With another week of the NFL season in the books, fans and bettors have a better picture of just what each offense may look like this season. Of course, how they play will change as injuries pile up, defenses focus on certain players, and according to how players and schemes evolve.

Some will get better. Some will get worse. But many will remain relatively the same.

Each week, we will rank all 32 NFL offenses according to how they have performed and how we think they’ll continue to perform. They are subject to change from one week to the next and will not necessarily be based on statistical production.

Also, check out our weekly updated NFL Defense Rankings.

Here are our rankings for all 32 NFL passing offenses:

Ranking All 32 NFL Offenses

Defense may win championships, but if your offense can’t win games, your defense will never make it to a title game. Last season, two of the top three offenses (total yards) played in a conference championship game; only one of the top five defenses (total yards) made it to one.

Here is how we rank the NFL’s 32 offenses through Week 11:  

1. Detroit Lions (up 1)

I expected the Lions would run wild over the Jaguars, which they did for nearly 200 yards and three touchdowns, but I didn’t see Jared Goff going off for 400+ yards and four touchdowns. They’ve been one of the best offenses all season. After a performance like that, they are the best.

  • Next Game: @ Colts, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

2. Buffalo Bills (up 2)

The Bills have had some ugly offensive performances this season, but they have been getting better and better as the season goes on. The run game, outside of Josh Allen, was disappointing. But is playing masterful football in recent weeks, and is now the betting favorite to win MVP at several sportsbooks.

  • Next Game: vs. 49era, Sunday, Dec. 1 @ 8:20 p.m. ET

3. Cincinnati Bengals (up 4)

It may seem odd to move a team up that lost, but Joe Burrow has the Bengals offense humming—especially in the passing game. He may not win many games for the Bengals, but Burrow is going to take a few fantasy football teams to their championship games. If only the Bengals defense could help him out a little more…

  • Next Game: vs. Steelers, Sunday, Dec. 1 @ 1 p.m. ET

4. Baltimore Ravens (down 3)

The Steelers absolutely shut this offense down. They made Derrick Henry work for the 65 yards he gained. Pittsburgh’s D also did a good job of making Lamar Jackson throw when he wasn’t quite ready, hence his first sub-50% completion rate of the season.

It definitely appears that the Steelers have the formula for beating Jackson and the Ravens. Baltimore may want to figure out something new before the rest of the league does, too.

  • Next Game: @ Chargers, Monday, Nov. 25 @ 8:15 p.m. ET

5. Philadelphia Eagles (up 5)

In Saquon Barkley, the Eagles trust! Jalen Hurts had a solid game, as well. But the fate of the Eagles does not lie with their quarterback; it lies with the best free agent acquisition of the offseason in Barkley.  With 146 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns, Barkley carried Philly to a win in this one.

He’s not getting much attention for MVP, but he absolutely should.

  • Next Game: @ Rams, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 8:20 p.m. ET.

6. Washington Commanders (down 3)

Jayden Daniels and the Commanders’ offense were humming right along in the first half of the season, but neither has been terribly effective in recent weeks. It certainly wasn’t against the Eagles in Week 11, as Daniels had only 191 yards in the passing game, and the rushing attack was held to 93 yards on 28 touches.

  • Next Game: vs. Cowboys, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

7. San Francisco 49ers (down 2)

They got a boost from the return of CMC last week, but the 49ers offense was somewhat pedestrian. McCaffrey was relatively contained in the run game with an average of 4.2 yards per carry and a long of 11 yards. Purdy seemed to rely a little heavily on check downs, hence just 159 yards on 21 completions

  • Next Game: @ Packers, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 4:25 p.m. ET.

8. Kansas City Chiefs (down 1)

Typically, the Chiefs find some way to overcome whatever the issue is to find a way to win, but not this time. Where in the world did Travis Kelce go? He leads the team in receiving but often seems to go forgotten in the Chiefs offense. With two catches for eight yards, he was overlooked vs. the Bills.

  • Next Game: @ Panthers, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET 

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (same)

The overall production of the offense has suffered in the last couple of weeks, with both Chris Godwin and Mike Evans out. But Evans has returned to practice ahead of Week 12’s game against the New York Giants. His return could be crucial to beating a poor Giants team that just benched its QB.

  • Next Game: @ Giants, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

10. Pittsburgh Steelers (up 3)

The stats were certainly not impressive against the league’s worst pass defense. But the Steelers offense has become quite adept at figuring out how to make it work. While getting in the endzone is always the preferred outcome for a drive, sometimes six field goals are enough to get the job done.

  • Next Game: @ Browns, Thursday, Nov. 24 @ 8:15 p.m.

11. Arizona Cardinals (same)

The Cardinals are coming off a bye week, so they’ll be well-rested and as healthy as they can be at this stage of the season. If Kyler Murray and James Conner can remain healthy and in the lineup, they could become one of the NFC’s top contenders come playoff time.

