerpieces are not doing enough to help their team win. On the defense, the departure of Calais Campbell has hurt this team’s ability to produce a pass rush, and the secondary has struggled without Tony Jefferson and DJ Swearinger there to lead a shallow group of defensive backs. This team just got shut out by the Rams and has to deal with Carson Palmer being out for an extended period of time, so don’t expect anything special to happen in Arizona in 2017.

29. Indianapolis Colts

While Jacoby Brissett is making a strong case that he can be a franchise quarterback in the NFL, he has had to work with one of the toughest situations to succeed in. Chuck Pagano is a terrible head coach that is more defensively minded, and there is only one real passing threat in T.Y. Hilton that can make any plays on this offense. The defense has a couple of good players, but with first round standout Malik Hooker out for the season, this secondary is one of the worst in the NFL. Andrew Luck is not expected to play in 2017, and the Colts aren’t expected to get lucky either.

30. New York Giants

For a team that had such high hopes for this season, this is an abysmal place to be at the midway mark of the season. Of course, the main reason why Big Blue has found themselves here is because 3 of their top 4 receivers are out for the season, leaving Eli Manning with one solid receiver and a pass catching tight end as the only talented weapons left on this offense. Poor offensive line play has led to Manning receiving a beating and a weak running game. The defense is still quite talented, but the same good players from last year have struggled to keep playing well this year. Although Sterling Shepard and Evan Engram are primed to have career years, there is nothing else on this team that reveals anything positive going forward.

31. San Francisco 49ers

While this team definitely deserves to be ranked here, they haven’t played as bad as the rank suggests. In fact, they have lost most of their games by only one score. That is because the defense has played quite well despite not having the most talent on roster. Shipping NaVorro Bowman will hurt short term, but it fits the overall theme of rebuilding that the ‘Niners are trying to accomplish. The offense has been irrelevant with Brian Hoyer and CJ Beathard at quarterback, but receivers Pierre Garcon and Marquise Goodwin have shown flashes of big play ability when possible. Carlos Hyde has also been solid up to this point. San Francisco still needs one or two more solid drafts before this team can start thinking about competing.

32. Cleveland Browns

Did you really expect any other team to rank last on this list? While Deshone Kizer looked promising coming out of college, the Browns went ahead and did what they do best by thrusting him into a starting role too early and watching him struggle. The best thing to take away from the first half of the season is that all three of their first round picks have shown that they were worth the selection, with 1st overall pick Myles Garrett making an immediate impact when he hit the field for the first time. The defense as a whole has also played pretty good in a couple games, with veteran Jason McCourty and linebacker Christian Kirksey having solid years thus far. However, in classic Cleveland Browns fashion, Joe Thomas ended his streak of consecutive snaps played by suffering a torn triceps and is now out for the season. That blow pretty much sums up the Browns as a team for the past decade, and nothing looks to be changing any time soon.

This concludes my 2017 NFL mid season power rankings. This year’s list was pretty hard to put together, as it has been a very unpredictable and wild year of football. I hope you enjoyed reading my analysis of where teams are at in the NFL and encourage you to check out other articles on the website. Thanks for reading!
