Super Bowl Sleepers

The playoff race for the Super Bowl is ramping up. You have your top teams in Kansas City, New England, New Orleans, and the Los Angeles Rams. You even have the Chicago Bears up there as a potential Super Bowl team. But which teams should not be taken lightly?

• Seattle Seahawks: The top rushing team in the NFL is Seattle with 2,000 rushing yards to its name. Seattle is also averaging 153.8 yards per game, tops in the NFL. The Seahawks also have Russell Wilson, who can take over a game single-handed. The Legion of Boom may be broken up, but Bobby Wagner and a young defense have shown to be just as tough at times.
  
• Dallas Cowboys: How 'bout dem Cowboys? Ezekiel Elliott leads all running backs in rushing yards with 1,262. The Cowboys offense is even more of a threat with Amari Cooper in town and the offensive line being better despite injuries. The Cowboys also have homegrown defensive talent that can take them far, especially on the defensive line.
  
• Los Angeles Chargers: Melvin Ingram has become one of the better edge rushers in the league. He has 36 combined tackles, a forced fumble, and 5.5 sacks this season. The Chargers also look good offensively, with Philip Rivers being capable of lighting up the stat sheet.
  
• Houston Texans: Is this the year Houston puts it all together? With DeAndre Hopkins (nine touchdown receptions) teaming up with Deshaun Watson on offense, it's possible. Don't forget Jadeveon Clowney and that J.J. Watt guy manning the Texans front seven.
