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 pace. You noticed the impression that had on their offense. They have been struggling on offense, however they’ve averaged over 30 factors per sport within the final three video games. Now, they get [Rashee] Rice again. That protection feeds off that offense.”

Gronk went with certainly one of his former groups, and the one which sat atop Tom Brady’s energy rankings.
“The Kansas Metropolis Chiefs are fairly good, however the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, my former crew, are the most effective crew in soccer. The primary cause is due to Baker Mayfield. He is enjoying the most effective soccer of his profession proper now. Final week, he threw landing passes to his No. 6 and seven broad receivers. That reveals 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 similar 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 nicely, irrespective of how far the gap 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 massively convincing this season, however they may be the hardest out within the NFL this season due to their consistency and who they’ve below heart.
“It is just a little shocking, however Buffalo. Buffalo, they do not have the most effective file, possibly not the most effective pedigree, however they’ve Josh Allen, the reigning MVP. You have received a shot. So, my argument is not that they are not the most effective proper now, however they’re going to be the most effective down the highway, when it actually issues. I believe that is when Buffalo will present up.”
The Rams opened Sunday by controlling their matchup in London in opposition to 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 discipline aim 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 broad receiver. They have an excellent quarterback. They have an excellent protection. Their protection is lights out.”
