Pittsburgh Steelers: Finally, their defense is back to being legit

Don’t look now, but the Steelers just might be the most dangerous team in Pennsylvania and the NFL through ten games. Sure, their offense has been decent, but it’s been Pittsburgh’s defense that has taken them to another level in 2017. If this unit can stay healthy over their remaining schedule, the Steelers could be playing in February for the millionth time.

San Francisco 49ers: Jimmy Garoppolo

While the 2017 season has been a miserable thing to watch for 49ers fans, at least they can look forward to seeing Jimmy Garappolo under center next season. Not only does he possess the talent to take this franchise back to the NFC Playoffs, but he could easily be the best San Francisco quarterback since the early 2000’s. Alas, something for 49ers fans to rejoice about.

Seattle Seahawks: Russell Wilson

Frankly, Russell Wilson is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, hands down. Not only is he the only person keeping Seattle in the NFC Playoff race, but he’s easily keeping them from drafting in the top ten this upcoming April as well. Regardless of how this season turns out, Wilson is the best thing the Seahawks have in their future.
