RANKED: All 32 NFL Offenses From Worst To Best

In today’s NFL, offenses have to put up big scoring totals to compete. The teams that can’t consistently score often get left in the dust. With the NFL Draft wrapping up, and depth charts beginning to form, let’s take a quick glance across the league to find the top offenses. Ranking the NFL’s best offenses from worst to best:

32. Cleveland Browns

In a league with 32 teams, one team has to be ranked No. 32. This isn’t to say the Browns are completely lacking talent on the offensive side of the ball. In Year 1 with the team, Jerry Jeudy enjoyed a breakout season and made his first Pro Bowl appearance. They added two young running backs in the draft — Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson — who will both run behind a solid offensive line. Quarterback is the biggest question mark. Will the veteran Joe Flacco get the call or will it be one of the rookies — Shedeur Sanders or Dillon Gabriel?

31. Tennessee Titans

No. 1 pick Cam Ward could elevate this group instantly, but he’s not walking into a great situation. Ward’s offensive line was elite in his one year at the University of Miami, and that won’t be the case in Tennessee. His supporting cast is middling, with WR Calvin Ridley and RB Tony Pollard as the top options. It majorly depends on how Ward develops throughout the year. Being a league-average offense should be considered a win during his rookie year.

30. New Orleans Saints

Through the first two weeks last season, the Saints looked like an elite offense led by strong-armed quarterback Derek Carr and one of the fastest WR corps in the league. However, a couple of injuries ultimately derailed New Orleans’ year and exposed its lack of depth. They tried to address the offensive line issues by selecting Texas’ Kelvin Banks Jr. with the No. 9 pick. Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed both have great speed at WR, but the team lacks a sure-handed target who can consistently move the chains. And, Carr is already entering the year with an injury. We could see rookie Tyler Shough earn the Week 1 starting job. This isn’t a situation for a second-round rookie QB to thrive. A 30-year-old Alvin Kamara can only do so much.

29. New York Giants

The Giants could surprise some people. Adding two veteran QBs — Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston — and drafting another (Jaxson Dart) raised their floor and ceiling. Malik Nabers is a true No. 1 WR, though the options behind him are shaky. RBs Tyrone Tracy and Cam Skattebo give New York two pass-catching options out of the backfield. The offensive line has been an issue for years. Their best pass protector — LT Andrew Thomas — hasn’t been able to stay on the field for the last two years. It’s better than what the Giants put on the field last year, but we’re still skeptical.

28. New England Patriots

Drake Maye showed promise once he gained the starting job, and even earned a Pro Bowl nod as an alternate. New England’s offseason plan was to surround Maye with enough talent. Their first four draft picks were used on offensive players. LSU’s Will Campbell will be a Day 1 starter on the offensive line. RB TreVeyon Henderson is a home-run hitter who is great in pass protection, and WR Kyle Williams should contribute early. Still, it’s a bottom-tier skill group and Maye still has plenty left to prove.

27. Carolina Panthers

The Panthers’ offense is trending up, which is better than where they were this time last year. Bryce Young responded well to last season’s benching. He returned to the field and showed more confidence and poise. Carolina has drafted several WRs with premium picks recently, but none more talented than this year’s No. 8 overall selection, Tet McMillan. The best position group on this offense is running back. They have two 1,000-yard rushers from last season — Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle — and used a fourth-round pick on Georgia’s Trevor Etienne.

26. New York Jets

The Jets were a major disappointment offensively last year, ranking 24th in points scored despite a roster stacked with name recognition. Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams are gone, and now the focus shifts back toward RB Breece Hall and WR Garrett Wilson as the “stars”. They’ve drafted tackles in the first round in back-to-back years in hopes of building a potent offensive line. Justin Fields is not as good of a QB as Rodgers, but his athleticism brings a different dynamic. At the very least, the Jets should field a potent ground attack built around Fields, Hall and Braelon Allen.

25. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars were dismal last year, ranking 26th in points and 25th in yards. It didn’t matter if it was Trevor Lawrence or Mac Jones under center, and that’s worrying for a QB who signed a $275 million extension. Rookie Brian Thomas Jr. was a lone bright spot last year, and the team doubled down on weapons for Lawrence by trading up for WR (and CB) Travis Hunter. HC Liam Coen was brought in to revamp the offense after one year as OC of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Perhaps he can get RB Travis Etienne Jr. back on track, too.

