The Bengals offense last year was 6th scoring and 9th overall.

They had a very very good offense last year, but I don't think you can call a 6th/9th offense "elite". Because then what does that make all the teams better than them?

I think the three "elite" offenses last year were the Lions (1st scoring/2nd overall), Ravens (3rd scoring/1st overall), and probably the Bucs as the third (4th scoring/3rd overall).

It's not an official standard by any means, but personally I think unless you're at least in the top 1/10th of the league, you're not elite at your position. (Top-3 QBs, Top-6 WRs, Top-3 RBs, Top-6 CBs, etc) I would extend that to the other stats as well, otherwise how can more than 10% of the league be elite? Or even over 28% in the instance of our yardage ranking.

They were 6th in points per play last year. That's a much better metric than ppg or ypg. 

And between 3 of the top 6 teams there is a .02 point per play difference. It's negligable. 

They are one of the best offenses in the league. Just leave it at that.
