The Kyler Murray/Kliff Kingsbury experiment got off to a rocking start last year. Now in year two, Steve Keim decided to help Murray out by giving him the best receiver in the league, while also improving the offensive line. Keim also managed to add some pieces on defense as well. Arizona plays in potentially the toughest division in the league but could compete for a playoff spot.

The Houston Texans were able to get themselves out of the wild card round for the first time in three years, knocking off the Buffalo Bills 22-19 in overtime. However, they still would not be able to get over that divisional round hump, losing out to the eventual Super Bowl winner Kansas City Chiefs 51-31. The Texans in fact would have a 24-0 lead early in the second quarter but gave up 28 unanswered points before half-time. With the 2019 season in the past, it’s now time to focus on the 2020 season. Here are my team award predictions for the Texans.

Texan fans had to endure quite the offseason this year. They watched as their de facto general manager traded away their star receiver for an

For the second year in a row, the Buffalo Bills reached the playoffs in the 2019 season after the team’s first ten-win season since 1999. After a disappointing loss in Houston that saw them blow a 16-0 lead, the Bills will look to bounce back heading into next season. Led by head coach Sean Mcdermott and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, the strength once again will be the team’s defense, which ranked 2nd overall in the league last season. After the departure of Tom Brady from the AFC East, the Bills are the odds on favorites by many to capture their first division title in over 20 years, following an offseason that saw them add Stefon Diggs, AJ Klein, Vernon Butler, and Quinton Jefferson in free agency.

The Los Angeles Chargers are in a difficult spot. Their defense is one of the best in the league, led by an elite secondary. The offensive line has added pieces around whoever is going to play quarterback, be it Tyrod Taylor, or Justin Herbert. Austin Ekeler will now be the workhorse out of the backfield with Melvin Gordon heading to the division-rival Denver Broncos. The Chargers are trying to make the most out of their great defense, but the quarterback question marks are a major concern.

For the first time in years, it seems like the Miami Dolphins have an identity. Brian Flores may seem reserved on the outside but his burning desire to win should be unquestioned. Flores is also in a unique spot because the second half of the 2019 season really proved he can rally a group. I think he’s going to get the full three to five years that it takes to build a football culture. With guys like Byron Jones and Kyle Van Noy stepping into big roles for Miami, I expect the defense to move forward dramatically.
