The 10 biggest surprises thus far of the 2014 NFL regular season.

Every National Football League regular season is a roller coaster ride filled with surprises, and things are no different in 2014. The best team in the NFL comes out of the AFC West, and that side is again a favorite to complete a trek to the Super Bowl. Fans of the Detroit Lions are celebrating the fact that they cheer on what is the worst 6-2 team in the league. Kyle Orton could be two months away from starting in a NFL Playoff game.

Wacky.

Cleveland became the “Center of the Sports Universe ™” during the spring and summer months. The Browns traded up in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft to grab Texas A&M phenom Johnny Manziel, and LeBron James announced that he was taking his talents back to northeast Ohio and to the Cleveland Cavaliers. One of those men will get his first Cleveland start of 2014 later on this week.

It won’t be Manziel.
