Since quarterback Josh Allen’s breakout season in 2020, the Bills have finished no worse than sixth in points scored and 10th in yards. Despite the loss of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis last season, Buffalo’s offense didn’t skip a beat as the second-most potent in points scored. They’ve continued to revamp the wide receiver room, adding Joshua Palmer and Elijah Moore to Khalil Shakir and 2024 draftee Keon Coleman. James Cook made his second Pro Bowl at running back last year, while the tight end duo of Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid has been excellent. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady has become a popular name in head coaching interviews, with his ascent seeming inevitable.

Detroit has finished in the top five in points over the last three seasons, peaking at No. 1 last year. The primary personnel from recent seasons remains intact heading into 2025, including quarterback Jared Goff, running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, wideouts Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, and tight end Sam LaPorta. However, the interior of the offensive line has taken a hit, and the loss of prized offensive coordinator Ben Johnson could be a huge blow.

Lamar Jackson came just short of winning his third NFL MVP last season, as an already elite running game was taken to the next level with the addition of Derrick Henry. The future Hall of Famer helped Baltimore finish third in points and first in yards, as he rushed for more than 1,900 yards. Zay Flowers continues to come into his own as a No. 1 receiver, while Rashod Bateman is also capable when healthy. The Ravens added more veteran leadership with DeAndre Hopkins, and tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely are capable of big performances.

The Eagles offense has usually been balanced under head coach Nick Sirianni, but never more so than last season following the addition of Saquon Barkley. The star running back had a career year with more than 2,000 yards rushing, making up for the occasional passing struggles from Jalen Hurts. A.J. Brown struggled to get into rhythm with Hurts at times last season but still managed more than 1,000 yards, while DeVonta Smith remained a great deep threat when healthy. Dallas Goedert has also been an excellent option for crucial catches when healthy. The offensive line has also withstood losses in recent seasons, most notably Jason Kelce, to remain an elite unit. The continued turnover at offensive coordinator is a concern, but not something that has stopped the Eagles to date.

The pressure was on Joe Burrow and company last season with a defense that faceplanted. They couldn’t do enough to lead the team back to the playoffs, but still finished sixth in points with a vertical offense. Ja’Marr Chase remains arguably the top wideout in the game, while Tee Higgins is an elite No. 2 option. Chase Brown also stepped up nicely as the starting running back after Joe Mixon departed. Cincy made changes on defense during the offseason, but Burrow and company will still be relied upon to lead the team.

For all the hoopla, the Cowboys offense ranked tops in the league twice in three years before faceplanting last year due to injuries. The promotion of Brian Schottenheimer to the head coaching job drew some criticism, but the talent is certainly there for a bounce-back campaign. Dak Prescott should be fully healthy entering training camp, and the Cowboys acquired big-play George Pickens to join CeeDee Lamb. The running back room is also new, led by Javonte Williams, and the offensive line was addressed with first-round pick Tyler Booker.

What a difference a quarterback can make. Jayden Daniels had an immediate impact in his rookie season, helping improve the Commanders offense 20 spots in points scored from 25th to fifth. The coaching changes, particularly the hiring of coordinator Kliff Kingsbury also played a role in the more creative offense. The team has made an effort to maintain momentum, acquiring Deebo Samuel and left tackle Laremy Tunsil, among others, alongside Terry McLaurin, Brian Robinson, Austin Ekeler, and Zach Ertz.

The Chiefs reached yet another Super Bowl last season, yet their offense was mediocre for the second straight year, ranking 15th in points. The offensive line had its fair share of issues, and injuries to the wideout rate ravaged the team’s big-play ability. The Chiefs addressed the offensive line by drafting tackle Josh Simmons, and they hope for better health from the wideouts so that Patrick Mahomes can unleash big numbers again. A likely suspension for Rashee Rice due to off-field issues does make the unit’s upside murkier.

San Francisco was an elite offense in Brock Purdy’s first year as a starter, but injuries to Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk helped sink the unit last season. The 49ers planned ahead for the loss of Deebo Samuel this offseason, drafting Ricky Pearsall last year, but need better health from McCaffrey and continued elite play from tight end George Kittle to fully rebound to their former heights.

