Bills Offense Ranked Best in League Despite One Glaring Flaw originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Buffalo Bills have a league MVP at quarterback, a consistent offensive line, and a collection of quality skill players to build one of the better offenses in the league.

Is all their talent enough to be the best unit, though?
That is the question that NFL.com's Gennaro Filice tackled this week. The analyst believes the Bills are the best offense in the NFL entering the 2025 season despite a glaring flaw.
"Now, the weaponry beyond Pro Bowl running back James Cook and freshly paid receiver Khalil Shakir still leaves something to be desired, but I anticipate growth from second-year wideout Keon Coleman and third-year tight end Dalton Kincaid," Filice said. "And let's be honest: The 6-foot-5, 237-pound signal-caller (Josh Allen) can operate as a one-man army, making NFL men look like boys in his midst."
Buffalo does not have a top-notch receiving target. That much is clear. However, their collection of wideouts, coupled with a league MVP at quarterback, means the need for a No. 1 receiver may not be as prevalent as on other teams.

Meanwhile ...
Very few teams in the league have an offensive line that is as consistent as the Bills'.
When it all gets added together, Buffalo's offense is easily one of the best in the league.
What's next?
The Bills must kick off the 2025 season with some dominant performances to land as the top overall group.
If they can do that and come away with a few wins against some of the other true contenders, their claim as the best offense in football will be hard to argue with.

Malik Nabers named New York Giants' top Offensive Player of the Year candidate
Malik Nabers named New York Giants' top Offensive Player of the Year candidate The New York Giants are hoping an improved quarterback situation will help star wideout Malik Nabers reach the upper echelon of wide receivers in the NFL. Coming off a historic campaign in which Nabers set the wide receiver record for receptions in a rookie season (109), it's easy to see why there's plenty of hype surrounding the 21-year-old. If not for the equally historic campaign from Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, we would be discussing Nabers' rookie season as one of the best in recent history. When looking at each team's top candidate to win the Offensive Player of the Year Award, the decision was easy for Jacob Infante of Pro Football Network when it came to the Giants. Despite a disappointing season, the New York Giants seem to have found a franchise cornerstone in wide receiver Malik Nabers. As a rookie, he finished top 10 in the league in both receptions and receiving yards in a Pro Bowl campaign. With improved QB play expected in New York, Nabers could do even more damage this season. Winning the prestigious award is incredibly difficult, especially for a young wide receiver. Only three wide receivers since 2000 have earned the award. Otherwise, it's essentially an award for quarterbacks and running backs. Nabers does have the chance to put together an elite career after what he showed during the 2024 season. Even if Russell Wilson is a shell of his former self as a 10-time Pro Bowler, he should be a vast improvement over what the Giants had under center last season. A betting man likely wouldn't put his money on Nabers winning the award, but this is just a reminder of how vital the young superstar is to the Giants' offense.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes shares his thoughts on the wide receiver room
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes shares his thoughts on the wide receiver room During his minicamp press conference, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave his assessment of the wide receiver room after mandatory minicamp. 'For sure. I think you saw even at the beginning of last year before Rashee (Rice) got hurt,' said Mahomes, 'Whenever you have a guy that you have spent that time with and had that connection with, you can hit the ground running because you know those different things. Seeing that with Xavier (Worthy) this year and Hollywood (Brown) and Rashee and JuJu (Smith-Schuster) and all these guys, man.' Last season was Mahomes' first as a starter without 4,000 passing yards or a Pro Bowl selection. He believes a healthy and productive unit will bounce back more efficiently in 2025. 'They have done a great job of working and continuing to work to get even better.' said Mahomes, 'You can talk about stuff that's happened in prior years, and that's where me and Travis (Kelce) have had so much success: when you get multiple and multiple years of reps with guys, you continue to get better and better on the football field.' Mahomes finished 2024 with 3,928 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.
