NFL Teams' Offensive Triplets Ranked Across League

Recent rankings by Sports Illustrated's Matt Verderame evaluated NFL teams based on their offensive 'triplets'—the starting quarterback, lead running back, and top wide receiver. The Detroit Lions ranked fifth with Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Amon-Ra St. Brown, praised for Goff's MVP-caliber play and Gibbs' breakout season. The San Francisco 49ers landed at seventh, but concerns were raised about Christian McCaffrey's health, which could impact the effectiveness of their trio with Brock Purdy and George Kittle. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' group of Baker Mayfield, Bucky Irving, and Mike Evans was recognized as the highest in the NFC South and ranked tenth overall, highlighting Mayfield's resurgence and Evans' consistent production. The Dallas Cowboys came in at thirteenth, with questions remaining about their running back position but optimism around Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. The rankings collectively reflect the evolving offensive strengths and uncertainties across the league's top teams.