In spite of Jordan Love’s perceived regression last season, the Packers offense improved four spots to eighth in spots scored. The addition of running back Josh Jacobs was a big reason, and the team has even more weapons after drafting wideouts Matthew Golden and Savion Williams. More consistency from Love could enable Green Bay to join the league’s elite offenses.

Even as the Chargers lost significant talent last offseason, they improved 10 spots in points to 11th with Greg Roman’s run-heavy offense. Justin Herbert quickly found a new No. 1 wideout with rookie Ladd McConkey, and the team added tight end Tyler Conklin and second-round rookie Tre Harris. There’s still no mystery about the team’s focus on the running game, however, after the Chargers signed Najee Harris and drafted Omarion Hampton in the first round.

The Bucs offense was one of the biggest surprises of 2024, improving from 20th to fourth in points scored as Baker Mayfield continued to prove doubters wrong. The arrival of rookie Bucky Irving had a big impact in the backfield, and the wide receiver room looks even better this season with first-round pick Emeka Egbuka and a healthy Chris Godwin joining the consistent Mike Evans. One major area of the concern is offensive coordinator, as the team is set to have their fourth coach in four years after Liam Coen left for Jacksonville.

The Vikings were the biggest surprise of 2024, showing vast improvement offensively with backup plan Sam Darnold under center. Long-term quarterback J.J. McCarthy is back from a knee injury to run the show, and still has an excellent supporting cast led by Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson, and Aaron Jones. The interior of the offensive line is also revamped with three new starters, including first-round pick Donovan Jackson.

The regression of Houston’s offense in C.J. Stroud’s second season was a major disappointment. Wideouts injuries were part of the issue, but the offensive line also buckled. The line has been rebuilt on the left side, and wideout room saw big changes with Christian Kirk and draftees Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel joining Nico Collins. Joe Mixon was an excellent addition to the offense last season, and gives new coordinator Nick Caley the ability to mix up play calling. 

Head coach Sean McVay’s offensive genius wasn’t lost on the unit last season. Despite finishing 20th in points during the regular season, the offense performed better down the stretch when they got healthy. They’re committed to one more run with Matthew Stafford, signing Davante Adams to replace Cooper Kupp and hoping for better health from Puka Nacua. Running back Kyren Williams also proved his 2023 wasn’t a fluke, with nearly 1,300 yards rushing last season.

Sean Payton’s vision of the Broncos offense started to come to fruition last season with a strong rookie campaign from Bo Nix. The team worked to add more talent around him this offseason, namely tight end Evan Engram and second-round running back R.J. Harvey. Nix has already started to get comfortable with the wide receiver trio of Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr., and Devaughn Vele.

A middle-of-the-road offense with Geno Smith under center wasn’t good enough for the Seahawks to progress, so they moved on and gave Sam Darnold big money. A new quarterback was also convenient timing to change the wideout room, with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett departing. Seattle added Cooper Kupp to join young star Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and shored up the offensive line with first-round pick Grey Zabel. The backfield should be a strong crutch for Darnold, as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet have shown explosiveness.

Caleb Williams’ rookie season was a relative disappointment, with the team winning only five games while he routinely ran for his life. The Bears couldn’t have done much more this offseason to help him, headlined by the hiring of former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Chicago also completely revamped their interior offensive line, including All-Pro Joe Thuney, and added second-round wideout Luther Burden to D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze. No offense in the league has more expectations for improvement.

A fully healthy Kyler Murray helped the Cardinals’ offense get back on track last season, ranking 12th in points and 11th in yards. The dynamic quarterback still wasn’t quite comfortable with rookie Marvin Harrison Jr., which will hopefully change this season. Tight end Trey McBride has become a reliable target, while the running back duo of James Conner and Trey Benson is developing nicely.

We saw what the Dolphins offense could be when Tua Tagovailoa was healthy in 2023, ranking second in points and first in yards, but injuries to Tua and much of his supporting cast doomed the team last year. Just as crucial as Tagovailoa’s health this season will be the status of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Both wideouts were seemingly banged up last season. The Dolphins signed tight end Darren Waller out of retirement to help, and De’Von Achane continued to show off his blazing speed in the backfield.

