11. New England Patriots

After losing two tough games in a row, did anyone really expect Tom Brady and the New England Patriots to allow it to happen for a third time when hosting the Miami Dolphins in Week 4? The future Hall of Fame quarterback didn’t exactly have the best game after tossing two interceptions, but seeing Brady make up for it with three touchdowns along with a Patriots win is what really matters the most.

Knowing his competitive mindset, one can only imagine what Brady was thinking before the start of this game since the last thing he wanted to deal with was New England sitting at 1-3 heading into Week 5. There’s a reason why the Patriots are always viewed as an early Super Bowl contender, and even though the Dolphins are still on top of the AFC East, chances are that won’t last much longer if Brady has anything to do with it.

Plus, with New England getting one of their top threats in Julian Edelman back for Thursday’s showdown with the Indianapolis Colts, it’s only going to make this team that much more dangerous. If football fans thought Brady was fired up after Sunday’s win, just imagine his excitement with Edelman back.
