The NFL is the most popular sport in America, and a big reason why is because of the offenses. The aerial displays and ground assaults are what bring in tens of millions of viewers each week. But which units are the best of the best right now? We look to answer that question with our list of the 10 best NFL offenses heading into Week 2.
Top pick and Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels was everything the Washington Commanders’ offense could have hoped for and more in 2024. The young star was a huge reason they were on the cusp of a Super Bowl appearance. Now with Deebo Samuel as another weapon and Terry McLaurin happy following a big pay bump, Washington is primed to be a top-five offense in 2025.
The Commanders faced a rock-solid defense from the Giants in Week 1 and got some solid resistance. Scoring just 21 points, as the New York pass rush made things tough for Daniels. However, it was still enough to get the W. Rookie seventh round pick Jacory Croskey-Merritt, posting 82 yards on just 10 carries, was a promising added bright spot.

The defending champion Kansas City Chiefs’ offense wasn’t the dominant force fans were accustomed to in 2024. But there is reason to expect a turnaround this season. Travis Kelce and Hollywood Brown are back. They added tackle Jaylon Moore and top draft pick — another tackle — Josh Simmons. Plus, big things are expected from Rashee Rice (after his return from suspension) and Xavier Worthy (when healthy) in 2025.
But KC didn’t have either receiver in Week 1 and struggled at times. While Patrick Mahomes tallied 315 total yards (57 yards and one TD) on the ground, it wasn’t enough to help keep pace with a Chargers offense that was ahead of them to start the year.

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals’ offense were seriously hampered by injuries and the lack of a reliable run game last season. In the offseason, they gave both Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins huge extensions to lock in what should be one of the best passing attacks in the league (when healthy).
Despite the talent in the passing game, the Bengals’ offense was held in check in Week 1 as Burrow was hounded by the Browns’ pass rush. He managed just 113 passing yards, and they managed just 17 points on Sunday. Luckily, it was enough to get the W.

The Detroit Lions’ offense was the cream of the crop for much of last season. They could throw over teams but also bludgeon them with a solid run game. However, their most notable loss this offseason came on...
