NFL's three BEST teams to watch in 2022? Give me the Lions, Falcons and Jets! (The best part of the 2022 NFL season has NOT been the marquee superstars. Don't get me wrong, I love Patrick Mahomes. Josh Allen. Lamar Jackson. Et al. But we knew they were going to be great. No, to me, the best part of this season has been those teams that have been unexpectedly super fun. The not-ready-for-prime-time teams that have captured our imagination and played in some of the most thrilling games of the year. I'm talking about the Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets. Yes, the Jets! Gang Green's become a main attraction in the NFL this fall. It reminds me of my youth. We'd travel all over Southern California to watch Reel Big Fish. But at some point, we found ourselves enjoying the opening act much, much more. Of course, that opening act was Blink-182 -- pre-Travis Barker, mind you. It was this poppy, crass, little punk band, but you could never take your eyes off them. And dammit, that's the way I feel about those three aforementioned teams. Because they are what make the NFL great. You can have all your headliners and future Hall of Famers. Give me the chaos of the undercard. Give me the insanity, which has made this league so amazing to follow. The Lions being entertaining isn't that big of a surprise. Dan Campbell has been a walking quote machine since he took over as head coach in January of 2021. Detroit became a sentimental favorite this summer when it appeared on Hard Knocks. Even the most ardent of fans of NFC North rivals -- I fall into that category, as a Bears supporter -- have a soft spot for the Lions because of their appearance on the wildly popular HBO docudrama. With only one playoff win since 1957, the Lions feel relegated to permanent also-ran status. But holy [smokes] are they entertaining! They are like that loveable wrestling jobber we're all rooting for, a rando who'll eventually be squashed by the main eventers. I guess that would make the Lions the Danhausen of the NFL in this scenario. Let me tell you, if you haven't seen Danhausen, you're about to go into a YouTube wormhole. Enjoy. And hey, the man hails from Detroit!! The Lions have been a Scorigami dream. Last week, they lost (obviously) to the Seahawks. It was the first game in NFL history with a 48-45 final score, which just kind of seems weird. But not as weird as the fact that Jared Goff has played in three of the four games with at least 90 combined points in the last five seasons. JARED GOFF. The Lions have scored 140 points (35 points per game) and allowed 141 points (35.3 ppg) this season. The 281 combined points scored and allowed are the most by any team in the first four games of a season in NFL history. The 140 points are the most in the first four games in club history. The 141 points allowed? The second-most in club history. (They are the Lions, after all.) But that's the thing here. If you're going to start the season 1-3, at least be interesting. I mean, it gets a little sad seeing Campbell get into his feelings after a game. But I kind of love the drama.): https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-s-three-best-teams-to-watch-in-2022-give-me-the-lions-falcons-jets
