25. Philadelphia Eagles
Carson Wentz looks more and more comfortable each week. He’s playing at a very high level and has the Philadelphia Eagles in the thick of the playoff hunt. Philadelphia needs someone to emerge at running back and the secondary to get right. However, they have a legitimate shot at winning their division.
26. New England Patriots
Bill Belichick is a defensive mastermind which is why it’s way too early to panic. The New England Patriots defense is more talented than the numbers suggest. With time, Belichick should be able to right the ship. It also helps that Tom Brady and the offense should be able to keep them afloat until that point.
27. Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks might have the best defense in the NFL. However, it won’t matter too much unless the offense finds an identity. They want to be a run-first team but lack the horses in the backfield and offensive line to employ that attack. Letting Russell Wilson sling the ball around the field might be their best bet.
28. Denver Broncos
Defensively the Denver Broncos have more than enough talent to be a Super Bowl contender. The offensive success will depend on the consistency of the running game. Trevor Siemian is playing well, but has yet to show he can put a team on his shoulder and win a game.
