Most Surprising NFL Teams of Week 8 (2019)
As we conclude October we reach approximately the halfway point of the season. There were a few surprising results but as in weeks prior once again there were quite a few blowouts. Here’s what I believe were the most shocking results
The Philadelphia Eagles are a professional football franchise based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Eagles compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference East division. Philadelphia you needed that win badly. Nice to see you actually show up after a week of facing criticism. Honestly everyone was firing on all cylinders in this one. See guys this is what you're capable of keep it up and you might get a wild card
The Indianapolis Colts are an American football team based in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Colts compete in the National Football League as a member club of the American Football Conference South division. Okay guys what was that? When you have to rely on Adam Vinatieri who's been inaccurate you know you played down to your competition. I was expecting a higher scoring game especially with the momentum they had going
The Buffalo Bills are a professional American football team based in the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area that competes in the National Football League.
Buffalo Bills had the longest playoff drought of any team which came to an end in 2017. Now it's Buffalo's turn to face the media. After a relatively easy schedule it's time for them to prove themselves. They did not. Philly dominated as Buffalo couldn't really get anything going even with a strong defense. This game left a lot to be desired out of the Bills
The San Francisco 49ers are a professional American football team located in the San Francisco Bay Area. What was expected to be a close game was anything but close. San Francisco dominated the Panthers and once again silenced the doubters. A very convincing win for a scary looking Niners team. The main stars in this one? Tevin Coleman and Nick Bosa. Absolutely haunted Kyle Allen but at least he didn't see ghosts
The Houston Texans are a professional American football team based in Houston, Texas. The team competes in the National Football League as a member club of the American Football Conference South division. This was a game I wasn't expecting to be close. Instead Watson had a clutch moment in this game. Throwing a touchdown after taking a cleat to his face. Houston survives Even though they lost JJ Watt in the process. Closer than I expected but Watson May have just bolstered his MVP case
The Carolina Panthers are a professional American football team based in Charlotte, North Carolina, that competes in the National Football League. Well guys what was that? You couldn't stop Coleman and Kyle Allen threw 3 interceptions. And you better be glad y'all have Christian McCaffery or else you would have been shut out
The Las Vegas Raiders are a professional American football franchise based in Las Vegas. The Raiders began playing in 1960 as a member club of the American Football League; they have been a member club of the National Football League since the 1970 AFL–NFL merger.
In 2020, the Raiders relocated from Oakland, California to Las Vegas. Derek Carr arguably had his best performance yet. Sure they lost because Deshaun Watson was a God but. Jacobs and Williams had productivity on the offense and there's a lot to like here. Just no big names for Oakland to rely on
The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team in Chicago, Illinois. The Bears compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference North division. Bears you guys are pathetic. Two teams playing sluggishly and you lose on another missed kick? Seems familiar am I right? Anyway Trubisky is looking worse and worse. What a waste of a Defense
The New Orleans Saints are a professional American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Saints currently compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference South division. Well Drew Brees is back. I know they played the Cardinals but they make the list only because the way he played. Several were questioning his decision but he balled out as the Saints thrashed the Cardinals.
The Detroit Lions are a professional American football team based in Detroit, Michigan. The Lions compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference North division.
The Detroit Lions are one of the four teams to have never been to a Super Bowl, and also one of the two teams in history to go 0-16. A pretty decent game for Detroit as Stafford led the Lions to a good win. The thing is are they for real? They have potential but they are the Lions. How are they gonna Lion this year?
The Atlanta Falcons are a professional American football team based in Atlanta, Georgia. The Falcons compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference South division.
