With Week 5 of the 2025 NFL season in the books, now is the perfect time to reevaluate which offenses are surging and which are in serious trouble. With that in mind, get a look at our new NFL offense rankings for Week 6.
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, many wondered if they could maintain that elite play without former OC Ben Johnson.
In 2025, Detroit’s offense continues to chug along as the best in the game. On Sunday, they continued their impressive play with a 37-point showing against the Bengals. In Week 5, they didn’t need a 300-yard performance from Jared Goff because they got 118 yards on the ground from two running backs, and they made Cincy pay for their three turnovers. Detroit remains the top-scoring team in the league (34.8 PPG).
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 won his first MVP award. All of the pieces from last season are back this year, and they should be very good again.
On Sunday, the unit that was scoring 33.3 PPG was surprisingly held to just 20 points. They slowed down James Cook, and he only ran for 49 yards, and they didn’t let Allen dominate through the air. It was the first time this season that Buffalo’s offense was forced to look average.
If Matthew Stafford’s back doesn’t end his season early, the Los Angeles Rams offense can be one of the best units in the NFL again because of the strong skill players they have in Puca Nacua, Davante Adams, and Kyren Williams.
In Week 5, LA’s offense played well, and their QB tossed for nearly 400 yards and three TDs. However, despite a pair of 80-plus yard days from Adams and Nacua, two fumbles cost the offense points and win against rivals the 49ers on Sunday.
Baker Mayfield’s career renaissance with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has been one of the best stories in football over the last two years. However, running back Bucky Irving added balance to the offense last season, and it is part of why this unit is one of the best in the game.
Despite not having Mike Evans and Irving, the Bucs offense still posted 38 points in a huge shootout win in Week 5. Mayfield hit on 29 of 33 passes (Amazing) for 379 yards and 2 TDs. But the big story was rookie Emeka Egbuka reeling in 163 yards and a TD on just seven catches. Tampa may have the 2025 offensive rookie of the year.
