The NFL offense rankings are the glamour list of the top football league in the world. While laying the smackdown on defense is great, scoring with the rock is the name of the game. The top squads in Sportsnaut’s NFL defense rankings may help determine who wins a championship to some, but the offense is what fills the stadiums and draws huge TV ratings.
With the 2025 season drawing closer, let’s take a look at who the best and worst NFL offenses are right now following Week 1 of the preseason.
The Baltimore Ravens‘ offense was one of the league’s elites last season. They delivered a balanced attack led by 2024 MVP Lamar Jackson and backed by future Hall-of-Fame running back Derrick Henry. They will bring all the key pieces of the unit back in 2025 and add former Texans great DeAndre Hopkins. The big concern will be if Henry declines at all in year 10.
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills‘ offense were one of the best in the league all of last season by using a total team effort and smart play. Early in the campaign, they were doing just enough to score a boatload of wins. However, in the second half, the Bills’ O caught fire. Scoring 40 or more in three of their games. While they came up short in the AFC championship again, the reigning MVP and the Bills are expected to again be among the elite groups in 2025.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ offense was not as dominant as expected early in the year after star receiver AJ Brown missed several games. However, once the talented pass catcher returned, the unit turned into a force in the NFC. However, while the passing attack deserves respect, the play of MVP candidate Saquon Barkley was why the Eagles’ O was a huge part of their run to a Super Bowl title in February. There is no reason not to expect them to be among the NFL’s best offenses again next season.
The Detroit Lions’ offense was the cream of the crop last season. They could throw over teams but also bludgeon them with a solid run game. However, their biggest loss this offseason came on the sidelines after offensive coordinator Ben Johnson became the new head coach of the Bears. They have all the pieces to remain the best offense in the NFL next season. But new OC John Morton has some huge shoes to fill.
Despite QB guru Dave Canales heading to Carolina before the season, Baker Mayfield’s magic with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers remained in 2024. And the offense was one of the better units in the league for much of the season. Most of their offseason moves were on defense. However, they will have veteran receiver Chris Godwin back in 2025, and the unit has many seeing them as a dark horse in...
