Week 12 was a very wild week for some of the league’s best offenses, as some NFL teams kept their foot on the gas pedal and had the time of their lives on the gridiron, avoided trap games, and led their teams to victory.
Other teams weren’t as lucky, as their offenses struggled throughout the game and weren’t mobile due to fierce opposing defenses. Either way, we, as fans, enjoyed every second of the week and what it had to offer, and we look forward to seeing what week 13 gives us.
Here are the grades for all 32 NFL teams’ offenses after week 12.
Which teams had the best offense in the entire NFL after week 12?
Arizona Cardinals: D-
The Cardinals’ offense had a brutal afternoon, as they were dismantled 6-16 against the Seattle Seahawks. Kyler Murray threw a costly interception against no touchdowns, Trey Benson rushed for 18 yards on four carries while the Cardinals’ rushing attack was held to a combined 49 yards on the ground, Marvin Harrison Jr. caught three receptions for 47 yards, and Trey McBride was the team’s only bright spot, as he caught 12 receptions for 133 yards.
A very painful afternoon for the Redbirds’ offense, as they were completely immobilized by the Seahawks’ defense for most of the game.
Atlanta Falcons: Bye Week

The Falcons’ offense had a rough week 11 and struggled against a very formidable Denver Broncos defense. If Kirk Cousins continues to struggle, it may be time to start Michael Penix Jr. sooner rather than later and see if he can help pull this offense back into potential playoff contention.
Baltimore Ravens: A-
The Ravens’ offense had themselves a night out on the town as they defeated the Los Angeles Chargers in a thrilling 30-23 battle on Monday Night Football. Lamar Jackson threw two touchdowns and scored a rushing touchdown, Derrick Henry rushed for 140 yards on 24 carries, Justice Hill rushed for 55 yards on four carries and scored a touchdown, Zay Flowers caught five receptions for 62 yards, Mark Andrews caught five receptions for 44 yards and scored a touchdown, and Rashod Bateman caught two receptions for 43 yards and scored a touchdown.
Even though the Ravens started the night slow, offensive coordinator Todd Monken’s unit turned on the gas in the second quarter and didn’t let go as they looked sharp against the Chargers.
Buffalo Bills: Bye Week
The Bills’ offense defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in one of their biggest wins of the season and look to continue playing some great offensive football as they remain home in week 13, and will welcome the San Francisco 49ers to town on Sunday Night Football.
Carolina Panthers: B-
The Panthers’ offense was able to put up a decent fight against the two-time defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, in week 12 but came up short in their 27-30 loss. Bryce Young threw a touchdown with no interceptions, Chuba Hubbard rushed for 58 yards on 16 carries, and David Moore caught six receptions for 81 yards and scored a touchdown.
The Panthers’ offense took a hit when tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders left the game with a scary neck injury. On a positive note, he has been released from the hospital.
Chicago Bears: C+
The Bears’ offense put up a fight against the Minnesota Vikings but ultimately fell just short, as they lost 27-30 in overtime during their NFL clash. Caleb Williams threw two touchdowns with no interceptions, D’Andre Swift rushed for 30 yards on 13 carries, Roschon Johnson rushed for two yards on two carries and scored a rushing touchdown, DJ Moore caught seven receptions for 106 yards and scored a touchdown, and Keenan Allen caught nine receptions for 86 yards and scored a touchdown.
The Bears’ passing attack kept the team afloat all game long, and Williams has become the team’s franchise quarterback, potentially, for years to come.
Cincinnati Bengals: Bye Week
The Bengals’ offense played a good game of football in their week 11 loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins, Ja’Marr Chase, and Chase Brown need to find a way to finish games and establish leads early on when they return to action in week 13.

Cleveland Browns: B-
The Browns’ offense had an iconic NFL game out on a snowy Huntington Bank Field, as they won 24-19 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jameis Winston threw an interception and scored a rushing touchdown, Nick Chubb rushed for 59 yards on 20 carries and scored two rushing touchdowns, and Jerry Jeudy caught six receptions for 85 yards.
The Browns’ offense had themselves a challenge against the ferocious Steelers’ defense and emerged on top. The Browns need to build upon their win as they travel west to the Mile High City in their week 13 showdown against the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football.
Dallas Cowboys: B+
The Cowboys’ offense stepped up and secured a stunning 34-26 win over the Washington Commanders. Cooper Rush threw two touchdown passes, Rico Dowdle rushed for 86 yards on 19 carries, CeeDee Lamb caught 10 receptions for 67 yards, Luke Schoonmaker caught three receptions for 55 yards and scored a touchdown, and Jalen Tolbert caught two receptions for 22 yards and scored a touchdown.
