It's Thanksgiving time on Thursday, so here's Alex Ferguson's round-up of what NFL fans should be grateful for (in no particular order):
1. New England Patriots - Tom Brady. I'll leave it at that, shall I?
2. Buffalo Bills - The defence is much improved.
3. New York Jets - Leonard Williams, and Ryan Fitzpatrick's awesome beard.
4. Houston Texans - JJ Watt. And DeAndre Hopkins.
5. Cincinnati Bengals - Andy Dalton is playing really well. Note: No thanks to the refs in the Arizona Cardinals game.
6. Arizona Cardinals - The refs in the Cincy game, and the renewal of Larry Fitzgerald. And Carson Palmer hasn't been crocked. Yet.
7. San Diego Chargers - Beautiful weather. And that's about it.
8. Philadelphia Eagles - They are still within striking distance in the NFC East.
9. Washington Redskins - The team's showing more fight than it's done for years.
10. Pittsburgh Steelers - Good back-up running backs, and awesome offensive minds.
11. Baltimore Ravens - Justin Tucker, their kicker.
12. Indianapolis Colts - We love you, Mr Hasselbeck.
13. Seattle Seahawks - Kam Chancellor returning.
14. Chicago Bears - The Chicago Blackhawks will help get them through the winter.
15. Green Bay Packers - Aaron Rodgers and James Jones. An unexpected, beautiful connection.
16. New York Giants - Jason Pierre-Paul's return. And Odell Beckham. And Eli's new-found accuracy. He's winning the Manning Bowl this year!
17. Denver Broncos - THAT defence.
18. Carolina Panthers - If anyone Cam, Cam Newton cam (excuse the puns!).
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Good NFL No 1 pick selection.
20. Tennessee Titans - The hope that things will get better for Marcus Mariota.
21. Jacksonville Jaguars - Allen Robinson, who's making circus catches. Oh, and the pool in the stadium.
22. St Louis Rams - Todd Gurley. The non-fumbling Todd Gurley.
23. New Orleans Saints - The team finally fired Rob Ryan.
24. Oakland Raiders - Pat-on-the-back to themselves for being awesome. Oh, and Amari Cooper.
25. St Francisco 49ers - A nice stadium built so close to San Francisco and a winning team (#sarcasm). And they can concentrate on the Golden State Warriors, who are unbeaten.
26. Cleveland Browns - Gary Barnidge, a very special tight end.
27. Miami Dolphins - Firing Joe Philbin.
28. Detroit Lions - Unexpected, awesome victories.
29. Minnesota Vikings - Adrian Peterson and his return to form.
30. Kansas City Chiefs - Great London trips.
31. Atlanta Falcons - Julioooooooooo!!!
32. Dallas Cowboys - Tony Romo's back! And so is Dez Bryant! Yay!
