10 biggest surprise NFL teams thus far on the season
By Andrew Garda
We’re two weeks in and already everything in the NFL has been upended. Up is down, down is up and the Jacksonville Jaguars are tied for first with the Tennessee Titans for the lead in the AFC South.
Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.
It’s pretty fantastic, isn’t it?
Of course, the thing to remember is that this could and probably will be totally different in a month. Heck, it might all reverse again by the end of this weekend.
If anything has been driven home the last two weeks, it’s that we never know as much as we think we do. Things change quickly around here, and if you don’t move fast you’ll get left behind. That’s what keeps us coming back and ignoring the horde of DraftKings and FanDuel commercials that are shown during every commercial break.
We’ve certainly had some incredible surprises this year so far.
Surprise teams are the best and the worst part of the early NFL season. It’s the best when your team is flying high, especially if everyone assumed they were going to suck out of the gate. It’s the worst when your team was supposed to be good and instead has not only stumbled to start the season, but caught fire, rolled down a hill and collided with another team that is also on fire.
We’ve gotten teams today who managed to surprise us—some good, some bad. We’ll tell you the how and why they got to where they are, but also how things might change.
It’s Week 2 of the NFL season and the ride is already filled with twists and turns. What have been your favorite moments, biggest surprises and harshest disappointments over the first two weeks? Let us know down in the comments.