A stagnant offense caused the Jaguars to make more big changes, firing Doug Pederson and hiring young offensive mind Liam Coen. He will attempt to find the upside many saw in Trevor Lawrence when he was drafted first overall in 2021. Also, of assistance will be first-round pick Travis Hunter and free agent signing Dynami Brown, joining Brian Thomas Jr. and running back Travis Etienne. The elements are there for a quick turnaround if Coen can work some of the same magic that he did last season in Tampa Bay.

The Falcons saw vast changes on offense last season, signing Kirk Cousins before giving way to rookie Michael Penix Jr. Penix had issues with his accuracy when he saw the field, but the team appears optimistic in his development. One reason is his strong supporting cast, with Bijan Robinson, Drake London, Darnell Mooney, and Kyle Pitts, and the offense scored at least 24 points in each of his three starts.

The Steelers’ offense has been used to mediocre quarterback play since late in Ben Roethlisberger’s career. For 2025, they’ve decided to go all-in with 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers. The weapons around the quarterback are also very different, as the team got rid of George Pickens and Najee Harris, but have added DK Metcalf, Robert Woods, Jonnu Smith, and rookie Kaleb Johnson. The thought is that even an average offense will make the Steelers a contender alongside their elite defense, but anyone who truly knows how this unit will perform this season with all the new faces is lying.

It’s unclear how the Raiders were expected to succeed last season without a true starting quarterback. After scoring the fourth-fewest points in the league last season, they added Geno Smith, reuniting him with former Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. He will operate under veteran offensive mind Chip Kelly, and has two blue-chip weapons in tight end Brock Bowers and rookie running back Ashton Jeanty. The wide receivers are a work in progress behind Jakobi Meyers, however.

The Patriots loved what they saw from Drake Maye in his rookie season, but he didn’t have much help. The team’s shortcomings have been addressed, with Mike Vrabel leading the team, three new offensive line starters, and new weapons Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and TreVeyon Henderson. New coordinator Josh McDaniels’ offense isn’t one that a young quarterback can pick up overnight, though we should expect progress throughout the 2025 season.

Carolina hired Dave Canales to get Bryce Young’s career on track, and he seemed to do the job after a slow start last season. The team has still struggled to add weapons for Young due to a lack of draft capital, but they hope back-to-back first-round picks Xavier Legette and Tetairoa McMillan will mesh well in the developing passing game. Running back Chuba Hubbard has also come into his own as the starting running back, rushing for nearly 1,200 yards last season.

The Colts finished 17th in points scored last season, but it was another disappointing season from first-round pick Anthony Richardson under center. The team added former Giant Daniel Jones to challenge him. The winner of the competition has a lot to work with, as the wideout room is highly capable, led by Michael Pittman Jr., and Jonathan Taylor remains productive in the backfield. First-round tight end Tyler Warren also brings upside as a pass catcher.

Head coach Brian Callahan is entering only his second season, but the clock is ticking with a new GM and first overall draft choice Cameron Ward. We should expect hiccups from the rookie quarterback, but he undoubtedly has the physical tools to succeed. Tennessee added Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson to help him, joining No. 1 wideout Calvin Ridley, while the offensive line will also have at least two new starters.

The Giants enter an odd situation in 2025, with the backs of GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll against the wall. The offense is set up to fail unless first-round pick Jaxson Dart upstages veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. A healthy offensive line would go a long way in turning the offense around, and they have capable weapons with young players like Tyrone Tracy, Malik Nabers, and Wan’Dale Robinson.

The failures of the Aaron Rodgers era prompted the Jets to go in another direction, signing young, mobile quarterback Justin Fields to lead the team. He has a wealth of strong talents, including running back Breece Hall and wide receiver Garrett Wilson. The team also added help on the offensive line with first-round pick Armand Membou.

The mess created by Deshaun Watson’s failure to perform continues to impact the Browns, who are likely hoping rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders can outplay Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. The team has a strong group of receivers to work with, led by Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku, while second-round back Quinshon Judkins is set to challenge Jerome Ford for starting duties.

The Saints’ offense fell to 24th in points scored last season, and the plunge could go even further following Derek Carr’s retirement. Second-round rookie Tyler Shough is the favorite to start under center, but his upside remains to be seen. The return of Chris Olave from injury should help, and running back Alvin Kamara remains extremely productive.
