The Best NFL Offenses and Defenses of the last Eleven Years

Everyone wants their team to have the best offense or defense. We all want them to be the greatest ever. You want your offense to pile up points and gain yards at an alarming rate, in other words to be unstoppable. We all want our defense to be like the “85 Bears defense, to be talked about as being one of the greatest in NFL history.


   We here at ProFootball Ranking.com took a look at the best of the best, on offense and defense for the last eleven years. We used the PFR.com ranking method to choose which teams were the best on Offense and Defense. A PFR.com score of 100 or less was needed to be considered the best.

  There was no team on offense that scored 100 or below in 2008, 2013, and 2014.
There were two teams that scored below 100 in 2004, 2005, and 2006.

   There were no defensive teams that made this list in 2005, 2007, and 2014. There were 2 teams in 2004, 3 teams in 2008, and 3 teams in 2013.

  We compare PFR.com Ranking with the Traditional NFL (Yards Only) Ranking and Points Scored\Allowed ranking method. Remember the Points method is points the offense scored and points the defense allowed. Kickoff and Punts returned for TD are not counted as are Interceptions and Fumbles returned for TD’s  Extra Points or PAT’s are not included. Strength of Schedule is also included.

    It is interesting to see that out of the 24 teams that are on this list of the Best of the Best, that only seven of these teams played in the Super Bowl and only four won the Super Bowl.

    It appears that having a great offense or defense doesn’t guarantee anything.

    If you are interested in churning numbers this is a good page for you to spend some time.
