Having one of the top-scoring offenses in the NFL is a valuable asset. After all, in its simplest terms, the teams that score more points are the ones who win games. Seven of the top-scoring offenses in the NFL, and 11 of the the top 12, all have winning records. These five teams stand above the rest as we head into Week 12 of the 2021 NFL season.
Offenses that have dominated the season
#5 - Indianapolis Colts - 28.1 points per game
The Indianapolis Colts are one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now. They have won their last three games in a row and five of their last six overall. Their offense has been clicking during this stretch, scoring 30 or more points in five of the last six games and eclipsing 40 points twice.
The main reason why the Colts offense has been carrying them to victories recently is the strong play of Jonathan Taylor. The second-year running back out of Wisconsin is having a monster season. He leads the NFL in rushing yards and is coming off a five-touchdown performance against the Buffalo Bills.
#4 - Arizona Cardinals - 28.2 points per game
Even without NFL MVP candidate Kyler Murray in their last three games, the Arizona Cardinals offense still ranks in the top five in scoring. Their offense has been key to their success, and when they score they win. The Cardinals have been undefeated this season in seven games where they have scored at least 30 points.
The Arizona Cardinals offense is loaded with weapons at all skill positions. They have been dealing with major injuries lately, so their depth has been useful for them. They have four solid wide receivers, two reliable running backs and one of the best tight ends in the NFL.
The top 3 offenses
#3 - Dallas Cowboys - 29.3 points per game
The Dallas Cowboys offense still leads the NFL in yards per game, but after their worst performance of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs, they dropped to third in scoring. It was the first time all year they were held without a touchdown, and just the second time they scored less than 20 points. Both of those games were in the last three weeks, and they lost both of them.
After scoring less than 20 points the first time, the Cowboys offense bounced back strong with a 43-point performance in their next game. They will look to have similar success against the vulnerable Las Vegas Raiders on Thanksgiving Day.
#2 - Buffalo Bills - 29.5 points per game
The Buffalo Bills offense has eclipsed 30 points six times and 40 points three times in a game this season. When their offense is rolling, they are extremely difficult to beat, but when their offense struggles, they often lose games. They have scored 16 points or less in three of their four losses.
Quarterback Josh Allen is the engine that drives the Bills offense. He is a true dual-threat player, ranking sixth in the NFL in passing yards and third among quarterbacks in rushing yards. He is an NFL MVP candidate this season.
#1 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 30.9 points per game
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense currently leads the NFL in scoring while also ranking second in yards per game. Quarterback Tom Brady is the current favorite to win the NFL MVP award this season. He leads the league in passing touchdowns while ranking in the top five in passing yards, passer rating and QBR.
The Buccaneers are the only team entering Week 12 of the 2021 NFL season with an average of over 30 points per game. This season, they have won all six of their games in which they have scored at least 28 points.
