The NFL is full of high-octane offenses and elite-level quarterbacks in both the AFC and NFC.
That said, which team has the best running of the bunch?
Emmanuel Acho gave his top five offenses in the league heading into the 2023/24 season on the Friday edition of “Speak”, and some of his picks may surprise you.
