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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
