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 where the top offensive lines stand heading into this week.

The Elite:

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.

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.

Near The Top:

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.

Good But Not Great:

7. Falcons: Offense explodes after a horrible performance last week. This is one of the most consistent offensive lines in the league.

8. Vikings: Poor performance against the Steelers, giving up 6 sacks. Hopefully, they can get back on track next week.

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.
