While there have been glimmers of hope, particularly for the Houston Texans, having made three Divisional Round appearances (2011, 2012, 2016), the AFC South has been wildly inconsistent, especially following Peyton Manning’s departure from the Indianapolis Colts in 2011.

John Steinbeck’s novel, The Grapes of Wrath, masterfully portrays the plight of the more than 350,000 people displaced by the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. As any great piece or art, The Grapes of Wrath creates empathy and change in the minds of its readers by revealing the hope and resilience held by the “Okies”, and exposing the wrongs and sorrow they suffered.
