With the running game being such an important factor in a NFL team's success, it makes sense why many teams are not winning big games, or why they're unable to win many games. The running back while it may be the easiest to replace, is still one of the most important positions and below are five teams that need a superstar running back to boost their team to the promise land.

Kansas City Chiefs

Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs made it to the AFC Championship last year, but did you notice how they lost. At the beginning of the season the Chiefs had Kareem Hunt, a superstar running back to help their team, but after his little incident they cut him, and while Damien Williams had filled in admirably, Williams is still only a backup, and if the Chiefs had a superstar running back, they would definitely be in the Superbowl.

Philadelphia Eagles

Jay Ajayi and Darren Sproles both have expiring contracts this year and last year the Eagles struggled mightily in the running game. In their Superbowl winning year in 2018 they had a sound rushing attack as well as a formidable passing attack. If they ever want to achieve that again they need a dynamic rusher.

Oakland Raiders

With Marshawn Lynch becoming another year older, it's time for the Raiders to move on. They need a Le'veon Bell sort of running back for this offense as they haven't had a star since Bo Jackson. The Raiders are far off from winning, but obtaining a star running back will help them greatly.

New York Jets

The Jets have a good QB, and decent receivers, now all they need is a good running back. The Jets have some major cap space and also are releasing Isaiah Crowell soon. Now all they need is Le'veon Bell and they'll still be behind the Patriots in the AFC East.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers had arguably the worst run game in the NFL last year. They have no star running back, they don't even have a decent running back on the roster. Ronald Jones was a major bust and Peyton Barber didn't make much of an impact. With Bruce Arians running the ship now, the Bucs should look to the draft get a difference maker in running back.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
