6. Pittsburgh Steelers

This may be really high for a lot of people, but what do the Steelers lack?

The running game is going to be alright because it was fine last year without Le’Veon Bell so why should it be any worse this year. Sticking with the offensive, they obviously aren’t afraid to pass it, throwing it 650 times last year.

Defensively they have a talented front line backed by rookie linebacker Devin Bush who had a big preseason for the Steelers. If the big investments they made at DB over the last few years can even get close to panning out then this team is going to get scary again quickly.

5. L.A. Chargers

The only team in the NFL that I think can rival the Tennessee Titans in terms of defensive back talent, the Chargers are a scary team when healthy. The problem is that the Chargers always seem to suffer these catastrophic injuries at some point in the season.

Well, unfortunately that time has already come with Derwin James going down for a few months after an injury in practice. It is stuff like this that keeps fans from seeing a Chargers Super Bowl run, but I will say that if they stay healthy that team looks very dangerous on both sides of the ball.
