Indianapolis Colts - Theon Greyjoy (at the end of season 7). They started 1-5, there were question marks if they’d ever get back their pride (deflate gate, Andrew Luck injuries, Owner having public substance abuse issues, Josh McDaniel big timing them at the alter). this is all like Theon’s run of bad decisions, spineless decisions and dishonorable decisions, but on Dragonstone, theon Head butted his way back to the respect of his men, and is now on the hunt for his sister Yara. IN essence he’s got his mojo back and the Colts do to. I don’t think they’ll have any shot at the throne, but they’re once again an interesting component of this narrative 

Houston Texans - Berric Dondarrion - they were 0-3 and seemed dead. Deshaun Watson had a catastrophic leg/knee injury - but he regained his form and the Texans regained their’s. I’m not sure that Bill O’Brien is Thoros of Myr - but either way, as reincarnations in GOT go, i’m not sure the Texans are ready to be Jon Snow or even the mountain in terms of rising up… but at the very least — they’ve got a new lease on life for sure. 

Seattle Seahawks - The Seahawks are Jorah Mormot. They rose up from disgrace back in the day to become major players under Pete Carroll. Then they were cast aside, and left for dead (gray scale), but somehow found a way to get cured, cleanse themselves and get back onto the right side of the narrative. I’m not sure that they’re road this year leads them all the way to glory, but they’ve got  mix of luck, skill and knowledge that could keep them alive. 

Dallas Cowboys - I’m going with Tywin Lannister (father to Jamie & Cersei and allegedly Tyrion) because I think Jerry Jones is more like Tywin Lannister than another NFL owner. Overbearing, always asserting himself into the narrative, seems to have the deepest pockets and eventually get his way. Some love him, more fear him, but most just can’t stand him.
