Power Ranking Every NFL Offense at Season's Quarter Mark
Defense may win championships, but offense drives ratings and largely, today's NFL. This is why there have been so few rule changes that favor defense in recent years, and why all but one first-time head coach in 2019 have offensive backgrounds.
So, which teams have the best offenses though the season's first month? Statistical averages are important here. Since those can be skewed by teams that play from behind or against low-level competition, however, other factors were considered.
We'll also dive into the personnel, play-calling and player health that define each offense four weeks into the season.
How does every unit stack up?
32. Miami Dolphins
1 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Chad O'Shea
Yardage Rank: 31st
The Miami Dolphins may not be the league's worst team in terms of yardage—they're averaging just 225 per game—but there hasn't been a team this devoid of offensive talent in recent memory.
Quarterback Josh Rosen has outplayed Ryan Fitzpatrick—they've each started two games—and the former has a passer rating of 57.7. Kenyan Drake is the team's leading rusher with a mere 113 yards, while Preston Williams leads the receiving corps with 15 catches for 201 yards and one touchdown.
The most telling stat, though, is this: Miami is averaging just 13 first downs and 6.5 points per game. The 2017 Cleveland Browns, who didn't win a single game, averaged 18.1 first downs and 14.6 points per game.
31. New York Jets
2 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Adam Gase
Yardage Rank: 32nd
The New York Jets have been nearly as bad as the Dolphins offensively this season. However, they do have some excuses that don't involve tanking. Starting quarterback Sam Darnold has missed two of the team's three games with mononucleosis, and wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (neck) is on injured reserve.
Still, one would think an offense-minded head coach such as Adam Gase would be able to get more out of this group. There is a lack of overall talent, but the Jets do have Pro Bowl running back Le'Veon Bell.
To this point, however, Gase has appeared even more lost than third-string quarterback-turned-starter Luke Falk. His unit is averaging just 12 first downs per game and a mere 3.4 yards per offensive play.
30. Washington Redskins
3 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Jay Gruden
Yardage Rank: 28th
"We don't have one right now."
This is what Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said about his quarterback plan against the New England Patriots for Week 5, according to Nora Princiotti of the Boston Globe.
This offense lacks firepower, but Gruden might be its biggest problem. He inexplicably made running back Adrian Peterson a healthy scratch in Week 1 and yanked journeyman Case Keenum in favor of rookie Dwayne Haskins in Week 4, though he later said it "looked like [Keenum's] foot was bothering him" and he "missed throws," according to ESPN's John Keim.
Still, Gruden doesn't appear to have a concrete plan.
Haskins isn't ready to lead this offense, and the Redskins don't have the talent to support him. The Redskins are averaging just 16.5 points per game, and they might be even worse if Gruden forces Haskins into the lineup on a permanent basis.

29. Cincinnati Bengals
4 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Zac Taylor
Yardage Rank: 27th
The Cincinnati Bengals were one of several teams that went looking for the next Sean McVay in the offseason. In fact, they decided to hire a former McVay assistant in Zac Taylor. Unfortunately, Taylor hasn't brought the kind of offensive turnaround Cincinnati was hoping for.
The offensive line is a disaster. The Bengals are averaging just 49.5 rushing yards per game, and Andy Dalton has already been sacked 19 times. Standout running back Joe Mixon is averaging a mere 3.2 yards per carry, while Dalton has seven turnovers to go with five touchdown passes.
Oh, and A.J. Green remains out following ankle surgery. Fellow wideout John Ross III (clavicle) was just placed on injured reserve. Only the Jets and Dolphins have scored fewer points than the Bengals this season.
28. Chicago Bears
5 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Matt Nagy
Yardage Rank: 30th
The Chicago Bears lost starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky to a shoulder injury and actually looked better offensively after he exited the Week 4 game against the Vikings. This says a lot about where Chicago is on that side of the ball.
The fact that the Bears don't regularly rack up the yards isn't a major problem because this team is built to win sloppy defensive games. However, the offense cannot regularly rely on Trubisky to make clutch plays—and that is a major issue.
Opposing defenses are not threatened by Trubisky's arm, which has allowed defenders to clamp down on the running game. The Bears are averaging just 90.2 yards on the ground after they averaged 121.1 a year ago.
