Top 10 Most Surprising NFL Teams of Week 14 (2019)

Well said. I think the Broncos are close to getting the ship righted, and if they get that all-important QB position locked down, that would be a huge step.

You are correct. I think Lock has such a small sample size that we don't really know yet, but I do know he has a bunch of talent to play the position. Even at Mizzou, his athletic ability was never in question. The question was whether he could become a complete QB. There were mixed results at Mizzou, I think, but Brady sat behind Drew Henson for much of his college career, and look at how that's panned out for those two.

In any case, the rest of the AFC West had better start planning on Denver being a force once more.

The Rams' playoff hopes were essentially on life support, and they had no mercy for Seattle. Jared Goff, Tyler Higbee, and Todd Gurley had a good game to keep their playoff hopes alive for another week.

In the process, they kept Seattle from clinching a playoff berth. Perhaps they can sneak in as the 6th seed.

For all the criticism Mitchell Trubisky has faced this year, he went off on Dallas. Da Bears were dominant almost the entire game, frustrating the Cowboys and keeping them in the playoff picture.

David Montgomery also played a key role for Chicago. Overall, it was stunning to see them do this.

The Seahawks had a shot to clinch a playoff berth and assert themselves in a key position for a bye. Instead, the Rams dominated them from start to finish in a game with major playoff implications.

The Niners reclaimed the NFC West lead for the time being, and Seattle now falls into the mix with the Saints and Packers at 10-3. It's worth noting that Seattle still hosts San Francisco later on. It's still surprising how Russell Wilson couldn't get much going on offense all night.

The Texans had a good chance to all but put the AFC South away, but instead, they opened the door for the Titans. Denver dominated this game entirely.

Houston never really had a chance and was never really in it. All in all, this was essentially a trap game for both teams. Denver cost themselves in draft positioning while Houston blew a golden opportunity to assert themselves in the AFC. Everyone loses.

Philly needed to rally to beat the Giants, which almost ended their playoff hopes. The Eagles needed Wentz to shine late in the game to win against Eli Manning.

Yes, I get they were dealing with injuries, but still, the Giants are no powerhouse by any means. This shouldn't have been a nail-biter.

The Patriots have struggled against other AFC teams this year, but not at home. Yet, they just looked flat in this one. Kansas City wasn't even that good either. The Pats blew multiple opportunities to win.

Edit: Guys, why are you stealing signals from the Bengals? The Bengals?! They're awful. Do y'all really need to do this to win? As long as you have a pulse, you'll be good! #Spygate2.0

So, Jameis, what's up? You're a turnover machine and a touchdown pass machine. The Bucs once again find a way to win over a decimated Indy team, but they get eliminated in the process.

There's potential here, but Jameis Winston is too inconsistent. Pick a side, please. You're either a turnover or touchdown machine. How can you be both?

Dallas, congratulations. You get another week of questions and facing the music. Somehow, they made Trubisky look like Patrick Mahomes.

It doesn't matter because Garrett will just clap on the sidelines. This is so weird, as they have the talent but can't execute. When will Emperor Jerry Jones finally have enough? The fact that the Cowboys or Eagles will have a home playoff game is pathetic.
