Most Underrated NFL Teams of 2017
There are some NFL teams who are not receiving the credit that they deserve. The teams people keep sleeping on. But I believe these teams are underrated and deserve more credit.As a Patriots fan, this team is absolutely frightening. I'm also scared of the Steelers, no offense Steelers fans, but I find the Jags to be scarier, because their run game is outstanding, and so is their defense. I hope, but at the same time I don't hope, that we see a Patriots vs Jags playoff match up. It would be a great test for my Patriots.
The Jags have a bright future ahead of them, too. Within a few years, this team may have a ring.
It's good to see a terrible team come back the following year and look this good.
The Jags are having one of their best seasons in franchise history. They have the best defense in the league as well as a beastly rookie RB and a solid offensive line. Not to mentio that Blake Bortles is improving a lot under Coughlin and Marrone. People sleep on these men, they may go all the way!
At first I didn’t think much of them because they were a very young team but now they have piled up some good weapons on both sides of the ball including Leonard Fournette and the defense known as Sacksonville. Bortles is improving and could be the next Goff/Wentz. On top of that they look to be the champions of the AFC South. I don’t expect a super bowl run this year but I wouldn’t be surprised if #Sacksonville makes a deep playoffs run.
Started off the season 0-4, but really started to dominate afterwards. They have a future hall-of-fame QB in Phillip Rivers as well as a great WR squad and great defense. Who knows? Maybe they will sneak in at 6th seed.
They have had one of the best turnarounds. From 0-4 to 7-7 I would not be surprised if they do sneak into the playoffs.
First, I want to say that the Jets will not make the playoffs, but they are highly underrated. At the begginning of the season, the Jets were not favored to win any games. They have proven otherwise. Josh McCown played surprisingly well and they have weapons on defense.
Everyone thought that they would be worse than the Browns but obviously they were wrong. The Jets were actually mediocre
In the beginning of the season they were really good. After the 8th game NOPE
If you have not been any better than mediocre for almost a score (20 years), then you bet you will be underrated. But the Bills have been playing alright football. They may end up making the playoffs for the first time since 1999!
I know they are eliminated from the playoffs and started the season 0-9, but they could finish the year 5-11 with the help of Jimmy Garroppolo.
They were taking some pages out of Cleveland’s book but then they got Jimmy Garroppolo and have been undefeated since. The Niners may have found their QB to build around. Could next year be the year they turn the ship around?
Put up a fight against the 2-loss Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens proved that they still have juice left in them. Maybe they make the postseason!
Cleveland has been competitive. They have talent their problem is the management! They really need to clean up the managing side of things. It’s almost like they want the Browns to lose and suffer
I know they're winless, but they have so much talent on their team. It's the management that kills these guys!
This is the worst team ever! There called the browns for a reason, because you know what else is brown? Crap
I did not expect them to be so good this year. Drew Brees is not the one-man team I thought He's a hall-of-fame QB and has many elite targets on offense. Also with the help of Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara, the Saints may win their division!
Not making the playoffs, but they have shown that they can still put up fights against good teams. Their secondary is terrifying and Blaine Gabbert has been playing well. Not to mention future hall-of-fame WR Larry Fitzgerald.
Not making the playoffs, but the Dolphins proved that they are still fighters. Without Ryan Tannehil, Jay Cutler and Matt More kept them alive on the playoff run. They have good WR's and a good defense.
How exactly are they underrated?
If you look at the past they have cheated over many times and got away with it from 2000-2015 so if we must rate teams pats not underrated overrated
