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 puts butts in seats and draws monster ratings on television.
With the 2025 season finally here, let’s take a look at who the best and worst NFL offenses are heading into Week 1 of the new season.
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, smart play, and a balanced attack. It is why the QB one his first MVP award in 2024. All of the pieces from last season are back this year, and they are sure to get off to a quick start in 2025.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ adding Saquon Barkley last year proved to be a paradigm shift moment in the NFC. The former Giants star delivered an MVP-caliber season in his debut and gave them one of the most balanced units in the league. There is no reason not to expect them to be elite again in 2025.
While they weren’t sharp in Week 1, the unit still made the plays they needed to and posted 24 points in their season-opening win over rivals the Cowboys.
Despite QB guru Dave Canales heading to Carolina before last 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. Bucky Irving proved he is a premium RB 1 in the league, and they will have veteran receiver Chris Godwin back. It is why they are an early dark horse to reach the Super Bowl this season.
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 biggest loss this offseason came on the sidelines after offensive coordinator Ben Johnson became the new head coach of the Bears. The biggest story on offense this season will be if new OC John Morton can maintain the standard set by Johnson.
Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals’ offense were seriously hampered...
