Top 5 NFL Teams After Week 7: Insights from Dan Sileo

This is my top five football teams after week seven and heading in to week eight of the National Football League. Look, I love these Bears. I think these Bears are absolutely sensational. I think the job that Ben Johnson has done. I love the stuff that Kevin Allen has done on the other side too, man. Dennis Allen has really done a great job as the defensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears on that side of the football, man. And they've really got a great dynamic in coaching staff there in Chicago. Look, I know the Chiefs took it hard. In this last weekend, they got a loss here, but I still think the Chiefs, they get that running game and keep that running game going. Make no mistake about it, I think Kansas City is one of your better teams in the AFC, if not the best team in the AFC. Look, the 49ers, I know, look, another tough loss. They were undefeated heading into that game this past weekend. But look, I'm a big believer in Brock Purdy. I love what Kyle Shanahan has done. The big question mark for the 49ers is obviously going to be Aiyuk. It's been that way for the last couple years. Look, I think George Kittle is absolutely the best tight end in all of football right now. And Purdy finds him, but McCaffrey is the engine of that team that keeps that thing going. Look, I don't know how the Minnesota Vikings are undefeated. They have no offense. They're one of the worst offensive football teams in all the NFL. And here they are right now, sitting there at number two, with the best defensive football team in the NFL. Brian Flores has done a marvelous job at being the defensive coordinator of that football team they really have done a great job you know I got the number one team as the Buffalo Bills look I know their defense is not where it needs to be but boy when you got Josh Allen Josh Allen is without a doubt the absolutely kingpin and linchpin to this thing right now in the NFL they have a great offense right now the running attack is great and I love what they did in the offseason by elevating Joe Brady and getting rid of Sean McDermott look I think Sean McDermott's a good coach but Joe Brady has really connected now with Josh Allen and that looks like the right fit for years to come then Buffalo need to fix up that defense but there's my top five also my MVP look kind of the same grouping of teams with the players that have been essential in this start of the season so far. Kenneth Walker kind of held at bay this past weekend. Still, this guy's got 668 yards. He has absolutely been the reason that the Kansas City Chiefs look like, again, one of the more dominant teams, as we said, in the AFC. And when you look at Seattle's ills and their issues that they had when it came to being able to win ball games, I think the inconsistency in that offense has been the fact that they lost Blake Cubiak to the Raiders, but they also lost Walker. Speaking of Seattle, is there a better wide receiver in pro football than JSN? This guy is a game changer. This guy is a guy that moves the needle. Anytime they need a big play, he is without a doubt just absolutely the best wide receiver in all of pro football. But Joe Burrow and that Bengals team, in my opinion, really starting to make some noise here. Look, I love the fact that they added some defensive pieces. The big question mark is going to be on that offensive line. I'm going to give you a number here for Joe Burrow over the last five years. Over the last five years, Joe Burrow, PFF, if you believe in PFF, the average grade for their offensive line is 28th, which means a 28th best offensive line and Joe Burrow has put up some of the greatest numbers in NFL history the question mark is going to be all the moves that they made in the offseason in the defensive line and also in the offensive line is that going to be enough to propel Cincinnati into a position where they can contend for an AFC Burrow and Jamar Chase and all them guys T Higgins no question about it man Joe Burrow right now is having another fabulous season Brock Purdy I know wasn't a great week he had a horrible interception this past weekend but Purdy has put up some of the best numbers so far in San Francisco 49er history I had a conversation a couple of days ago with Steve Young and Steve Young was saying he's not really seen anybody in the NFL that progression reads as well as what Brock Purdy does now it also helps that you have Kyle Shanahan sitting there also and being your play caller there's no question about it man make no mistake and number one look Josh Allen is the number one guy in all of pro football he is just absolutely the best player in the game right now weekend and week out you see him playing weekend and week out you see him carrying his football team there is no doubt like we said the combination between Joe Brady and what you had with the head coach and being able to connect with the quarterback, it has been a great relationship so far. Now, the question is going to be whether or not the defensive side of the football is going to be able to help Josh Allen. Here's the one thing you got to remember with Allen. Can Josh Allen win four games in a row? Can he win possibly three games in a row? Which means this, folks. He's got to be Superman each and every single weekend. He's gotta be.
