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

The Top Ten
1 Denver Broncos The Denver Broncos are an American football team based in Denver, Colorado. The Broncos compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's American Football Conference West division.

Well said. I think the Broncos are close to getting the ship righted, and obviously, if they get that all-important QB position locked down, that's a huge step out of the way. You are correct, I think Lock has such a small sample size we really don't 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, just could he become a complete QB? 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.

2 Los Angeles Rams The Los Angeles Rams are a professional American football team based in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

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 pretty 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 a 6th seed.

3 Chicago Bears 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.

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 very stunning to see them do this.

4 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.

The Seahawks had a shot all lined up 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 reclaim 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 the offense all night.

5 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.

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, and 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.

6 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 needed to rally to beat the Giants, which almost ended their playoff hopes. The Eagles needed Wentz to ball out 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 game.

7 New England Patriots The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston region. New England Patriots are one of the few teams to have 5+ wins in the Super Bowl.

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 the signals from the Bungles? THE BUNGLES?! 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

8 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.

So, Jamies, 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 Jamies Winston is too inconsistent. Pick a side, please. You're either a turnover or touchdown machine. How can you be both?

9 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, 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, like 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.

10 New York Giants The New York Giants are a professional American football team located in the New York metropolitan area.

The Giants were without Daniel Jones, which means, for the time being, we get Eli Manning back. And they somehow almost beat Philly. They would lose in OT, but the Giants should not have been in it.
