After 11 weeks within the NFL now we have a fairly good thought who’re the groups to beat. These groups play at a excessive degree every week. After I have a look at the highest groups, I have a look at the Quarterback and the way he’s taking part in. All of those groups have high QB’s blended in with a high coach.
#5 Baltimore Ravens – Baltimore Ravens stay an excellent crew, particularly with Lamar quarterbacking the offense. The issue for Baltimore is that they almost certainly should journey to Pittsburgh or Kansas Metropolis in January. We all know their secret to success, run Derrick Henry and run Derek Henry. Once they steer away from that’s after they run into points. One other drawback is their total protection. They get exploited when an excellent passing crew assaults their weak go protection. With all of that mentioned, there nonetheless #5 and nonetheless a respectable contender within the NFL.
#4 Buffalo Payments – This was a tricky one because the Payments look locked in to make a Tremendous Bowl run. They’ve little weaknesses and are led by the fearless Josh Allen. They’re #4 proper now however might simply be larger.
#3 Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steelers simply beat a high crew within the Baltimore Ravens. There protection is high notch and Russell Wilson is clicking on all cylinders. General, they’ve an incredible crew however a problem may very well be the dearth of receivers. Any crew coming to Pittsburgh in January will likely be robust which is why I like them at #3 for now.
#2 Detroit Lions – No Hutchinson, No drawback! They misplaced debatable y the most effective dlineman within the league in Aidan Hutchinson. In his absence, they’re nonetheless destroying groups led by Jared Goff. With that protection, working recreation and receivers, they are going to almost certainly be the most effective crew popping out of the NFC.
#1 Kansas Metropolis Chiefs – Sure, they simply misplaced to the Payments however that will of been an excellent factor. What actually issues is the playoffs the place Kansas Metropolis excels and the Payments don’t. Shedding gives the Chiefs with motivation to beat Buffalo the following time they see one another. With Mahomes, Kelce, Hunt, and that protection they must be #1, till somebody kicks them off the mountain of the NFL.
