Most Surprising NFL Teams of 2017 After Week 5

NFL teams with the most shocking results good or bad as of Week 5.
The Top Ten
1 New York Giants The New York Giants are a professional American football team located in the New York metropolitan area.

After losing to the Chargers the Giants season has been a major disappointment. Mcadoo is partly to blame and OBJ is out for the season.

The football gods gave the Giants the "Browns treatment"

What has gone right for the Giants this year?

2 Philadelphia Eagles 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.

Philly showed us their potential by dominating a lifeless Arizona team. They look like a real playoff team and have recovered from the Chip Kelly mess nicely. They had an explosive offense and a solid defense

Excellent momentum right now

3 New York Jets The New York Jets are a professional American football team located in the New York metropolitan area.

They beat the Browns which isn't really that impressive but the fact that they are still 3-2 and tied with New England and Buffalo is when you consider they were predicted that be the worst team and they are also ahead of their in city rival Giants.

Everyone said they were going to be tanking this season but they have been off to a decent start by Jets standards

This season has been so Jets. They are 3-2 and tied for first just watch them fall to last place

4 Jacksonville Jaguars The Jacksonville Jaguars are an American professional football franchise based in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Jags destroyed the Steelers in Pittsburgh and held them to 9 total points. Fournette meanwhile looked like a total beast.

The Jags are looking decent but they have to play consistently

If they get consistent I see potential for Jacksonville

5 Pittsburgh Steelers The Pittsburgh Steelers are a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that competes in the National Football League. Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowls with 6 which currently stands today.

What happened to Pittsburgh? Especially the offense. Big Ben threw 5 picks against the Jags. They put up 9 total points. 9 Points! And it was at home!

6 Carolina Panthers The Carolina Panthers are a professional American football team based in Charlotte, North Carolina, that competes in the National Football League.

Cam Newton came up huge in a win over a solid Lions team. They were able to score 27 points and hold off a Lions comeback.

7 Tennessee Titans The Tennessee Titans are a professional American football team based in Nashville, Tennessee. The Titans compete in the National Football League as a member club of the American Football Conference South division.

The Titans have been kinda disappointing so far. A team that many thought would win the division is 2-3 and have lost 2 straight games. To a division rival Houston and a mediocre Dolphins team

They Suck without Mariota. They have not impressed as thought so far

8 Miami Dolphins The Miami Dolphins are a professional American football franchise located in the Miami metropolitan area.

Miami was able to pick up a W with Jay Cutler as QB. The Dolphins are very mediocre and they are in last place in a surprisingly very winnable AFC East

Not expecting anything from this team. Not with Cutler at QB

9 Seattle Seahawks The Seattle Seahawks are a professional American football franchise based in Seattle, Washington. The Seahawks compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference West division.

Seattle finally found a trace of the Legion of Boom Defense and was able to stop the red hot Rams. Keep it up and they may still have playoff hope.

Good job Seattle! You found your defense now figure out the offense

I still think Seattle is the favorite in the NFC West. It's really their division to lose

10 Oakland Raiders 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.

Amari Cooper has been quiet so far and beast mode seems to be playing in the shadow of his former self. The whole team seems very mediocre in comparison to last year. I was skeptical on the Chiefs chances to repeat as division champs because of the Raiders but not this year Oakland. It should be Kansas City all the way in the AFC West.

I might be too harsh on this team but they fell below.500 to a mediocre Ravens team. They did lose Carr but I still didn't expect them to be so lifeless in comparison to last year.

The Contenders
11 Minnesota Vikings The Minnesota Vikings are an American football team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Vikings joined the National Football League as an expansion team in 1960, and first took the field for the 1961 season.

Not really that surprised. This team is kinda mediocre

12 Dallas Cowboys The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The Cowboys compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference East division.

Dallas has been on the decline recently and almost had Green Bay in the bag. Of course Aaron Rodgers did Aaron Rodgers things and made an incredible comeback (again). I'm surprised at how poorly Dak and Zeke are playing in comparison to last years performances. However they should still make the playoffs

They lost to Green Bay and lead 21-6. Not surprised but hey on the bright side they didn't blow a 28-3 lead.lol

13 Tampa Bay Buccaneers The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a professional American football franchise based in Tampa, Florida. The Buccaneers currently compete in the National Football League as a member team of the National Football Conference South division.

The fact that they almost beat the Patriots if it wasn't for a few missed field goals

14 Baltimore Ravens The Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football team based in Baltimore, Maryland. The Ravens compete in the National Football League as a member club of the American Football Conference North division.

People thought they would be absolutely terrible but they are in contention in an all the sudden very winnable AFC North division

15 Houston Texans 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.

Not as good as they were advertised against the Chiefs
