Few things are more important to an NFL team’s success than the quality of its offensive line. Disastrous lines, or even singular weak-link mismatches, can determine the outcomes of games, while strong units provide an incredible advantage.
We monitored NFL offensive line play all season and highlighted each team's biggest weak-link players. With the 2025 NFL regular season in the books, here are the final rankings and each unit's best player.

1. Denver Broncos
Best lineup:
LT Garett Bolles
LG Ben Powers
C Luke Wattenberg
RG Quinn Meinerz
RT Mike McGlinchey
Unlike last year, the Broncos' offensive line faced several injuries in 2025. Left guard Ben Powers missed an extended period of time, while center Luke Wattenberg’s season ended early. However, the unit still performed well due to solid performances from Alex Palczewski at left guard and Alex Forsyth at center.
For the second season in a row, the Broncos fielded the most efficient pass-blocking offensive line. Denver’s unit gave up 137 pressures, including a league-low six sacks, leading to an 89.5 PFF pass-blocking efficiency rating. The Broncos' line was the only unit to allow fewer than 13 sacks this season.
Best player: Garett Bolles
Bolles earned a 90.8 PFF pass-blocking grade, the highest mark among all offensive tackles.
2. Indianapolis Colts
Best lineup:
LT Bernhard Raimann
LG Quenton Nelson
C Tanor Bortolini
RG Matt Goncalves
RT Braden Smith
The Colts' offensive line somewhat fell apart late in the season due to injuries, but before that, it was arguably the best front in the NFL. Indianapolis replaced center Ryan Kelly and guard Will Fries with Tanor Bortolini and Matt Goncalves, respectively, and both played at a very high level in 2025.
In fact, Bortolini was one of the top breakout players in the league, regardless of position. The Wisconsin product finished his first season as a full-timer starter with an 82.6 PFF overall grade, which ranked third among centers.
Best player: Quenton Nelson
Nelson’s 84.5 PFF overall grade this season ranked fourth among all guards.
3. Chicago Bears
Best lineup:
LT Ozzy Trapilo
LG Joe Thuney
C Drew Dalman
RG Jonah Jackson
RT Darnell Wright
The Bears' offensive line gave up a league-high 37 sacks in 2024, but the revamped unit surrendered only 13 sacks in 2025. Chicago allowed just 145 pressures on 643 snaps, leading to an 87.7 PFF pass-blocking efficiency rating, which ranked third in the NFL this season.
Third-year right tackle Darnell Wright continued to establish himself among the best run-blocking offensive linemen in the NFL. The former first-round pick finished the season with an 85.6 PFF run-blocking grade, which ranked seventh among all offensive tackles.
Best player: Joe Thuney
Thuney continues to showcase elite pass protection at the guard position. His 88.6 PFF pass-blocking grade led all guards in 2025.
