I had no idea KC was playing that good. I guess I would have to agree with that list.
Carolina playing as bad as they are seems like a bit of a shocker also.

They have Alex Smith, they are not going anywhere again this year.

What are your biggest NFL 2016 Shockers and where do the Cowboys narratives rank?

Here are the biggest shockers...at least for me. (this is my list)

1. Kansas City Chiefs, have won 16 of their last 18 regular season games.
2. Oakland Raiders are good...maybe great
3. Cowboys are the best team in the NFC
4. Dak Prescott is not only viable starter but a star
5. Tom Brady at age 39 is having his best statistical season
6. The league is on pace for 3500 penalties, second most in history
7. Aaron Rogers looks ordinary

What's your #1 shocker?

Chiefs have been playing well not a shocker.

Raiders were expected to be On the rise this year.

Cowboys were predicted to win division andback to2014 form with best OL , top RB in draft along with Romo's return.

Dak has been a surprise . Time will tell.

Brady is on a mission. God help the rest of NFL.

I wouldn't knock Rodgers out yet.

My biggest surprise is Carolina down and Atlanta surge. But that could still change.

For me yes. The #1 pick in the draft, Rams won't play. And are sticking with Keenum, who is horrible and a qb rating of 77.2. He has 9 tds with a whopping 11 ints.

The way he played in that London game should have made Goff the starter in the next game. That was a joke of a performance.

Dallas second in the league in points differential by a huge margin, #1 is NE and it's close.

Led by the rookie backup QB and RB, and this defense. That's crazy

I guess that isn't very offensive to the millions and millions of people playing FF.

Lol. Over 40 million as of last year.

I don't play but I wouldn't call FF dumb . The effects and influences it has is a good argument though .

True. But there are busts in every draft...that's if he turns out to be such.

Finding an elite quarterback in the 4th round...and having him succeed immediately...is a bigger surprise.

Almost but not quite as good a story as Romo being udfa. We hit the lottery with Collins, Zeke, and Dak at the halfway point of the season.

Goff isn't a bust, he hasn't played yet. Rams just refuse to play him.

Maybe my surprise is mostly because of how they are disregarded. How can so many have so little regard for a team that plays in the toughest division and despite that has won 16 of it's last 18 games!

Romo was injured before we entered the season. Defense was viewed as horrible. It's a MASSIVE surprise to be where we are. We may have to some big surprises for the second half of the season.

I predicted on this site when Carolina was 1-5 that they would overcome all and make the playoffs. They are now 3-5, but they do have serious injuries and the league seems less than friendly with Cam Newton.

I haven't ranked my list yet, just collected the items.

KC hasn't even been on my radar--I've paid them no attention. But damn! AFC West is STACKED right now.

I haven't watched them play in a long time...but I do seem to remember their style being boring.

We can dub the Chiefs the most boring shocker!

I am certainly in agreement with 3 and 4!!;)! #1 is a surprise and a shocker! Reid usually finds a way to loose in tne Playoffs though. He has always been an outstanding regular season Coach.
