Most surprising team in the AFC?

Who is the one team for those of you who follow the NFL would be the shock team of the AFC? For me, I would say the Cleveland Browns. If you think about where this team has been in the last few years, then you may understand why I think they are a shock. They are currently 6-4 and beat the Ravens in a rare season sweep. The only losses they've had in their division have been against the Steelers. At this moment, could possibly become a major threat to go to the post-season. I don't know what it is but I think it has something to do with Frye being gone this season. They look more like a team than they have in years. I guess they've had way too many I's on that team. You could say Miami due to them really doing horrific this season by going 0-10 and on pace but not likely to reach 0-16 this season for some reason. I still find Cleveland more of a shock considering where they've been and that's at the bottom of the AFC North Cellar. Finally, it's someone else that's actually dead last. The Bengals still seem to be the team that has lost themselves. I guess that can happen when your team has had too many guys going to jail constantly. If that team would tell their players not to think they are above the law, perhaps they could have done better. But on a major question, who is the most surprising team in the AFC? I might do one for the NFC but I am not sure yet.

I'm happy for the Browns, and yes I would say they are a surprise team in the AFC. They look smart now for getting rid of Frye, Anderson has been amazing. I think the Chargers are a surprise team, they look bad. Philip Rivers seems to have taken a step back. Although, I shouldn't say it's much of a surprise,, because Norv Turner has never had success as a head coach. He should stick to being an offensive cordinator, the 49ers miss him.

That's true. The Chargers have been dissapointing but the only thing on their side is everyone in that division is barley playing .500 ball or lower. Good point about being a negative and the Browns would be a positive surprise team. Turner's never had a very good track of being a successful head coach. He probably should stick with being an offensive coordinator because it seems to be his best suit.
