The 10 Best NFL Offenses of the Last Decade

2014 Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers had a very strong 2014 season, finishing 12-4 with a first-round bye in the playoffs, before losing in the NFC Championship to the Seattle Seahawks.

Despite missing out on the Super Bowl, the Packers boasted the best offense in the league that year, finishing first in both NEP per play (0.17) and Passing NEP per play (0.29) while also finishing above league-average in Rushing NEP per play (with a 0.01).

At the helm for Green Bay was Aaron Rodgers, who led the league with a 188.41 Passing NEP 0.34 Passing NEP per drop back.

The league-leading passing attack was also bolstered by Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson. Both recorded career-high yardage numbers, while Nelson scored 13 touchdowns and Cobb scored a career-high 12. They also both ranked top-10 in Reception NEP and Reception NEP per target. Cobb was the more efficient of the two, with a 0.94 Reception NEP per target to Nelson's 0.93, but Nelson amassed a higher total, with a 140.50 (good for fourth in the NFL) compared to Cobb's 119.13 (seventh in the NFL).

Eddie Lacy wasn't especially efficient in what was his sophomore campaign, with a -0.03 Rushing NEP per carry that ranked 20th among the 43 backs to see at least 100 carries, but he showed some ability in the passing game that didn't shine through in his rookie season, recording 4 receiving touchdowns and posting a 0.63 Reception NEP per target.

The league's best offense fell to the NFC's best defense in the playoffs, when the Packers lost to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game, but the formidable passing attack that Rodgers, Nelson, and Cobb formed will not soon be forgotten.
