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 underway, let’s take a look at who the best and worst NFL offenses are heading into Week 4 of the season.
The Cleveland Browns’ offense begins 2025 without a couple of major pieces. Gone is Nick Chubb, and Deshaun Watson is still rehabbing his torn Achilles tendon. In their place are greybeard Joe Flacco and rookie Quinshon Judkins. While they added Jerry Jeudy, this offense is not expected to do a lot in the new season.
In Week 3, the Browns got the win, but it was not because of the offense. Flacco struggled and hit on just 21 of his 36 passes for no TDs and one INT. The lone bright spot on Sunday was Judkins looking good in his second NFL game as he posted 94 yards and a TD on just 18 carries.
Despite some high expectations after adding Joe Mixon and Stefon Diggs last year, the Houston Texans‘ offense never really reached its potential during the 2024 season as CJ Stroud battled through a surprise sophomore slump. If he can’t return to the player he looked like in 2023, it will lead to a big shift in how good the Texans are projected to be in the years ahead.
So far, not so good, and Week 3 was another example of that. On Sunday, Stroud managed just over 200 yards and 1 TD to 2 INTs against the Jaguars. Their offensive line play continues to be an issue, as the QB was sacked twice and hit six more times as he was hounded all day.
Despite speculation that rookie Tyler Shough would win the starting QB job, the New Orleans Saints begin the year with 2024 fifth-rounder Spencer Rattler back under center for new head coach Kellen Moore. With an offensive-minded coach and solid weapons in Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave, the NO offense, hopefully, should be better.
After a solid performance in Week 2, the Saints’ offense was held in check this weekend. The unit scored only 13 points as the run game posted just 79 total yards, and Chris Olave led with 57 receiving yards on 10 catches. They just kept hitting a wall in the Seahawks’ defense on Sunday.
The New York Giants’ offense has two outstanding players in Malik Nabers and Andrew Thomas. However, the rest of the unit leaves something to be desired. With head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka in a...
