NFL Thanksgiving 2014: 5 NFL Teams We’re Thankful For

5: The Oakland Raiders (for obvious reasons…)

We love watching the National Football League and the fantastic product it puts on the field every Sunday.

However, there’s something about teams that struggle to get much going that we fans just love so much! It’s fun to watch guys like Aaron Rodgers and his offense score points and run the field constantly, but as much as we might hate to admit it, we’ll sometimes root for failure.

Maybe it’s not fair, but I can tell you for a fact that there were countless NFL fans rooting for the Raiders to go 0-16 this season. Despite a win against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday Night Football, Oakland still has folks out there hoping for a total collapse that sees them finish 1-15.

Again – not fair, but true… Admit it.

4: Cleveland Browns (Manziel Mania is too fun, right?)

Maybe we should simply credit Manziel for this one. However, the truth is real – we love watching the Browns’ every move, especially when it involves the former Aggie.

It’s not just Manziel. Seeing Mike Pettine do the things he’s doing right now is incredible. We never know what to expect from Brian Hoyer on a weekly basis, something that undoubtedly makes things a bit more exciting.

We can’t say that they’re the greatest talent at times, but it’s safe to say that we would lose some NFL fun if the Browns weren’t in the league.