More creative play-calling from head coach Matt Nagy could help, but it seems as if Nagy doesn't trust Trubisky to fully operate his offense. We'll see if things look any different with Chase Daniel at the helm in Week 5.
27. Minnesota Vikings
6 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Kevin Stefanski
Yardage Rank: 24th
The Minnesota Vikings rank just a bit above the rival Bears, primarily because running back Dalvin Cook is emerging as elite. Cook has already produced 524 combined rushing and receiving yards to go with five touchdowns.
The issue is Minnesota sits this low despite having a healthy quarterback who's playing on an $84 million contract.
Kirk Cousins has been a problem for the Vikings this season. He's played poorly in clutch moments and has struggled to push the ball downfield. The Vikings have tried taking the ball out of his hands—he's attempting fewer than 25 passes per game—and that's problematic.
Minnesota's offensive line has struggled in pass protection, which hasn't helped matters, but that isn't the sole reason this is arguably the NFL's most one-dimensional offense.
26. Pittsburgh Steelers
7 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Randy Fichtner
Yardage Rank: 29th
The Pittsburgh Steelers finally got their offense going against the Bengals in Week 4. However, one good game against a terrible team does not make for a quality offense.
The reality is Pittsburgh has talented weapons—like JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner and Vance McDonald—but it also has an inexperienced quarterback in Mason Rudolph. The second-year signal-caller simply isn't able to sling it like Ben Roethlisberger, which has allowed opposing defenses to clamp down on the run game and the short-passing attack.
To be fair, the Steelers offense looked just as poor with Roethlisberger at the helm before his Week 2 elbow injury.
Still, Pittsburgh averaged just 16.3 points before its game against Cincinnati. Things should improve as Rudolph gains experience. However, this offense will struggle against quality opponents.
25. Denver Broncos
8 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Rich Scangarello
Yardage Rank: 18th
The Denver Broncos traded for veteran quarterback Joe Flacco in the offseason, hoping he would finally solidify the position. Flacco has been decent—he's thrown for 1,076 yards with five touchdowns and three picks—but the offense as a whole has been lacking.
Perhaps the biggest issue for Denver has been bad line play. Flacco has been sacked 11 times already, and the Broncos are averaging just 100.5 rushing yards per game.
Uneven play-calling by Rich Scangarello and an inability to finish drives have also hurt the Broncos. Despite being a top-20 team in terms of yardage, Denver is averaging just 17.5 points per game, sixth-fewest in the NFL.
24. Arizona Cardinals
9 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Kliff Kingsbury
Yardage Rank: 23rd
The Arizona Cardinals went all-in on offense during the offseason. They hired head coach Kliff Kingsbury to add college-inspired innovation to the attack and then drafted reigning Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray to run it.
The marriage between Murray and Kingsbury remains a work in progress.
There have been flashes of promise, especially from Murray. He's thrown for 1,071 yards and four touchdowns, and rushed for 113 yards and a score. Still, he's gotten little support from running back David Johnson (3.7 YPC) and the offensive line.
In fact, the Arizona line might just be the league's worst. Murray is on pace to be sacked 80 times this season.
23. Green Bay Packers
10 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Matt LaFleur
Yardage Rank: 20th
The Green Bay Packers still have quarterback Aaron Rodgers, which is significant. Unfortunately, aside from Rodgers and wideout Davante Adams, there isn't anyone who can keep opposing coordinators up at night.
Packers fans are used to seeing Rodgers carry this offense, but things were supposed to be different this year. Green Bay hired head coach Matt LaFleur to inject new life into the offense and finally unleash Rodgers' full potential.
Instead, the offense has looked like a disjointed mess, with Rodgers making just enough key plays to complement the defense. Rushing has been an issue—Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams have both averaged 3.3 yards per carry—and it again looks like Rodgers will have to make magic.
The fact that Rodgers is capable of single-handedly taking over games keeps Green Bay from being ranked lower.
22. Tennessee Titans
11 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Arthur Smith
Yardage Rank: 25th
Consider the Tennessee Titans a solid, improving offense. New coordinator Arthur Smith runs a simplified, run-based scheme, but it's been effective. The tandem of Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis makes for a dangerous backfield, and wideouts Corey Brown and A.J. Brown are emerging as reliable targets.
