Coordinating an offense and calling plays in the NFL is a pressure-filled job.
If your team’s offense is clicking on all cylinders like Ben Johnson’s Detroit Lions and Kellen Moore’s Philadelphia Eagles, or if you’ve received unexpectedly good results from your quarterback, like the Minnesota Vikings’ Kevin O’Connell has with Sam Darnold, you can look like a genius.
On the other hand, if your quarterback and offense are underperforming, you could lose your job. Just ask Shane Waldron, who was recently replaced by Thomas Brown after a disappointing start to quarterback Caleb Williams’ career with the Chicago Bears.
There are seven weeks left this season, and the pressure will continue to build for coordinators and playcallers looking for a winning formula, while others might get a look at offseason head-coaching openings.
With that in mind, here’s what has gone right, what has gone wrong and the key to the second half for every offense in the NFL.

What has gone right? A lot has gone right for the Bills’ offense, and it starts with quarterback Josh Allen. Though Allen’s stats haven’t been the flashiest, he has put together a number of strong performances with a combination of playmakers. The offensive line has had a strong start, giving up sacks on only 3.8% of dropbacks, the lowest rate in the league.
What has gone wrong? Consistency. There have been real up-and-down moments for this offense. Sometimes, the Bills get in a rhythm early in games, while other times it takes fourth-quarter drives to look as if they are all on the same page. This is an area that has shown improvement as the season has progressed.
