2. New Orleans Saints

Adjusted NEP/P: 0.145 (2nd)
Adjusted Passing NEP/P: 0.237 (6th)
Adjusted Rushing NEP/P: 0.016 (11th)

No Jimmy Graham? No problem.

Despite a rocky start to the season where Drew Brees missed Week 3 against Carolina with a shoulder injury, the Saints finished the year as the second best offense according to our Adjusted NEP per play metrics, showing the league that they still own one of the elite offenses in the NFL.

Highlighted by a seven touchdown game against the Giants in Week 8, Brees ended the 2015 season ranked as the sixth most efficient quarterback in the NFL, aiding the Saints in putting up a league-leading 4,970 passing yards.

Helped in large part by the emergence of wideout Willie Snead (who hauled in an impressive 984 receiving yards on the year) and stellar play by Mark Ingram and Tim Hightower (who each boasted a superb 0.07 Rushing NEP per play), the Saints were able to keep the offense rolling despite losing their top offensive weapons in Graham and Kenny Stills to offseason trades prior to the start of the season.
