What NFL Teams Are Looking Good This Year?
Contents
The NFL season is in full swing, and some teams are already looking like they could be contenders for the playoffs. Here are a few that are looking good so far.
The Patriots
The New England Patriots are looking as strong as ever this year. With a solid defense and a strong offensive line, the Patriots are poised to make another run at the Super Bowl. Let’s take a closer look at why the Patriots are looking so good this year.
Bill Belichick
In today’s NFL, there are really only two head coaches that matter--Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots and Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs. These are the only two coaches who have consistently taken their teams to the playoffs and deep into the postseason over the past decade.
So far this season, Belichick’s Patriots look like they are the team to beat in the AFC. They have one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history in Tom Brady, a potent offense, and a defense that is playing very well. The Patriots are currently 6-1 and are on track to win yet another divisional title.
Reid’s Chiefs have also been very good this season, but they have had some struggles recently. They lost to the Patriots 43-40 in Week 6, and then they were blown out by the Cincinnati Bengals 45-10 in Week 7. The Chiefs are still a good team, but they certainly have some work to do if they want to win a Super Bowl this year.
Tom Brady
Tom Brady is considered one of the best quarterbacks of all time. He has led the Patriots to six Super Bowl wins, and he has been named the Super Bowl MVP four times. Brady has also been selected to 14 Pro Bowls, and he has been named the NFL MVP three times.
The Packers
All the Packers fans out there are pumped for this season! Green Bay has made some serious changes this offseason and they are looking good. With a new head coach and some new players, the Packers are looking to make a run at the playoffs.
Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, and he plays for the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are looking good this year, and Rodgers is a big part of that. He’s a great leader and a great player, and he has the ability to make plays when it matters most. If the Packers are going to make a run at the Super Bowl this year, Rodgers is going to be a big part of that.
Mike McCarthy
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy is a two-time NFL Coach of the Year, who has led the Packers to nine straight playoff appearances. McCarthy has also been praised for his ability to develop young talent, and he has been able to keep the Packers competitive year after year despite multiple key injuries.
The Seahawks
The Seahawks are looking good this year. They have a great team and they are coached well. They have a lot of potential and they are looking like they could go all the way this year.
Pete Carroll
In 2010, the Seahawks hired Pete Carroll as their new head coach. Carroll had previously coached the New England Patriots and the University of Southern California (USC), where he won seven conference championships and two national championships.
Under Carroll’s leadership, the Seahawks have been to the playoffs six times, including two Super Bowl appearances. In 2013, they won their first Super Bowl title in franchise history.
The Seahawks have been one of the most successful teams in the NFL since Pete Carroll took over as head coach in 2010. They’ve made six playoff appearances, including two Super Bowl appearances, and they won their first Super Bowl title in 2013.
Russell Wilson
As the Seahawks franchise quarterback, Wilson has led the team to seven Playoffs appearances, five NFC West division championships, and back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, winning Super Bowl XLVIII. He holds several Seahawks franchise records, including passing touchdowns (255), passer rating (101.2), and rushing yards by a quarterback (3,651).
The Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys are looking pretty good this year. They have a strong offense and their defense is looking good too. They have a lot of potential and could make it far in the playoffs.
Jason Garrett
In his ninth full season as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Garrett has a 90-62 record, which includes two NFC East titles, three playoff appearances and a victory in NFC Wild Card Game. He is the franchise leader in regular season wins and winning percentage (.591).
Dak Prescott
Dak Prescott was born on July 29, 1993, in Sulphur, Louisiana. He is an American football quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Mississippi State University. As a senior in 2015, he guided the Bulldogs to an undefeated regular season and a No. 1 ranking in all major polls.
