NFL.com predicted the 10 best offenses in 2025 and left the Cardinals off the list, although they definitely can do it.
The Arizona Cardinals weren’t an elite offensive squad a year ago, but they were pretty solid. They finished the season 12th in points and 11th in yards, although some of those points did come from special teams.
They had a good but not great year from quarterback Kyler Murray and both running back James Conner and tight end Trey McBride had career seasons.
Looking ahead to 2025, NFL.com’s Gennaro Filice predicted the 10 best offenses in the coming season. He left out the Cardinals.
His top 10:
- Buffalo Bills
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Baltimore Ravens
- Washington Commanders
- Detroit Lions
- Denver Broncos
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Green Bay Packers
- Cincinnati Bengals
- Kansas City Chiefs
The Cardinals are scheduled to face the Bucs, Packers and Bengals in 2025.
Arizona should be in that list. Perhaps they should not be expected to be that, but they certainly have the talent. McBride and Conner should be just as good. Second-year running back Trey Benson is ready to add more to the running game, giving them potentially a real 1-2 punch. Marvin Harrison Jr. should be better, and that will allow for better production from the other receivers.
On top of that, their defense should be significantly better, which will put the offense in much better position to score points.
If the Cardinals are what they believe they can be, they will end up in the top 10 by the end of it all.
