NFL 2017: 1 Thing each team should be thankful for at Thanksgiving

1 of 11

It’s finally Thanksgiving, which means it’s time to reflect on one thing each NFL team should be thankful for this holiday season.

We are heading into the 12th weekend of NFL football, starting with three great games on Thanksgiving day. With the playoff-picture coming into focus for both conferences, each game from here on out will be played at a totally different intensity. Needless to say, the fun is just getting started.

That said, with Thanksgiving arriving, it’s time to reflect on all the reasons why we are thankful for our favorite teams and players. Whether it’s because they make our Sunday even better or they’ve won you multiple fantasy football titles; every NFL team has a reason to be thankful in 2017.

Take a look at those reasons, starting with the Arizona Cardinals, below:

Arizona Cardinals: Larry Fitzgerald

Even though the Cardinals aren’t playing well whatsoever in 2017, they can always count on Larry Fitzgerald to give them a great performance. Leading the team with 69 receptions for 768 receiving yards and four touchdowns, the future Hall-of-Fame wide receiver is the best thing Arizona has going for them in 2017.

Atlanta Falcons: Keanu Neal

The second-year safety out of the University of Florida has easily become one of the best players Atlanta has on defense. For years, the Falcons struggled to find a safety who would bring the hammer down, but could also cover tight-ends in the passing game. Needless to say, Neal is a huge reason why this team is making another run at the NFC Playoffs.