A great effort by the Cowboys’ offense in the fourth quarter, as this win saved their season and cooled down head coach Mike McCarthy’s coaching seat… for now.
Denver Broncos: B
The Broncos’ offense had a very good afternoon as they defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 29-19. Bo Nix threw two touchdowns against no interceptions, Jaleel McLaughlin rushed for 44 yards on seven carries, Courtland Sutton caught eight receptions for 97 yards and scored two touchdowns, and Devaughn Vele caught six receptions for 80 yards.
Despite a rotating carousel in the Broncos’ backfield, Sutton and Nix shined and led the Broncos’ offense to a very nice victory over one of the NFL’s woeful teams, the Raiders. The Broncos return home for a week 13 matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football.
Detroit Lions: A-
The Lions’ offense had a very nice afternoon in the Hoosier State, as they decimated the Indianapolis Colts 24-6. Jared Goff threw no touchdowns or interceptions, Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 90 yards on 21 carries and scored two rushing touchdowns, David Montgomery rushed for 37 yards on eight carries and scored a rushing touchdown, Jameson Williams caught five receptions for 64 yards, and Amon-Ra St. Brown caught six receptions for 62 yards.
Despite Goff not throwing a single touchdown, Gibbs and Montgomery stepped up and carried the Lions’ offense with their intense running and combined for 127 yards on the ground. The Lions’ offense returns home for their annual Thanksgiving game as they get prepared to welcome the Chicago Bears to town. Gobble, Gobble, and Happy Thanksgiving.
Green Bay Packers: A-
The Packers’ offense looked sharp as they dismantled the injury-plagued San Francisco 49ers 38-10 at home. Jordan Love threw two touchdowns against no interceptions, Josh Jacobs rushed for 106 yards on 26 carries and scored three rushing touchdowns, Romeo Doubs caught three receptions for 54 yards, Tucker Kraft caught two receptions for 26 yards and scored a touchdown, and Malik Heath caught two receptions for 15 yards and scored a touchdown.
The passing attack had a couple of issues, as Christian Watson dropped a key pass, but Jacobs commanded a strong run game with his 106 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.
Houston Texans: D+
The Texans’ offense had a shaky afternoon as they narrowly lost 27-32 against their AFC South rivals, the Tennessee Titans. C.J. Stroud threw two touchdowns against two interceptions, Joe Mixon rushed for 22 yards on 14 carries, Nico Collins caught five receptions for 92 yards and scored a touchdown, Tank Dell caught three receptions for 72 yards, and Cade Stover caught three receptions for 26 yards and scored a touchdown.
The Texans’ offensive coordinator, Bobby Slowik, has a lot of work ahead of him, as the offense needs to clean up the penalties, interceptions, and small mistakes and protect Stroud at the offensive line. This NFL team’s offense will travel to the Sunshine State for a week 13 divisional match-up against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Indianapolis Colts: D-
The Colts offense had themselves a rough afternoon in their 6-24 loss against the Detroit Lions. Anthony Richardson threw no touchdowns or interceptions, Jonathan Taylor rushed for 35 yards on 11 carries, and Michael Pittman Jr. caught six receptions for 96 yards. Outside of Pittman Jr.’s production, the Colts’ offense failed to get into the end zone, and they were held to two field goals in the entire game.
Richardson said the penalties hurt the team offensively, and they have to return to the drawing board after the game. The Colts’ offense hits the road in week 13 and will travel east for a showdown against the New England Patriots.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Bye Week
The Jaguars’ offense was a mess in their 6-52 loss on the road against the Detroit Lions, and they have a lot of things to clean up before week 13. Luckily, Trevor Lawrence returned to practice, but his status for week 13’s game against the Houston Texans is uncertain… for now.
Kansas City Chiefs: B+
The Chiefs’ offense had a good afternoon in the Tar Heel state, as they won a very close 30-27 neck-and-neck battle against the Carolina Panthers. Patrick Mahomes threw three touchdowns with no interceptions, Kareem Hunt rushed for 68 yards on 16 carries, Noah Gray caught four receptions for 66 yards and scored a touchdown, Travis Kelce caught six receptions for 62 yards, and DeAndre Hopkins caught five receptions for 35 yards and scored a touchdown.
Patrick Mahomes’ athleticism and leadership helped out the offense, as he helped set up backup NFL kicker Spencer Shrader to kick the game-winning field goal just as time expired.
Las Vegas Raiders: C-
The Raiders’ offense didn’t play their worst football of the season, but they could’ve played better, as they let a small halftime lead slip away in their 19-29 loss against the Denver Broncos. Gardner Minshew threw a touchdown against an interception but left the game with a broken collarbone and will miss the remainder of the 2024 season.