The biggest reason Tennessee can still rise up the rankings, however, is the improved play from Marcus Mariota.
The quarterback, who is in the final year of his rookie contract, has passed for 933 yards with seven touchdowns and zero interceptions. He still tends to struggle when the running game isn't there—as was the case against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3, but Mariota and this offense are coming into their own.
21. Oakland Raiders
12 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Jon Gruden
Yardage Rank: 21st
Inconsistency is the one thing holding the Oakland Raiders offense back. Would they love to have a talent like Antonio Brown on the field? Sure, but they have emerging receiving weapons in Tyrell Williams, Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller.
Quarterback Derek Carr appears more comfortable in Jon Gruden's offense than he did a year ago, and the Raiders appear to have a franchise running back in Josh Jacobs.
But it's been difficult to put all the pieces together.
Despite having much better talent around him, Carr's passer rating has only increased less than three points over last year's to 96.7. In Oakland's two wins, it has averaged 27.5 points. In the two losses, the Raiders have averaged just 12.
At least they're putting a better offensive product on the field this year, and it's likely to get even better as the season progresses and the new pieces continue to jell.
20. Houston Texans
13 of 32
Offensive Play-Callers: Tim Kelly, Bill O'Brien
Yardage Rank: 22nd
The Houston Texans offense should be better than it has been. Deshaun Watson is one of the best young quarterbacks in football. DeAndre Hopkins might be the best receiver in the NFL. Duke Johnson Jr. and Carlos Hyde have combined to give Houston a functional running game. So, why then, are the Texans ranked just 22nd in scoring and 22nd in yardage?
There are two main problems, and neither has to do with skill-position talent.
First, the play-calling by head coach Bill O'Brien and coordinator Tim Kelly has been questionable, and O'Brien's game management has been downright bad at times.
"Bill O'Brien has had too many moments of lapses of judgments when the Texans need him to be picture perfect," Patrick D. Starr of SI.com wrote. "... The problem is not getting better over the years but exponentially worse."
Second, the offensive line has struggled in pass protection. Houston traded for Laremy Tunsil just before the start of the season, and Watson is still on pace to be sacked 72 times.
19. Indianapolis Colts
14 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Frank Reich
Yardage Rank: 19th
Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich deserves a ton of credit for overcoming Andrew Luck's sudden retirement. He's built an offense around Jacoby Brissett that has been more than functional most of the time.
Led by Marlon Mack, the Colts have the league's seventh-ranked rushing attack. This has allowed Brissett to play complementary football and be efficient as a passer—he has 10 touchdowns and just two interceptions.
The issue is Indianapolis has struggled to find chunk plays, especially when T.Y. Hilton, who's battled quad troubles, has been out of the lineup. The Colts are averaging just 5.4 yards per play. Only nine teams have a lower average.
18. Atlanta Falcons
15 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Dirk Koetter
Yardage Rank: 11th
If these rankings were based on talent alone, the Atlanta Falcons would be higher. They still have offensive fixtures Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman and Mohamed Sanu. They have a solid second-year receiver in Calvin Ridley, and an underrated tight end in Austin Hooper.
What the Falcons seem to be missing is an offensive identity, and it's been a problem since coordinator Kyle Shanahan left after the 2016 campaign.
This offseason, Atlanta replaced coordinator Steve Sarkisian with Dirk Koetter. The offense is still struggling to run the ball consistently (4.0 YPC) and to finish drives.
Yes, Atlanta does average 382.8 total yards and 312.5 passing yards per game, but it's also been playing from behind frequently. The Falcons are averaging a mere 17.5 points per game, and only five teams have a lower mark.
17. Carolina Panthers
16 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Norv Turner
Yardage Rank: 17th
There isn't a quarterback controversy in Carolina yet. However, the Panthers have looked steadier and more consistent on offense with Kyle Allen under center than they did with Cam Newton, who has an injured foot. This is most likely because offensive coordinator Norv Turner has had to switch up his game plan a bit.