24. Pittsburgh Steelers

There is still some uncertainty around who will start under center for the Steelers in 2025. As of now, Mason Rudolph is listed, but that could change quickly. Aaron Rodgers has been linked to Pittsburgh for most of the offseason, and rumors heated up after the Steelers avoided drafting a QB until the sixth round (Will Howard). Whoever is under center will have two big-bodied targets in DK Metcalf and Pat Freiermuth. This is a young, powerful offensive line. Isaac Seumalo is the veteran of the group and was named a Pro Bowler last year. He starts alongside Zach Frazier (23), Broderick Jones (23), Troy Fautanu (24), and Mason McCormick (24).

23. Indianapolis Colts

The Colts are in a bit of a flux. Former No. 4 overall pick Anthony Richardson was expected to experiencedgrowing pains. Last season, he threw 8 TDs and 12 INTs and was benched for Joe Flacco. The team brought in Daniel Jones as competition, and the former Giant could push Richardson for the starting job. The best quarterback should earn the starting role and have a chance with a fairly strong supporting cast. The offensive line isn’t quite as elite as it was a few years ago, but RB Jonathan Taylor is coming an excellent year. A pass-catching group that includes WRs Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce added a premium TE to the mix with No. 14 pick Tyler Warren out of Penn State.

22. Atlanta Falcons

Michael Penix Jr. takes over in Atlanta after playing in five games last year. Falcons OC Zac Robinson will get a full offseason to build the offense around Penix’s skillset. The former Washington passer has a strong, accurate arm and can get the ball out quickly. They’ll lean heavily on RB Bijan Robinson and WR Drake London. Anything they get out of former No. 4 overall pick Kyle Pitts will be welcomed. Atlanta has spent several high draft picks to build up their offensive firepower. Now, the franchise has a young group that has the chance to grow together.

21. Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks had a massive shakeup this offseason after missing the postseason for the second year in a row. Geno Smith, DK Metcalf, and Tyler Lockett are all gone. Sam Darnold was signed in free agency, and Seattle spent a first-round pick on North Dakota State’s Grey Zabel in hopes of bolstering the interior of its offensive line. Darnold will look to WR Jaxson Smith-Njigba who is coming off a breakout campaign. They also added Cooper Kupp from the division rival Rams and 6-foot-4 speedster Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

20. Houston Texans

The Texans’ shaky regular season had little to do with their defense. It was a mediocre offense that ultimately kept them from being a true contender. Injuries certainly played a part, but C.J. Stroud looked out of sorts for much of the season. Former Rams assistant Nick Caley replaced Bobby Slowik as offensive coordinator. They added to the WR room by trading for Christian Kirk and drafting a pair of Sun Devils — Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. Stroud had one of the best rookie seasons for a QB in league history. We’ll see if the offseason changes can help him return to form.

19. Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys have had elite offenses previously, but this group looked listless last year. Even before Dak Prescott was ruled out for the season, Dallas failed to move the ball consistently. Spending high draft picks on offensive lineman seems to be their focus to get back into a elite status. To help Ceedee Lamb in the receiving corps, the team added George Pickens from the Steelers. That may help attract some defender’s attentions away from Lamb. As long as Prescott and Lamb are healthy, the Cowboys should be, at least, an average offensive team.

18. Chicago Bears

Can first-year HC Ben Johnson turn this thing around? The Bears were expected to field a high-powered offense last year led by a talented WR group and No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams. Instead, Chicago finished worse in scoring than it did the previous year. The Bears ranked 28th in points (18.2 PPG) and dead-last in yards. Johnson cultivated elite offenses in Detroit, but he doesn’t have quite the same level of personnel to work with in Chicago. Especially on the offensive line. DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet, and Luther Burden III are an exciting group of pass catchers, though.

17. Minnesota Vikings

How will J.J. McCarthy look in Minnesota’s offense? The 2024 first-round pick missed all of last year and watched as Sam Darnold led the Vikings to a 14-3 record. HC Kevin O’Connell runs a QB-friendly scheme which should allow McCarthy to find success early. The Vikings have one advantage over every team in the league in that they employ the best WR in football, Justin Jefferson. Teams overplaying to contain Jefferson can end up surrendering big plays to Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson, or Aaron Jones.

