The NFL is an offense-driven league, and quarterbacks are the conductors of the entertainment that makes it the most watched sport in the country.
NFL Media took the liberty this week of ranking what they saw as the ten best offenses in the NFL heading into the 2025 season. While training camp hasn’t even happened yet, and a lot could happen, they felt like they had enough information to make an informed decision on which teams to include.

That said, the Vikings did not make the cut as a top-ten offense. However, two of their division rivals, the Packers and Lions, did.
The Packers ranked as the eighth-best offense, while the Lions earned the third spot. The Lions have earned that ranking, but having the Packers on the list while neglecting the Vikings is a decision that will need to be explained a little bit deeper. For the Vikings to be left off with the likes of Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Aaron Jones, Christian Darrisaw, Brian O’Neill, and more, it has to boil down to the uncertainty of J.J. McCarthy.
Perhaps they can revisit this list next year and see how things have shaped up.