Turner hasn't been able to operate a scheme based on a dual-threat quarterback anymore, but that's been just fine. Instead, he's getting the ball to playmakers Christian McCaffrey, DJ Moore and Greg Olsen. As a result, the Panthers are 2-0 since Newton went down.
Still, this offense is based on scheme. McCaffrey is one of the league's best running backs, but there isn't another elite player around him.
The Panthers need to do more than torch the 31st-ranked Cardinals defense and outlast the Texans before their offense can be considered one of the NFL's best.
16. Jacksonville Jaguars
17 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: John DeFilippo
Yardage Rank: 14th
Minshew Mania is upon us, and the Jacksonville Jaguars have the best offense in the NFL!
OK, not quite. However, there's a real chance the Jaguars have found their quarterback of the future in rookie Gardner Minshew II. He holds a passer rating of 106.9 and has seven touchdowns and just one interception through the first month—which puts him on pace to break Baker Mayfield's rookie TD record (27).
DJ Chark Jr. has emerged as a legitimate No. 1 receiver with Minshew pulling the trigger, and Leonard Fournette finally looks like the running back Jacksonville expected him to be—he's averaging an impressive 5.6 yards per carry.
Do the Jaguars have an elite offense? Not yet. They're playing well, though, and with seasoned play-caller John DeFilippo in tow, they're likely to remain on the upswing.
15. New York Giants
18 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Pat Shurmur
Yardage Rank: 6th
Should New York Giants fans be excited about Daniel Jones? Yes. Should they get carried away while doting over the state of their offense? No, at least not yet.
Jones has looked good for a rookie, and he has the athleticism and aggressiveness that Eli Manning lacked. However, Jones' two wins have come courtesy of a missed field goal and a matchup with the woebegone Redskins.
The reality is the Giants don't have a lot of weapons. Evan Engram and Sterling Shepard are fine pass-catchers. Getting Golden Tate back from his four-game suspension will help. With Saquon Barkley nursing a high-ankle sprain, this is an above-average offense at best. New York has racked up plenty of yards, but it also spent the first three weeks playing from behind.
When Barkley and Tate are also in the lineup, New York may just have the foundation for something special.
14. Buffalo Bills
19 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Brian Daboll
Yardage Rank: 9th
Two things are keeping the Buffalo Bills offense from being one of the NFL's best. One is a lack of premier receiving talent—though guys such as John Brown, Cole Beasley and Dawson Knox are capable.
The other is the development of second-year quarterback Josh Allen. The Wyoming product oozes talent, and he is playing better than he did as a rookie. However, he still tends to make poor decisions, hold the ball too long and take unnecessary hits.
Allen is a physical runner, and his scrambling ability makes the Buffalo running game one of the toughest to stop. As Allen continues to mature as a signal-caller, the Bills will creep closer to having an elite offense.
13. Seattle Seahawks
20 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Brian Schottenheimer
Yardage Rank: 13th
Seattle Seahawks fans are used to seeing a run-first offense that grinds through games and lets Russell Wilson make magic in the fourth quarter.
Well, Seattle has that kind of offense again this season. Wilson had to come back against the Bengals in Week 1, and Seattle couldn't keep pace with the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. However, this is looking like a more balanced unit than fans are used to.
The emergence of tight end Will Dissly and rookie wideout DK Metcalf has added real punch to the passing game. Wilson isn't likely to throw the ball 50 times per contest, but he does have enough weapons around him for the Seahawks to win a shootout.
12. New Orleans Saints
21 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Sean Payton
Yardage Rank: 26th
The New Orleans Saints would be much, much higher on this list if Drew Brees (thumb surgery) were healthy and under center. Teddy Bridgewater has been steady as a fill-in, but he hasn't stretched the field and opened up the passing attack the way Brees did.
With weapons such as Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara, Jared Cook and Ted Ginn Jr., New Orleans should be putting up more than 321.2 yards per game.
This isn't meant as a knock on Bridgewater. Backups don't get many first-team reps, so head coach Sean Payton has likely been opening up the playbook slowly. Still, expect the Saints' offensive production to ramp up considerably once Brees is back.
11. Cleveland Browns
22 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Freddie Kitchens
Yardage Rank: 12th
Questionable play-calling and a lack of chemistry held the Cleveland Browns back over the first three weeks of the season. However, they finally started to play as a unit in Week 4, and the end result was eye-opening.
