Top 5 Offenses Heading into the 2023 NFL Season
1. Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs have become very familiar with high-octane offensive performances, largely due to the presence of star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. In the 2022 season, the Chiefs ranked first in the league in total yards per game, averaging 404.6 yards. Mahomes recorded 5,250 passing yards and threw for 41 touchdowns. The Chiefs’ receiving corps, featuring Travis Kelce and Marquez Valdez-Scantling contributes significantly to their offensive effectiveness.

The Philadelphia Eagles are positioned for their already prominent offense to continue in 2023. The emergence of quarterback Jalen Hurts in 2022 showcased his dual-threat abilities, as he passed for 3,701 yards and rushed for 760 yards. This versatile skill set provides the Eagles with a unique offensive weapon.
The addition of DeVonta Smith, who notched 1,196 receiving yards last year, and A.J. Brown who had 1,496 yards, bolsters their receiving corps. Along with the best offensive line in the league, and Head Coach Nick Sirianni motivating his team, the Eagles’ offense has an upward trajectory in the 2023 season.
4. Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills are riding the wave of quarterback Josh Allen‘s remarkable growth. In 2022, Allen threw for 4,283 yards and recorded 35 touchdowns. The Bills’ passing game has been fortified with the production of star receiver Stefon Diggs. Their dynamic offensive strategy, led by offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, emphasizes versatility and attacking defenses in multiple ways, especially throwing deep downfield to speedy receivers like Gabe Davis.
The Bills ranked third in points per game, averaging 27.7 points, and they are bound certain to continue the trend upward.
5. Los Angeles Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers’ offensive rise centers around quarterback Justin Herbert. With 4,739 passing yards and 25 touchdowns in 2022, Herbert solidified his status as one of the league’s premier young quarterbacks. The Chargers’ receiving corps, including Keenan Allen, and Mike Williams, is among the league’s most dangerous.
The hiring of Kellen Moore as offensive coordinator adds another layer of innovation to their playbook. The Chargers ranked eighth in total yards per game, averaging 357.1 yards. With the quarterback-centric style of Kellen Moore, Herbert and the Chargers climb to the top is inevitable.
As the NFL’s 2023 season unfolds, these top five offenses are poised to continue their dominance on the field. With talented quarterbacks, deep playmaker groups, and cutting-edge coaching, they have the ingredients for prolific offensive performances. Fans can look forward to witnessing these offensive juggernauts in action, as they aim high to light up the scoreboard and leave their mark on the upcoming season.
