17. Los Angeles Rams
I’m starting to believe in the Los Angeles Rams. Jared Goff is showing great command of the offense while Sean McVay has figured out a way to get the most out of Todd Gurley and Tavon Austin. While the defense has underperformed, they have plenty of talent and a good coach in Wade Phillips.
18. Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills are a really fun team to watch. Sean McDermott has put together a winning formula despite fielding a team with limited talent. It’ll be really interesting to see if they can stay in the playoff with this roster.
19. Washington Redskins
The Washington Redskins played a good game despite losing to the Kansas City Chiefs. There aren’t many teams who can go in to Arrowhead and keep things close—especially the way the Chiefs are playing right now. Washington’s defense is playing better than expected while Kirk Cousins continues to prove he’s a franchise quarterback.
20. Carolina Panthers
The big question surrounding the Carolina Panthers is whether Cam Newton is back or are is the New England Patriots defense that bad. New England hasn’t been able to stop anyone so far this season. Either way, Carolina will gladly take the win playing on the road in Foxboro.
