Chicago Bears: Jordan Howard

Without Jordan Howard, the Bears would easily be challenging the Browns for the 1st overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Thanks to his 841 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns, Chicago is staying competitive each and every weekend. Not to mention, with a very raw rookie quarterback, John Fox has no choice to but to rely on Howard. Life is about the little things Bears fans.

Cincinnati Bengals: AJ Green

Much like the Bears, Cincinnati should be thankful for one of their only offensive play-makers. AJ Green has not only kept the Bengals somewhat relevant in 2017, but he’s also having one of his best years in the NFL. With a few more big games down the stretch, Green could challenge Antonio Brown for the league’s receiving title.

Cleveland Browns: Next Season

I’m sorry Cleveland, I’m trying to stay positive, but the Browns haven’t given us one reason to appreciate them in 2017. The offense is terrible, the defense is average and they are losing football games every way imaginable. However, there is always great news for Browns fans this time of year – there’s always next season.
