1. New England Patriots (1)

Sunday’s game against the Cardinals was supposed to be one of the games the New England Patriots were going to lose with Tom Brady out due to suspension. After the Patriots pulled off the impressive win on the road without Brady or Rob Gronkowski in the lineup, it’s scary to think just how dangerous this team really is.

The fact that New England’s defense kept Arizona’s offense in check while finding success on offense with Jimmy Garoppolo shows this team will find ways to win, no matter how difficult the situation. When looking at the schedule for the Patriots at the beginning of the season, it was the two games against the Cardinals and Texans that stood out the most.

With the way they played in the national spotlight against a very tough Arizona team, it’s safe to say New England may actually go 4-0 without Brady. At this point, the Patriots seem like the team to beat, and just imagine what’s going to happen when Gronk and Brady return to the field.
