NFL Power Rankings: The Top Offensive Lines
Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Spencer Brown (79), Buffalo Bills guard O’Cyrus Torrence (64), Buffalo Bills guard Connor McGovern (66) and Buffalo Bills guard David Edwards (76) get ready to line up during first half action at the Bills home game against the New York Jets at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park on Dec. 29, 2024.

Through the first month of the season, offensive line play has already shaped the identity of several teams across the league. Some units are proving to be the backbone of their offenses, keeping quarterbacks clean and opening running lanes, while others are struggling to find consistency or dealing with injury. Here’s a look at our Week 5 offensive line power rankings!

Week 5 Offensive Line Power Rankings

1. Broncos: Continue to be dominant, allowing zero sacks on 45 Bo Nix drop-backs.

2. Colts: Allowing this offense to flourish and continuing to elevate the other units.


Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (28) is helped up after scoring a touchdown against the Tennessee Titans during the first quarter at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025.

3. Lions : Have not allowed a sack since Week 1, which has kept Jared Goff upright and allowed him to make big plays down the field.


From left, Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (11), right tackle Penei Sewell (58), quarterback Jared Goff (16) and defensive tackle DJ Reader (98) get ready to take the field for first half against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Md. on Monday, Sept. 22, 2025.

4. Bills : Ryan Van Demark took over for the injured Spencer Brown and looked good, posting the highest PFF run-blocking grade of all Bills linemen.

5. Eagles: Have not been nearly as dominant this season, with Saquon averaging only 3.1 YPC.

6. Buccaneers : Tristan Wirfs is back and better than ever; would not be surprised if this unit finishes the year in the top 5.

9. Chargers: Huge loss with Joe Alt likely headed to IR. This would be a top 3 unit if fully healthy.

10. Ravens : Injury issues continue with Ronnie Stanley exiting early against the Chiefs. Good chance this unit falls out of the top 10 next week as they face a tough Houston defense.
