The Buffalo Bills sit No. 1 in PFM's 2026 NFL Team Explosiveness Rankings at 90.7. With Josh Allen at quarterback, the Bills don't need a 12-play drive to hurt you. One big play can flip the field or put points on the board in a hurry.
PFM has the Buffalo Bills No. 1 at 90.7 in Explosiveness, 7 spots ahead of their No. 8 overall rank. With Josh Allen at quarterback, the offense does not need every drive to stay perfect to create points in a hurry.
PFM has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers No. 9 in Explosiveness but No. 20 overall, a 11-spot gap. That does not erase why PFM is lower on Tampa Bay Buccaneers overall, but it does mean this offense can create a problem faster than the overall team rank suggests.
PFM has the San Francisco 49ers No. 5 overall but No. 17 in Explosiveness. PFM still gives the offense a 85.0 grade, so Brock Purdy and company can win without needing to rank near the top of the league in big-play danger.

PFM's Offense Rating asks how good the attack is overall. Explosiveness is narrower. It asks how quickly that offense can flip the field, create a chunk play or score before a defense has time to settle in. A team can still have a strong offense without living on big plays every week.
