NFL’s top 10 offenses in 2025? Bills, Bucs, Ravens headline my projection; Broncos coming in HOT

Despite being the 12th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, Bo Nix was the sixth quarterback selected. Naturally, this led many to believe Sean Payton desperately forced the issue at the game’s most important position. And in September, that certainly appeared to be the case: 

  • Nix’s first four games: 60.1 comp%, 165.0 passing ypg, 4.8 ypa, 1:4 TD-to-INT ratio, 62.5 passer rating.

During that opening month, Denver’s offense averaged a miniscule 14.5 points per game, tied for 29th in the NFL. But after the calendar turned to October, the Broncos turned up, averaging a healthy 25.2 points per game for the remainder of the regular season, ranking ninth in that span. And yes, Nix spearheaded the attack with an astounding about-face:

  • Nix’s final 13 games: 68.3 comp%, 239.6 passing ypg, 7.3 ypa, 28:8 TD-to-INT ratio, 103.2 passer rating.

Denver was abruptly blown out of the playoffs by Buffalo, but Nix himself didn’t look out of place. In the coming season, I expect him to pick up where he left off. The Broncos return all five starters from an offensive line that played at an elite level last season. And hey, what do you know: Payton made another early draft pick that had some folks calling REACH! But don’t count me among those questioning second-round selection R.J. Harvey — I’m a big fan of this compact, shifty back with supreme contact balance. With Denver signing J.K. Dobbins this week, Payton’s assembling the kind of multifaceted backfield that served him well in New Orleans.