Cleveland dropped 530 yards of offense and 40 points on the Baltimore Ravens—at M&T Bank Stadium. The play-calling was smoother, and quarterback Baker Mayfield appeared to get the ball out faster. The offense, as a whole, was dangerous.
Now, Cleveland has to continue building on this breakout performance and jelling as a group to break into the top 10. However, the Browns are loaded with talent—from Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry to Mayfield and Nick Chubb—and will be able to match points with anyone if rookie head coach Freddie Kitchens can keep it rolling.
10. Detroit Lions
23 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Darrell Bevell
Yardage Rank: 8th
Don't look now, but the Detroit Lions have a running game. This might not seem like a big deal to most NFL fans, but to Detroit fans who have watched the Matthew Stafford Show over the past several years, it matters.
Stafford is still playing great ball and has some quality weapons in Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones Jr., T.J. Hockenson and Danny Amendola. However, the Lions offense finally has balance, with Kerryon Johnson helping to spark a running game that has averaged 120.5 yards per game on the ground.
Detroit averaged 103.8 rushing yards per game last season.
Stafford doesn't have to carry the offense like he has in years past. This is a good overall group that complements the defense well and has a good chance to push Detroit into the postseason.
9. New England Patriots
24 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Josh McDaniels
Yardage Rank: 15th
In terms of yardage, the Patriots are a middle-of-the-pack unit offensively. However, that's not what makes this unit great.
New England might just have the most adaptable offense in the NFL. It can switch from being a run-first team to a pass-heavy squad on the fly and has the personnel to do so.
Future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady is at the top of the talent list, but he is far from the only key piece. Guys like Julian Edelman, James White, Rex Burkhead and Phillip Dorsett may not seem like stars, but they're perfect for what coordinator Josh McDaniels wants to do.
Josh Gordon is probably the one other elite player on the offense aside from Brady, but as a whole, the Patriots are hard to stop. Even after being held to 16 points in Week 4, they're averaging 30.5 points per game.
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
25 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Byron Leftwich
Yardage Rank: 10th
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hired Bruce Arians as head coach to get the most out of quarterback Jameis Winston. Though Byron Leftwich is handling the offensive coordinator job, Arians does seem to be working a little bit of his magic.
Turnovers are still an issue for Winston—he has five interceptions—but the Florida State product is playing as well as ever. His passer rating of 95.8 is a career high, and the Buccaneers passing game is thriving.
Leftwich has also managed to get something out of the ground game, which was essentially nonexistent last year. As a team, Tampa is averaging 113.3 rushing yards per game and 3.8 yards per carry. That's not great, but it's more than serviceable alongside the league's eighth-ranked passing attack.
Only three teams are averaging more than the 30.8 points the Buccaneers are.
7. Philadelphia Eagles
26 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Doug Pederson
Yardage Rank: 16th
Don't let the Philadelphia Eagles' yardage production fool you. The team has been hampered by injuries to wideouts Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson, which has hurt the overall numbers.
Look instead at the two-headed backfield of Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders—the same one that just dismantled the Packers—the efficient play of quarterback Carson Wentz (9 TD, 2 INT) and the game-breaking ability of tight end Zach Ertz.
Toss in an offensive line that is allowing fewer than two sacks per game, and you have the makings of a physical and run-oriented scheme that is getting smart complementary play from its quarterback.
Wentz is on pace to throw for 36 touchdowns and just eight interceptions this season.
6. San Francisco 49ers
27 of 32
Offensive Play Caller: Kyle Shanahan
Yardage Rank: 4th
For the San Francisco 49ers, it's all about the scheme. The team has been without running backs Jerick McKinnon (IR) and Tevin Coleman (ankle), and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo hasn't played particularly well—he has five turnovers to go with five touchdown passes.
However, Kyle Shanahan keeps coming up with ways to rack up the yardage, primarily on the ground. Backups Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert torched defenses over the first three weeks of the season, and San Francisco has averaged 175 rushing yards per game, second-most in the league.
With eight turnovers already, though, ball security has been a problem, and the 49ers need to get more efficient play out of Garoppolo. Otherwise, San Francisco would be ranked even higher.
