In the context of NFL offenses, it’s crucial to note that the level of talent at the quarterback position plays a pivotal role. Having an exceptional quarterback is almost a prerequisite for fielding a top-tier offense in the league. This can be deduced from the performances of the top five offenses after seven weeks of play.

Relying solely on points scored per team for rankings can be deceptive. For example, a team could have scored a significant number of points due to their defense, while having a strong defense can unfairly inflate an offense’s ranking by providing favorable field position. To more accurately gauge the consistency of an offense, it might be best to consider yards per game.

In this regard, the Miami Dolphins stand as the undisputed leader, averaging 462.3 yards per game. They have exploded this season with a healthy Tua Tagovailoa leading the way for the speedy options he has in the passing. The offense has had an exceptional game in which they recorded 726 yards against the Broncos.