Sincere McCormick rushed for 33 yards on five carries, Ameer Abdullah rushed for 28 yards on eight carries, caught five receptions for 37 yards, and scored a touchdown, Brock Bowers caught four receptions for 38 yards, and Jakobi Meyers caught 10 receptions for 121 yards.
Meyers played well, and Bowers broke the Raiders rookie receptions record with 74 receptions for 744 yards, surpassing Amari Cooper’s previous record of 72 receptions during his rookie year. Former Atlanta Falcons’ quarterback Desmond Ridder needs to step up in Minshew’s absence, as his season is over due to his broken collarbone.
Los Angeles Chargers: C
The Chargers’ offense played a decent game, which could’ve gone better as they fell to the Baltimore Ravens 23-30. Justin Herbert threw no touchdowns or interceptions and scored a rushing touchdown, J.K. Dobbins rushed for 40 yards on six carries but left the game with a knee injury, Gus Edwards rushed for 11 yards on nine carries and scored a rushing touchdown, and Ladd McConkey caught six receptions for 83 yards.
The Chargers’ rushing attack needs to improve against strong defenses, and if Dobbins is out long-term, Edwards and the other Chargers’ running backs need to step up in his absence.
Los Angeles Rams: C
The Rams’ offense tried to put up a fight against the Philadelphia Eagles but ultimately lost 20-37 at home. Matthew Stafford threw two touchdowns against no interceptions but was sacked five times. Kyren Williams rushed for 72 yards on 16 carries and scored a touchdown, Puka Nacua caught nine receptions for 117 yards, Cooper Kupp caught eight receptions for 60 yards and scored a touchdown, and Demarcus Robinson caught two receptions for 15 yards and scored a touchdown.
This NFL team’s offense played fairly but was outplayed and outscored by the more superior Eagles all game.
Miami Dolphins: A-
The Dolphins’ offense looked sharp as they dismantled the New England Patriots 34-15. Tua Tagovailoa threw four touchdowns with no interceptions, De’Von Achane rushed for 32 yards on 10 carries, caught three receptions for 24 yards, and scored two touchdowns. The Dolphins’ rushing attack was held to a combined 65 yards on the ground. Meanwhile, Jaylen Waddle caught eight receptions for 144 yards and scored a touchdown, and Jonnu Smith caught nine receptions for 87 yards and scored a touchdown.
The Dolphins’ offense dominated from the start of the game until the end, despite the Patriots attempting a fourth-quarter comeback. The Dolphins travel north in week 13 for a Thanksgiving showdown in Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers.
Minnesota Vikings: B+
The Vikings’ offense had their work cut out for them as they narrowly defeated the Chicago Bears in an intense 30-27 overtime victory. Sam Darnold threw two touchdowns against no interceptions, Aaron Jones rushed for 106 yards on 22 carries and scored a touchdown, Jordan Addison caught eight receptions for 162 yards and scored a touchdown, Justin Jefferson caught two receptions for 27 yards, and Jalen Nailor caught a reception for five yards and scored a touchdown.
Jefferson may have been held by the Bears’ defense, but Addison stepped up for the Vikings as they defeated their NFC North foes. The Vikings return home in week 13 and will welcome the Arizona Cardinals to town.
New England Patriots: D
The Patriots’ offense had a rough afternoon, as they were dismantled by the Miami Dolphins 34-15. Drake Maye threw a touchdown against an interception, the Patriots’ rushing attack was held to a combined 86 yards on the ground, DeMario Douglas caught five receptions for 62 yards, and Austin Hooper caught four receptions for 59 yards and scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Maye may have shown flashes of hope, but the supporting cast around him let him down, and he couldn’t get any momentum going until the fourth quarter of the game, which was too little too late.
New Orleans Saints: Bye Week
The Saints’ offense looked good in their last two games under interim head coach Darren Rizzi and are playing good football… for now. This NFL team’s offense returns to action in week 13 and will welcome the Los Angeles Rams to town.
New York Giants: D-
The Giants’ offense had a rough afternoon, as they were flattened 7-30 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tommy DeVito threw no touchdowns or interceptions, Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed for 42 yards on nine carries, Devin Singletary rushed for three yards on two carries and scored the team’s only touchdown in the fourth quarter, and Malik Nabers caught six receptions for 64 yards.
A very bad afternoon for the Giants’ offense, as the struggles continue, thanks to their abysmal offensive line allowing four sacks against DeVito. Changes need to be made once the 2025 offseason begins so that the Giants’ offense can have a fresh start in the 2025 NFL season.