16. Miami Dolphins

It was just two years ago when the Dolphins scored 70 points in a game. While the roster has been widely unchanged since then, it’s obvious Miami has taken a step back. One could point to Jaylen Waddle’s stunted development as a potential cause. Waddle was expected to eventually take the mantle as WR1 from Tyreek Hill but finished third in receiving yards last season behind Hill and TE Jonnu Smith. Maybe defenses just got better at defending Miami’s speed across the field. Or, it’s simply a matter of QB Tua Tagovailoa’s health. When Tagovailoa returned from injury last season, the Dolphins averaged 26.1 PPG over his last nine starts. That would have ranked ninth in the NFL last year.

15. Las Vegas Raiders

The offense with the best chance to make a leap from where they were last season is the Las Vegas Raiders. Vegas was 29th in scoring in 2024 at 18.2 PPG. In the offseason, they added QB Geno Smith, RB Ashton Jeanty, and OC Chip Kelly to go with WR Jakobi Meyers and TE Brock Bowers. The offensive line is already quite good, and they made upgrades across the board. We have them ranked at No. 15, but wouldn’t be surprised if they fielded a top-10 group in 2025.

14. Arizona Cardinals

Arizona is great at running the football and has two promising playmakers in WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and TE Trey McBride. With teams not as prepared to defend the ground attack, the Cardinals can smashmouth their way to good offensive performances. However, their ceiling will be determined by seventh-year QB Kyler Murray. For the first time since 2020, Murray appeared in every game last year for Arizona. If he can continue to stay healthy and cut down the turnovers, the Cardinals will be a team to watch in 2025.

13. Denver Broncos

It only took two seasons for Sean Payton to field a top-10 offense in Denver. And, he did it with a rookie QB. The Broncos shocked everyone with a run to the playoffs last year. Bo Nix played as well as anybody could have hoped. And, they could be even better in 2025. They added electric RB R.J. Harvey and WR Pat Bryant in the draft. TE Evan Engram will be used all over the field. Outside of the Lions and Eagles, the Broncos may have the best offensive line in the league. Nix is set up for success in Year 2.

12. Los Angeles Chargers

Justin Herbert has shown that he can carry offenses on his own. In 2025, he’s not alone anymore. Ladd McConkey was sensational as a rookie. LA added Tre Harris from Ole Miss in the NFL Draft as an ideal complement next to McConkey. RB Omarion Hampton — LA’s first-round pick — will be an impact starter from Day 1. The former Tar Heel will be running behind a gigantic offensive line which added Mekhi Becton to boost the interior. Tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt are arguably the best duo in the NFL.

11. San Francisco 49ers

It was a down season for San Francisco’s usually elite offense. That was mostly due to injuries as Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, and Trent Williams all missed significant time. Deebo Samuel was traded to Washington, signaling a potential change in philosophy. One thing we know for certain, HC Kyle Shanahan is one of the brightest offensive minds in the league. Brock Purdy has proven capable when the team is healthy. Barring massive roster change (a McCaffrey trade?), the 49ers’ offense enters next year with one of the better outlooks.

10. Los Angeles Rams

Another NFC West contender, the Rams will be a Super Bowl contender if their offense is near the top-10. They finished just 20th in scoring last year, but 15th in points per drive. That number includes six missed games for WR Puka Nacua and five for Cooper Kupp. Kupp was replaced by Davante Adams in the offseason, and the former Packer/Raider/Jet is clearly the better player of the two at this point in their careers. Matthew Stafford just turned 37 years old but has shown that he’s still one of the best gunslingers in the game. HC Sean McVay has always been able to craft offenses around his personnel. This year should be no different.

9. Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs’ offense has something to prove in 2025. Patrick Mahomes is coming off two pedestrian regular seasons. It didn’t matter two years ago when the Chiefs went on to win the Super Bowl, but they were completely stifled (until the game was out of reach) in Super Bowl LIX three months ago. They’ve finished 15th in scoring in back-to-back seasons. They never finished below sixth in the five years with Mahomes before that. If healthy, the WR room — which features Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, Rashee Rice, and Jalen Royals — should be the best Mahomes has had in quite some time. Travis Kelce is no longer the league’s best TE, but he still caught 97 passes. HC Andy Reid has evolved throughout his career. We’ll see if he has a few more tricks up his sleeve.

