The Kansas City Chiefs maintain their elite quarterback status thanks to Patrick Mahomes. His arm talent and scrambling ability should continue to give defenses nightmares as the position’s pinnacle.
The Baltimore Ravens feature two particularly strong units.
At running back, Derrick Henry leads a versatile group that delivers consistent production and a powerful attack.
Meanwhile, their tight ends, led by Mark Andrews, provide quarterback Lamar Jackson with reliable targets that create matchup problems across the field.
At wide receiver, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers boast veteran Mike Evans, emerging player Jalen McMillan and first-round pick Emeka Egbuka. If Chris Godwin can return to form after a serious leg injury, it can be the league’s most dangerous group.
The reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles remain dominant in the trenches with their offensive line continuing to rank among the NFL’s best.
The unit’s combination of experience, skill and depth provides the foundation for their offense.
The Eagles also boast elite linebacker and cornerback groups, bringing speed and coverage ability that make their defense particularly balanced and difficult to attack.
When it comes to defensive line play, the Pittsburgh Steelers continue setting the standard.
T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward lead a front that consistently disrupts opposing offenses by collapsing pockets and derailing run schemes before they develop.
Safety play belongs to the Los Angeles Chargers, where Derwin James Jr. stars in both coverage assignments and run support.
HIs versatility allows the Chargers to deploy various defensive looks without sacrificing performance.
