Tier 1 — Elite Offensive Lines
1. Bills (Aaron Kromer)
LT Dion Dawkins
LG David Edwards
C Connor McGovern
RG O’Cyrus Torrence

Notes: Outside of the Week 12 matchup against Houston’s elite front — when Spencer Brown was playing through a significant shoulder injury — Buffalo has again fielded a top-tier offensive line. Much of that success stems from rare continuity, with just 11 unique offensive line combinations (tied for the fifth fewest in the NFL).
The unit’s peak performance has been slightly less consistent than last season due to a dip in pass protection and more erratic pocket presence from QB Josh Allen, but this remains an extremely well-coached group. They operate within a play-action-heavy passing game, pair it with a dynamic run-game structure, and still feature a top-five tackle duo league-wide.
2. Broncos (Zach Strief)
LT Garett Bolles
LG Ben Powers
C Alex Forsyth
RG Quinn Meinerz
RT Mike McGlinchey
Notes: Denver has produced elite offensive line play for two straight seasons under Sean Payton and Zach Strief, consistently maximizing the strengths of their personnel. The offense’s heavy use of play-action, screens, and quarterback movement reduces pure drop-back stress, but this unit would still hold up without schematic insulation.
Quinn Meinerz and Garett Bolles are true high-end starters, and there is no weak link across the five, aside from backup center Alex Forsyth in isolated, true drop-back situations. This is one of the most reliable lines in football entering the postseason.
Tier 2 — Very Good Offensive Lines
3. Bears (Dan Roushar)
LT Ozzy Trapilo
LG Joe Thuney
C Drew Dalman
RG Jonah Jackson
RT Darnell Wright
Notes: Chicago may be operating the most offensive line-friendly scheme in the NFL this season under head coach Ben Johnson. Johnson carried that reputation from Detroit and paired it with a complete personnel overhaul, resulting in consistently strong line play — particularly in the run game.
The tackles are more vulnerable than most units ranked this highly in true drop-back situations, but this is a dominant run-blocking group with an outstanding interior trio. With strong schematic guardrails in place, this line enters the playoffs as a legitimate “win because of” unit.
