Her Take

As we gather with friends and family for our annual celebrations of food and football, it’s only natural to reflect on the things for which we are thankful and that bring us joy. Below, I’ve listed the things each NFL team should be thankful for.

AFC East

Buffalo Bills

Josh Allen has thrown 12 interceptions this year, but it could be worse. He could be Kenny Pickett.

Miami Dolphins

Mike McDaniel’s press conferences.

New England Patriots

Mac Jones giving them the opportunity to draft Tom Brady’s replacement.

New York Jets

Still being just one quarterback away from being relevant.

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens

Keaton Mitchell getting his chance to shine (okay, maybe this is just why I’m thankful).

Cincinnati Bengals

With Joe Burrow hurt, they don’t have to worry about losing in the playoffs again.

Cleveland Browns

For once, they’re not the worst team in their division.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Finally getting rid of Matt Canada.

AFC South

Houston Texans

CJ Stroud. That’s it.

Indianapolis Colts

Ryan Kelly and his wife finally have their babies.

Trevor Lawrence’s hair.

Tennessee Titans

I’m not sure, but maybe Will Levis teaching them the ways of using mayonnaise as coffee creamer?

Hiring Sean Payton instead of Jim Harbaugh.

Andy Reid. Today and always.

They won’t be the worst team in Las Vegas after the Athletics move in.

They’re not the Panthers.

The bad man can’t hurt them anymore.

They’re not the Panthers.

Being 8-2 for the first time since JFK was President.

They’ve finally figured out maybe Aaron Rodgers wasn’t the problem.

Caleb Williams.

New Orleans Saints

The Panthers.

They’re not the Panthers.
