New York Jets: The emergence of Robby Anderson

While the Jets are sitting at a lowly (4-6), fans should be thankful for what they’ve gotten from wide receiver Robby Anderson this year. In his second NFL season out of Temple, Anderson has become the best wide-out New York has to offer, leading the team with 586 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns. It’s hard to find reasons to smile about football when you’re team has a losing record, but Anderson definitely makes it a little easier.

Oakland Raiders: The AFC is having a down year

Somehow and someway, even after the Raiders have been extremely average through ten games, they still have a chance to make the AFC Playoffs. Even though they sit at (4-6), the Baltimore Ravens, who currently own the conference’s last playoff seed, have a (5-5) record. With only six games left, it appears Oakland in still in the hunt.

Philadelphia Eagles: Carson Wentz

Eagles fans better be thanking their lucky stars their team decided to take a chance on Carson Wentz a few off-seasons ago. Through ten games, he has led Philly to a league-best (9-1) record, while throwing for 25 touchdowns and only 5 interceptions. Can anyone say MVP?
