The best and worst of the 2023-24 NFL season

The Ravens outscored their opponents by more than 200 points this season, or nearly 12 points per game. Their offense finished fourth in points scored behind Dallas, Miami and San Francisco. The Ravens' defense held opponents to 16.5 points per game—about a point better than the second-place Kansas City Chiefs.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Washington Commanders, who fired head coach Ron Rivera on Monday, gave up the most points on defense—nine touchdowns worse than the 31st-ranked Arizona Cardinals. The New England Patriots and the two-win Carolina Panthers tied for lowest-scoring teams this season. Both averaged about 14 points per game.

The Patriots' future with Bill Belichick remains murky, but on Monday, the coach finally addressed the possibility of giving up personnel control to remain with team: "Look, I'm for whatever we decide collectively as an organization is the best thing to help our football team."
