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. However, quite a few units are lagging behind their contemporaries when it comes to putting up points and racking up hundreds of yards each week. So, who has the hardest-to-watch offense in the league right now? Find out with our list of the 10 worst NFL offenses heading into Week 2.
The Seattle Seahawks’ offense was a solid group in 2024. That should still be the case this year with Sam Darnold under center. Stud receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the undisputed No. 1 and will be backed up by former Pro Bowler Cooper Kupp. While they may not be a dominant group, the Seattle offense can’t be slept on in 2025.
However, Week 1 was not a showcase of their potential. Darnold only threw for 150 yards, and the run game offered little in a 13-point performance on Sunday. The lone bright spot in the loss against San Francisco was JSN and the 124 receiving yards he tallied.
The Chicago Bears’ offense looked good early in 2024 but went into a steady decline for the rest of the season. With concerns they might have ruined last year’s top pick, Caleb Williams, the front office bolstered the unit by making some big O-line additions (Drew Dalman, Jonah Jackson, and Joe Thuney). Furthermore, they got him another weapon in the pass game with first-round tight end Colston Loveland, and new head coach Ben Johnson is expected to make a big difference.
However, the changes did not lead to a fast start for the Chicago offense in Week 1. While they posted 24 against the Vikings, they could have had far more, and Williams missed on several big passes late in their loss. There will be a learning curve for Williams in the new offense, and that showed on Monday night.
The Arizona Cardinals’ offense has the pieces to be a pretty good unit. The big question is, will everything come together for them in 2025? Trey McBride had a breakthrough season, but unfortunately, last year’s top pick, Marvin Harrison Jr., disappointed. They have a rock-solid RB, and Kyler Murray is a Pro Bowler when he is right. The Cards need to show life this season, or this unit will get broken up after the year.
It wasn’t pretty, but the Cards’ offense posted 20, and it was enough for a Week 1 victory versus the Saints. Murray only had 169 yards through the air, but he did chip in with another 38 on the ground on a day when he was added to the injury report due to an illness.