  • Next Game: @ Seahawks, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

12. Los Angeles Chargers (up 3)

Completing less than 50% of his passes is not ideal, but 297 yards and two touchdowns is nothing to shake a stick at. It is starting to seem as if Jim Harbaugh is willing to make the most of his young, star quarterback’s talents via the passing game—and he doesn’t have to abandon the run! But they have a tough one on deck this week in the Philadelphia Eagles.

  • Next Game: vs. Eagles, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 8:20 p.m. ET

13. Green Bay Packers (down 1)

I know it’s a rival, and the game was on their field, but the Packers should have had a much better game against a dreadful Bears team. Love played a solid, effective, and efficient game. Where has Christian Watson been hiding? A similar game will not be enough to beat the 49ers' defense this week.

  • Next Game:  vs. 49ers, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 4:25 p.m. ET

14. Atlanta Falcons (down 6)

Kirk Cousins will catch some much-deserved flak for this loss,  but it isn’t all on him.  The offense just isn’t working. The offensive line, skill position guys, and Cousins need to take a step back and figure out what they are doing wrong and how they can improve during their bye week.

  • Next Game: vs. Chargers, Sunday, Dec. 1 @ 1 p.m. ET

15. Houston Texans (up2 )

Welcome back, Nico Collins! The passing game definitely benefited by having him back, but this offense is going to live and die by what Joe Mixon does in the passing game. However, if the Texans are to win in the wild-card round even, they need to figure out what goes wrong with the offense in the second half.

The second half has been when offenses are blowing the Cowboys out of the water, but that didn’t happen. The Texans finally got a second-half touchdown, but it took too long against an epically bad second-half defense.

  • Next Game: vs. Titans, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

16. Seattle Seahawks (same)

This wasn’t the best offensive performance for the Seahawks. The passing game has been much more productive; Geno Smith threw for 312 yards in the loss to the 49ers earlier in the season. But the run game was almost non-existent then. It was better this time, but it needs to improve.

  • Next Game: vs. Cardinals, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 4:25 p.m. ET

17. Minnesota Vikings (down 3)

How can a team win by ten and move down three slots? Because they should have won by more. The Titans' defense has been stingy with yards all season but generous with points. The Vikings should have been better, especially in the run game. It definitely will not get easier next week against the Bears' defense.

  • Next Game: @ Bears, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

18. Miami Dolphins (same)

This game was undoubtedly one of the best offensive performances by the Dolphins this season. Tua was on point in the passing game, although I would have liked to see more throws downfield to Tyreek Hill. De’Von Achane needs to get 20+ touches per game.

They didn’t move up because other teams deserved the spots immediately in front of them, but if they have a good week against the Pats…

  • Next Game: vs. Patriots, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

19. Los Angeles Rams (same)

A healthy Rams offense is going to be dangerous down the stretch. It wasn’t bad without Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, but it is certainly much, much better with them. Kyren Williams is the perfect running back for this system, and Blake Corum is an excellent compliment to him.  However, they have a tough test ahead with a date with the Eagles' defense this week.

  • Next Game: vs. Eagles, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 8:20 p.m. ET

20. Denver Broncos (up 1)

The Broncos have been collecting good receivers for the last few years, and it appears that they may finally have a quarterback who can get the ball to these guys. Bo Nix had a slow start to the season, but he’s been coming on strong the last few weeks.

The only thing the Broncos need now is a lead running back; their committee is good, but for the Broncos offense to go to the next level, they need one.

  • Next Game: @ Raiders, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 4:05 p.m. ET

21. New Orleans Saints (up 3)

What’s amazing about the Saints this week is that their best player, Alvin Kamara, had a mediocre week. But games like this are why Taysom Hill has been in the NFL as long as he has been without a definite position. If Derek Carr can connect with his receivers like this (21-27 for 248 yards and two touchdowns) with some regularity, the Saints will be tough to beat.

  • Next Game:  vs. Rams, Sunday, Dec. 1 @ 4:05 p.m. ET

22. Chicago Bears (up 1) 

What a difference a different offensive coordinator can make! Thomas Brown did a great job making use of his players’ talents and skills. It’s just a shame that one of the best offensive games the Bears have had this season ended with a loss. But at least the team should be more entertaining going forward.

  • Next Game:  vs. Vikings, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

23. Indianapolis Colts (up 2)

It was a solid return performance for Anthony Richardson against a good Jets defense that may have already given up with how their season has been going. The run game was lacking, but I’m not sure if the Jets' front seven deserves the credit or poor blocking.

  • Next Game: vs. Lions, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

24. New England Patriots (down 4)

I’m a Drake Maye fan, but it is hard to say what the identity of the Jets' defense is. Maye could be the next great passing quarterback, but at this stage of his career he needs guys that can help him be better and not guys relying on him to make them better. The run game is effective when the Pats go all in on it; they just don’t do so more often than not for some reason.

  • Next Game: @ Dolphins, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

25. Jacksonville Jaguars (down 3)

Talk about a dreadful performance! The Lions have a solid defense, but the Jags' offense made the whole unit look like All-Pros. It doesn’t help that Lawrence is out, and they have a guy who could probably be a good UFL quarterback behind center. But that doesn’t explain the failures in just about every other aspect of the offense.

