The team ratings are finally here.
With EA Sports unveiling the official team overalls for Madden NFL 27, players now have a clear picture of which franchises are built to dominate at launch. While individual player ratings and X-Factors always spark debate, team overall ratings tell the bigger story—how complete each roster is from top to bottom.
Some teams boast explosive offenses capable of lighting up the scoreboard. Others rely on elite defenses to create turnovers and control the game. Then there are the few franchises that have found the perfect balance between both.
Here’s how every NFL team stacks up heading into Madden NFL 27.
