The Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots will enter the 2016 season as the best teams in the NFL, according to Madden NFL 17. EA Sports has revealed the Overall Ratings for all 32 teams, as well as how they stack up on both offense and defense.
The best offensive team in the league is the Pittsburgh Steelers, who in real life would feature an incredibly potent attack if their players could keep from getting suspended. In the video game, they're all on the base roster, so the suspensions are not factors in the ratings. Defensively, the Kansas City Chiefs rate the highest, rather than the Broncos or Seahawks.