5. Los Angeles Rams
28 of 32
Offensive Play Caller: Sean McVay
Yardage Rank: 7th
From a pure talent standpoint, the Los Angeles Rams have the best offense in the league. From Jared Goff and Todd Gurley to Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks, this unit is loaded with playmakers. With Sean McVay calling the shots, this should be the best offense in the league.
However, there are issues that need to be ironed out. Goff, who has nine turnovers already, is in a bit of a slump. McVay cannot seem to sort out the right combination of Gurley and Malcolm Brown in the backfield, and the whole unit just hasn't been in sync like it was a year ago.
Still, Los Angeles is averaging nearly 400 yards and 30 points per game, so there's no reason for fans to panic. There is still plenty of time for the Rams to hit their stride.
4.. Los Angeles Chargers
29 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Ken Whisenhunt
Yardage Rank: 5th
It's hard not to love what the Los Angeles Chargers have on offense. They have a Hall of Fame-caliber quarterback in Philip Rivers, an elite wide receiver in Keenan Allen, a solid No. 2 in Mike Williams and a breakout running back in Austin Ekeler.
Los Angeles also has a seasoned play-caller in Ken Whisenhunt and is about to get Pro Bowl running back Melvin Gordon back from his contract holdout.
With a better offensive line—Rivers has been sacked 11 times—and a healthy Hunter Henry (knee) at tight end, the Chargers would likely challenge for the best offense in the league.
Perhaps a running back rotation of Ekeler, Gordon and Justin Jackson can get them there regardless.
3. Baltimore Ravens
30 of 32
Offensive Play Caller: Greg Roman
Yardage Rank: 1st
New offensive coordinator Greg Roman has worked wonders for Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens offense this year. Jackson has become more efficient and more dangerous as a passer—his passer rating of 109.4 is roughly 25 points higher than last year. Yet, the Ravens still have one of the most dangerous rushing attacks in the league.
Baltimore is averaging 205.8 yards per game on the ground.
"It's definitely something that's new that people haven't seen," cornerback Jimmy Smith said of Baltimore's offense, per ESPN's Jamison Hensley.
The Ravens have tailored their offense to Jackson, and it's working well so far.
2. Dallas Cowboys
31 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Kellen Moore, Jason Garrett
Yardage Rank: 3rd
Yes, the Dallas Cowboys were just held to 10 points by the Saints. That's likely to be viewed as an aberration when looking back on the season, however.
With former backup quarterback Kellen Moore now the offensive coordinator, the Dallas offense has exploded. Dallas came into the Saints matchup putting up 32.3 points per game after averaging just 21.2 last season.
Dak Prescott is no longer a game manager; he's a full-fledged playmaker who has already thrown for 1,143 yards and nine touchdowns. The rest of the Dallas offense can hurt opponents in a variety of ways.
Ezekiel Elliott is still the centerpiece of the ground game, but he's getting help from rookie Tony Pollard (5.0 yards per carry). Amari Cooper is still the No. 1 receiver, but he has quality running mates in Randall Cobb, Michael Gallup and Jason Witten.
The Cowboys have the sort of offense that can propel them all the way to the Super Bowl in 2019.
1. Kansas City Chiefs
32 of 32
Offensive Play-Caller: Andy Reid
Yardage Rank: 2nd
This one shouldn't come as a major surprise. Despite playing without No. 1 wide receiver Tyreek Hill since Week 1 and without a workhorse running back, the Kansas City Chiefs have been nearly unstoppable offensively this season.
Part of this is due to the innovative play calling of head coach Andy Reid. Part is due to an underrated offensive line that features the likes of Mitchell Schwartz and Eric Fisher. Part is because the Chiefs still have weapons like Travis Kelce, Sammy Watkins and LeSean McCoy.
Of course, the biggest reason is the presence of quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He took the NFL world by storm last season, passing for 5,097 yards and 50 touchdowns. This season? He's on pace to throw for 6,040 yards and 40 touchdowns.
Mahomes has yet to throw an interception and has just one lost fumble.
Yes, an offense is more than just its quarterback, but Mahomes is the piece that makes a great Kansas City offense truly special.
