We’re deep into December football now, and the stakes for each week are steadily rising.

But over the past six weeks, this team has found its footing. Not only have they won five of six games, but they are arguably playing better football than all but a couple teams right now. Their offense—now fully healthy—is playing at an elite level. Their defense, too, has been playing as a top-10 unit in the NFL.