  • Next Game: vs. Texans, Sunday, Dec. 1 @1 p.m. ET

26. New York Giants (up 1)

How does a team move up a slot when they are on a bye? If you’re a team struggling like the Giants have been all season, and you finally decide to sit your underperforming, overpaid quarterback—yeah, you’re going up a spot because things can only get better.

  • Next Game: vs. Buccaneers, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

27. Cleveland Browns (down 1)

How on Earth do you generate well over 400 total yards of offense (395 passing), commit no turnovers,  and only score 14 points? I don’t know, but somehow, the Browns managed to do it. Had Jameis Winston thrown five interceptions, I’d understand. Wow. At least they're making fantasy football players happy.

  • Next Game: vs. Steelers, Sunday, Nov. 21 @ 8:15 p.m. ET

28. Tennessee Titans (same)

I’ve got to give Will Levis a little credit for getting so close to his second 300+ passing day as a pro. But then I look at Tennessee’s rushing yards total for the day, and it becomes less of an impressive day. Ugh. Houston’s defense made the Cowboys' offense look competent Monday night, so maybe next week Levis can clear 300.

  • Next Game: @ Texans, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

29. Las Vegas Raiders (same)

A wide receiver with just one carry should never be your leading rusher (unless he breaks off a 90+ yard run or something). It’s not like the Dolphins' defense is hard-core against the run. This game was just another of the many that prove not paying Josh Jacobs was a mistake.

  • Next Game: vs. Broncos, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 4:05 p.m. ET

30. Carolina Panthers (same)

Since they didn’t play last week, I didn’t have any reason to knock down a spot or two. It is highly doubtful they will give me a reason next week when they host Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

  • Next Game:  vs. Chiefs, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

31. New York Jets (same)

So much for that sliver of hope Aaron Rodgers and the Jets offense gave fans with that tremendous second-half performance vs. the Texans a few weeks ago. Signing Davante Adams hasn’t been the spark fans hoped he would be, either.

  • Next Game: vs. Seahawks, Sunday, Dec. 1 @ 1 p.m. ET

32. Dallas Cowboys (same)

Maybe they deserve to be up a spot after Cooper Rush sliced up the Houston secondary for 350+ yards. It was an admirable performance and a huge step up from the clunker from a week before. But, while the offense moved the ball, it only scored one touchdown.

Yeah, they belong right where they are.

  • Next Game: @ Commanders, Sunday, Nov. 24 @ 1 p.m. ET

Top Five NFL Passing Offenses - Week 11

1. Detroit Lions:

24-29 for 412 yards and four touchdowns—I totally did not see this one coming. No, I expected a big first half and then for the second half to be focused on the run and killing the clock. But the second was a continuation of the first as the Lions had their way with the Jags' defense.

2. Cleveland Browns:

30-46 for 395 yards and two touchdowns—in the past, a performance like this from Jameis Winston was accompanied by a trio of interceptions. So, kudos for not throwing a pick, Jamies. But how do you throw for almost 400 yards and only score twice?

3. Cincinnati Bengals:

28-50 for 356 yards and three touchdowns—it was another great performance by Joe Burrow and the Bengals skill position guys. It’s just a shame it was wasted since the defense couldn’t stop the Chargers from scoring in the fourth quarter.

4. Dallas Cowboys:

33-56 for 358 yards, one touchdown, one interception— After a dreadful performance last week, I expected nothing from Cooper Rush and the Cowboys passing game vs. Houston. But 354 yards from Cooper Rush (+4 more yards from punter Bryan Anger)? That was almost as big a shock as finding out the Easter Bunny isn’t real.

5. Denver Broncos:

28-33 for 307 yards and four touchdowns—Heading into this game, I just hoped the Broncos would be competitive. I certainly didn’t think Bo Nix would slice and dice the Falcons' secondary for 300+ yards passing and four scores!

Top Five NFL Rushing Offenses - Week 11

1. Philadelphia Eagles:

40 carries for 228 yards and three touchdowns—Saquon Barkley did the bulk of the word with 146 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries. Forget the quarterbacks; Barkley is the MVP of the season (so far).

2. New Orleans Saints:

28 carries for 214 yards and three touchdowns—What makes this number impressive is that the team’s lead back only generated 67 yards. The bulk of the work came courtesy of tight end Taysom Hill (seven carries for 138 yards and three touchdowns.

3. Detroit Lions:

43 carries for 196 yards and three touchdowns—Somehow, they managed to post such big numbers in the run game while also generating close to 450 yards in the passing game. As much as I’d like to see Mike Tomlin win Coach of the Year, I’m kind of rooting for Dan Campbell, too.

4. Chicago Bears:

36 carries for 179 yards and two touchdowns-- When your offense is struggling, a great way to settle it down is to establish the run game, which the Bears did and were pretty good at. There isn’t a team in the league that would turn down such a great day. If only it had led to a win…

5. Los Angeles Chargers:

25 carries for 155 yards and two touchdowns—I know Jim Harbaugh likes having a good run game, but it is starting to look like his offense may be pretty good at both (Justin Herbert was 17-36 for 295 yards and two touchdowns).
