They still have some blemishes but are the favorites to win the Super Bowl, as many expected entering the year. The offense still has some kinks to work out as we enter January. Las Vegas Raiders: Better drafting The Raiders have remained in contention despite a complete nightmare off the field in The Jon Gruden emails and firing were the first ball to drop, but the off-field issues that led to the release of first-round picks Henry Ruggs and Damon Arnette were even uglier.
The team needs to draft better both in terms of talent and character, with years of failed reaches and head-scratching picks preventing the Raiders from getting where they'd like to be. The team looks likely to make the playoffs for the first time since and has seen impressive results in back-to-back drafts. With a talented young core, the Chargers look set to challenge in the AFC for years to come. The team's model of stars with little depth behind them has worked out to this point but could be considered a failure if they fail to reach the Super Bowl.
Miami Dolphins: More consistency Miami still has a real shot to make the playoffs, which is incredible considering they started the season after seven consecutive losses. The team had a lot of problem areas and embarrassing losses early, but the defense has finally rounded into form with just enough help from Tua Tagovailoa and company.
The Dolphins could be contenders in the AFC East next year if they can be more consistent, particularly early in the year. Minnesota Vikings: Defense Minnesota's defense has plunged over the last two seasons, and it could prevent them from making the playoffs in back-to-back years.

The future continues to look bright with Jones and company, as long as Bill Belichick is leading the way. Jameis Winston suffered a major knee injury early in the year, and the future of Taysom Hill under center remains to be seen.
A lack of receiving weapons hasn't helped matters, but it's clear the team needs to do better at quarterback next year. New York Giants: New leadership The Giants continue to scuffle, and there are probably more questions about the organization now than when the team drafted Daniel Jones three years ago.
New York could make changes at head coach and GM during the offseason, but Jones' future with the organization is uncertain after a season-ending neck injury and more hot-and-cold play in Winning looks ever more distant for the Giants, even after their offseason shopping spree.
New York Jets: Better quarterback play The Jets used the second overall draft choice on Zach Wilson, a pick that they could already be regretting after his early struggles this season. It's too soon to give up on Wilson, but fans will need to be prepared for the team to take more lumps in the next year or two if he does remain under center.
Philadelphia Eagles: Improved passing game New Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is making the most of his offensive talent, as the team has transitioned to a run-heavy scheme with good success in the second half of the season. The play of Jalen Hurts has improved in conjunction with the offensive changes, but the big passing plays have been few and far between despite consecutive years using first-round picks on wide receivers.
For the offense to join the elite, Hurts will need to continue developing as a passer. Pittsburgh Steelers: New quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has done a lot for Steeler Nation, but it's been clear for the last year that his time is coming to an end.
