NFL 2017: 1 Thing each team should be thankful for at Thanksgiving
By Derek Snyder
Green Bay Packers: Aaron Rodgers
Sometimes, it takes going without something or someone, to truly understand how good we have it. Every Packers fan will say they’ve always been grateful for Aaron Rodgers, but we all see just how important he really is to the Packers overall success, especially since Green Bay has lost four out of five games since he broke his collarbone in Week 6.
Houston Texans: A Bright Future
Even though the Texans, more than likely, will not be making the AFC Playoffs in 2017, they can be thankful for a bright future with Deshaun Watson at quarterback. Before Watson tore his ACL a few weeks ago, the rookie set the NFL on fire by throwing for 19 touchdowns in 7 games. If there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that Houston is set at quarterback for years to come.
Indianapolis Colts: Jacoby Brissett
Unfortunately for the Colts, Andrew Luck has missed the entire 2017 season, which has put the team in a very tough situation. However, the young Jacoby Brissett has played pretty darn will in Luck’s absence, throwing for 2,172 yards and 9 touchdowns. If it weren’t for Brissett, the Browns wouldn’t be the only team running away with the 1st overall pick in the upcoming draft.