New York Jets: Bye Week
The Jets’ offense has had a disastrous 2024 season so far, and it doesn’t appear to be getting better. Luckily, the Jets have Breece Hall and Davante Adams making good plays so far. The Jets return to action in week 13 and will host the Seattle Seahawks coming to town.
Philadelphia Eagles: A
The Eagles’ offense had themselves a wild night in Hollywood, as they defeated the Los Angeles Rams 37-20 in dominating fashion. Jalen Hurts threw a touchdown against no interceptions, Saquon Barkley had the night of his life as he rushed for 255 yards on 26 carries and scored two rushing touchdowns, Kenneth Gainwell rushed for 22 yards on five carries and scored a touchdown, and A.J. Brown caught six receptions for 109 yards and scored a touchdown.
Barkley’s incredible performance helped the offense run the Rams out of their stadium and earned their seventh straight win in dominating fashion.
Pittsburgh Steelers: C-
The Steelers’ offense played an okay match-up against the Cleveland Browns but were thwarted by the Browns in a 19-24 loss, despite their comeback attempt in the end. Russell Wilson threw a touchdown pass against no interceptions but was sacked four times, Jaylen Warren rushed for 45 yards on 11 carries and scored a rushing touchdown, Najee Harris rushed for 41 yards on 16 carries, and Calvin Austin III caught three receptions for 78 yards and scored a touchdown.
Despite the good performance from Austin III, the Steelers’ offense had some trouble squaring off against the Browns’ defense.
San Francisco 49ers: D
The 49ers’ offense had a rough afternoon, as they fell flat in their 10-38 loss in Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. Backup quarterback Brandon Allen, filling in for Brock Purdy, who is dealing with right shoulder soreness, threw a touchdown against an interception. Christian McCaffrey rushed for 31 yards on 11 carries while the rest of the 49ers’ rushing attack was held to a combined 44 yards on the ground, and George Kittle caught six receptions for 82 yards and scored the team’s only touchdown in the second quarter.
For the majority of the game, the 49ers were kept out of the end zone yet managed to get a field goal in the third quarter. Struggles and injury woes have hurt this offense at the worst time possible, as their NFL season is slowly beginning to implode.
Seattle Seahawks: C+
The Seahawks’ offense had an okay afternoon at home, as they managed to defeat the Arizona Cardinals 16-6. Geno Smith threw a touchdown against an interception, Kenneth Walker III rushed for 41 yards on 16 carries, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught six receptions for 77 yards and scored a touchdown.
Not the worst showing from the Seahawks’ offense, as they managed to outplay the Cardinals and earn the win against a divisional opponent, which is all that matters in the end.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: A-
The Bucs’ offense had a great game at MetLife Stadium as they made quick work of the woeful New York Giants in their 30-7 victory. Baker Mayfield didn’t throw a touchdown or interception, but he did score a rushing touchdown. Bucky Irving rushed for 87 yards on 12 carries and scored a touchdown, Rachaad White rushed for 37 yards on 12 carries and scored a touchdown, Sean Tucker rushed for three yards on four carries and scored a touchdown, and Mike Evans returned to action and caught five receptions for 68 yards.
A great offensive effort by the Bucs, as the rushing attack was on point against the struggling Giants’ defense.
Tennessee Titans: B-
The Titans’ offense had a very good game in the Lone Star State, as they defeated the Houston Texans 32-27. Will Levis threw two touchdowns against an interception but was sacked eight times, Tony Pollard rushed for 119 yards on 24 carries and scored a touchdown, Calvin Ridley caught five receptions for 93 yards, Chig Okonkwo caught a reception for 70 yards and scored a touchdown, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine caught two receptions for 48 yards and scored a touchdown.
The Titans’ offense played well and kept up with their AFC South rivals despite a couple of fumbles, eight sacks against Will Levis, and his interception returned for a 65-yard pick-six by Texans safety Jimmie Ward.
Washington Commanders: C
The Commanders’ offense tried to put up a fight in the first three-quarters of their NFL contest against the Dallas Cowboys but ultimately couldn’t keep up with the Cowboys’ comeback attempt in the fourth quarter and lost 26-34. Jayden Daniels threw two touchdowns against two interceptions and scored a rushing touchdown, Jerry McNichols rushed for 22 yards on three carries, Terry McLaurin caught five receptions for 102 yards and scored a touchdown, and Zach Ertz caught six receptions for 38 yards and scored a touchdown.
A decent offensive performance by the Commanders, but they couldn’t keep up with the Cowboys, as they collapsed in the fourth quarter.