8. Green Bay Packers

Green Bay’s offense is a sleeping giant. They finished 12th in scoring during Jordan Love’s first season in ’23 and were 8th last year. We could see another bump in 2025. The Packers finally used a first-round pick on a WR to select Texas’ Matthew Golden. Golden adds another speed option to open up the field for QB Jordan Love. With teams worried about Green Bay’s passing attack, Josh Jacobs will feast on the ground. The Packers’ offensive line is solid across the board, and Jacobs is one of the best all-around runners in football. If everything clicks together, we could see Love making an MVP push.

7. Washington Commanders

Sans a Super Bowl win, it’s hard to envision Jayden Daniels’ rookie season going much better than it did. The 2023 Heisman Trophy winner led one of the best offenses in football and was stellar during Washington’s shocking postseason run. The Commanders scored 45 points in the Divisional Round to knock off the No. 1 seed Detroit Lions. Daniels was spraying the ball all over the field, and the Lions had no answer. OC Kliff Kingsbury has perfectly tailored the game plan around Daniels’ skillset. He’s extremely accurate, has great touch downfield, and can burn defenses as a runner. Adding Deebo Samuel to the mix gives Washington another weapon it can deploy in several ways.

6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers scored 500 points last year for just the second time in franchise history. QB Baker Mayfield had a season to remember, throwing for 4,500 yards and 41 TDs. There isn’t a more consistent wideout in football than Mike Evans who is coming off an 11th straight 1,000-yard season. RB Bucky Irving emerged as a star out of Oregon, rushing for 1,122 yards in Year 2. Tampa Bay finished fourth in scoring and third in yards despite WR Chris Godwin missing over half the season. They’ll get him back in 2025, plus Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka who they selected 19th overall in last month’s NFL Draft. OT Tristan Wirfs was named to the All-Pro First-Team, and has likely taken the mantle from Trent Williams as the best left tackle in the league.

5. Cincinnati Bengals

Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins. The Bengals invested in their three offensive stars with massive extensions and are hoping that can carry them back into the postseason. It nearly did last year. Despite having the No. 25 scoring defense in football, the Bengals finished 9-8 thanks to an elite offensive attack. Burrow enjoyed the best year of his career, leading the league in completions (460), yards (4,918), and touchdowns (43). Chase was the league’s most productive wideout and won the Triple Crown (127 receptions, 1,708 yards, and 17 TDs). Higgins is the best WR2 in the league, recording 911 yards and 10 TDs in just 12 games.

4. Detroit Lions

The Lions have no clear weakness on the offensive side of the ball. Their offensive line is the best in football. The running back tandem of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery is elite. Not only do they have talented pass catchers, but it’s a group that has complementary skillsets. And, Jared Goff has developed into a great QB who can put up big numbers. Losing OC Ben Johnson to the Bears is tough, but the roster talent isn’t going anywhere.

3. Philadelphia Eagles

The defending champions have the most stacked roster in football. Offensively, Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and an elite offensive line is enough to be a top-5 group every year. They finished seventh in scoring last year but came on strong over the second half of the season. Hurts has continued to shut down critics and always seems to play his best when the lights are brightest.

2. Buffalo Bills

The reigning league MVP leads one of the most potent offenses in football. Josh Allen has been a one-man show in the past. In 2024, he cleaned up many of the issues that had plagued him throughout his career. The Bills ranked first in giveaways as Allen threw a career-low six INTs. He’s learned when to pull back and take what the defense gives him. As he continues to develop, the young Bills nucleus steadily improves. RB James Cook is coming off a 1,000-yard season and leading receiver Khalil Shakir has established himself as a go-to option.

1. Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens were elite offensively last year by every metric. They moved the ball with ease, were excellent in the red zone, and rarely turned it over. Lamar Jackson was arguably at his best in 2024, throwing 41 TDs and only four INTs. Derrick Henry nearly ran for 2,000 yards. It’s a wide receiver group that doesn’t have a true elite talent, but Zay Flowers earned his first career Pro Bowl nod last season. Teams are never going to find a great way to slow down an offense featuring Jackson and Henry. They will be dominant once again in 2025.
