As we’ve gone through the quick facts earlier, it’s easy to see that not all teams are created equal. Some simply have better lineups and more efficient players than others. Speaking of efficiency, there are a lot of things that play into it, especially on the offensive side.
These are the five best teams in the NFL when it comes to offensive prowess:
- Detroit Lions – The Lions had an explosive season, pacing the league with an average of 33.2 points per game. Their offense was especially dangerous through the passing game, averaging 277.5 yds per game through the air.

- Baltimore Ravens – The Ravens powered an efficient attack, averaging 30.5 points per game. This team had a downhill rushing identity powered by the legs of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, both being a special challenge for opposing defences. In total, the Ravens had 3,189 rushing yards or 187.6 yards per game.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers – The Bucs scored 29.5 points per game on average. Their offense primarily found the endzone through the passing game, which is evident from the 4,505 passing yards vs 2,536 rushing yards, making the pass the primary big-play source.
