Week 12 in the NFL was nothing short of spectacular, some underdogs won and some teams are still on fire. Let’s go through my three biggest takeaways from Sunday’s games and why they should or shouldn’t be worried about their season.
Broncos and Rams have the darkest future?
With both the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams losing on Sunday’s slate of games, do both of these teams have the dimmest of futures for the next few years? I believe so. With both teams giving up major draft capital for the next few years and being in a bad cap situation, the future doesn’t look bright, with Broncos trading for and signing quarterback Russell Wilson for the next five years, the Broncos are dont have multiple draft picks and having such a high cap hit with Russell Wilson the Broncos could be in for a long next half decade. For the Rams they aren’t in as bad of a situation but with the Rams having traded so much draft capital and pushing their cap bill down the road the bill finally has to be paid and it’s already looking bad for both teams.
Good Jaguars or bad Ravens?
Was this win by the Jacksonville Jaguars over the Baltimore Ravens today more about a good Jaguars win or a bad Baltimore team? It’s more of a bad Ravens team as Baltimore’s defense still can’t seem to stop anybody, even a below average Jacksonville Jaguars team that was 1-6 in their last seven one possession games. This Ravens team seems to be spiraling these last few weeks with a close win over the Carolina Panthers in week 11 and this bad defensive showing in week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Overall even with the Ravens trading for star linebacker Roquon Smith, this Ravens defense is still really struggling.
Red hot NFC teams taking over?
With a few teams getting hot in the NFC let’s take a look at the two hottest teams in the NFC that no team would want to face right now. First the Washington Commanders, the Commanders are currently 7-5 and are on a six game win streak and are 5-1 with quarterback Taylor Hieneke, this Washington team could potentially upset any team in the league as of today. The other team that’s red hot and potentially the best overall team in the NFL is the San Francisco 49ers, the 49ers have the best overall roster in the league with all pro players on every unit, this San Francisco team is poised to make a run this year in what most believe is a very weak NFC conference.
