The Highest-Rated Teams In ‘Madden NFL 20’ Are Announced, And, Finally, The Patriots Aren’t The Best

Madden NFL 20 is one of the most anticipated video games all year long, as NFL fans literally set reminders on their phones about when the release date is. For those who might not know, it’s August 2, but you can already pre-order the popular game online — which you should do, because, c’mon, you don’t want to be the one guy who doesn’t have it the second it comes out, right?

While there have been plenty of reactions already to news regarding Madden NFL 20 — like who the top-rated players are and, more so, actual NFL stars being pissed off with their overall ratings — we had yet to find out which teams were the best to play with. Of course, if you can tell by the headline, that changes here, because EA Sports finally announced the top-rated teams in the game, so take a look at the top-5 highest-rated teams that you’ll probably be playing with the most.

1. Philadelphia Eagles – 89
2. Dallas Cowboys – 88
3. New Orleans Saints – 87
4. New England Patriots – 87
5. Green Bay Packers – 87

It might be surprising to see that last year’s NFC Champion Los Angeles Rams aren’t in that group — while teams like the Eagles and Packers are — but, hey, talent evaluators at EA Sports probably have their reasons for that.
