Usually at this point in the season, we have an idea of who the team to chase at the top of the NFL is. So far, though, that’s not the case.
There are only three one-loss teams in the NFL, but one of them has a tie. That means there are a lot of contenders, but none of them have separated themselves yet.
So, the crew on “FOX NFL Sunday” was asked, who is the best team in the league? All four guys had a different answer.
The Chiefs offense was already trending upward, and now Kansas City gets wide receiver Rashee Rice back. Howie Long is buying in.
“Obviously, the head coach, Andy Reid, and Spags (Steve Spagnuolo), the defensive coordinator, and Patrick Mahomes are holding it together with duct tape and glue here. [Xavier] Worthy comes again with the velocity. You noticed the impression that had on their offense. They had been struggling on offense, however they’ve averaged over 30 factors per recreation within the final three video games. Now, they get [Rashee] Rice again. That protection feeds off that offense.”

Gronk went with one in all his former groups, and the one which sat atop Tom Brady’s power rankings.
“The Kansas Metropolis Chiefs are fairly good, however the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, my former group, are the most effective group in soccer. The principle motive is due to Baker Mayfield. He is taking part in the most effective soccer of his profession proper now. Final week, he threw landing passes to his No. 6 and seven huge receivers. That exhibits what sort of depth they have on that roster. Wait till they get again Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka on the sphere on the identical time. That is going to be scary.
“Final 12 months, Baker Mayfield threw 16 interceptions. This 12 months, he is solely thrown one. He is improved tremendously in that class. He can do it on his ft as properly, irrespective of how far the space is to get the primary down. He runs by means of all of the defenders to make the massive performs.”
Michael Strahan is not arguing that Buffalo has been vastly convincing this season, however they may be the hardest out within the NFL this season due to their consistency and who they’ve beneath middle.
“It is a little bit shocking, however Buffalo. Buffalo, they do not have the most effective report, perhaps not the most effective pedigree, however they’ve Josh Allen, the reigning MVP. You have acquired a shot. So, my argument is not that they don’t seem to be the most effective proper now, however they will be the most effective down the street, when it actually issues. I believe that is when Buffalo will present up.”
The Rams opened Sunday by controlling their matchup in London towards the Jaguars, after which Terry Bradshaw mentioned he thinks they’re the most effective within the NFL.
“Straightforward, mine’s the Rams. If it hadn’t been for a blocked area purpose try [and an overtime loss to the 49ers], they’d be 6-0. They will run it with Kyren Williams. They have Davante Adams and Puka Nacua at huge receiver. They have an incredible quarterback. They have an incredible protection. Their protection is lights out.”
