The latest edition of the Madden NFL franchise was released worldwide by EA Sports this past Friday with fans all over the world returning to the virtual gridiron. Madden 21 expands on the Superstar and X-Factor abilities system, which made its debut in Madden 20, with dozens of new abilities designed to make the NFL’s stars feel like stars in Madden.
In this Dunkin’ Duos video series powered by Dunkin’, antcap24, of Fandom’s Muthead.com, explores Madden 21 rosters to identify players that dominate as a duo. These players have a greater impact on the field as a pair than either player would have on their own because of their unique ratings and abilities.
Kansas City Chiefs
The reigning Super Bowl champions have what many consider to be the most dominant duo currently available in Madden 21. Patrick Mahomes’s throw power and deep throwing accuracy, combined with Tyreek Hill’s league-best 99 speed, are a big reason why the Chiefs’ offense is so explosive.
San Francisco 49ers
As much as the Chiefs are known for their offense, the 49ers are known for their dominant defense. Nick Bosa and Arik Amrstead come with complementary Superstar abilities designed to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
New Orleans Saints
It’s no surprise that once again, the Saints have one of the most high-powered offenses in Madden. Both Mike Thomas and Alvin Kamara come with Superstar abilities that expand their hot route trees and allow them to attack all areas of the field.
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys have had one of the most dominant offensive lines in football for the past several seasons and the battle in the trenches is more important than ever in the new Madden. Tyron Smith and Zack Martin lock down both sides of the offensive line to protect Dak Prescott and lead the way for Zeke Elliot.
New England Patriots
The Patriots might not have Tom Brady anymore, but they still have one of the best defensive secondaries in Madden 21. Stephon Gilmore and Devin McCourty come with a combined nine Superstar and X-Factor abilities that allow them to lock down half of the field.
Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens, led by cover athlete Lamar Jackson, rival the Chiefs in terms of offensive firepower. Jackson’s Superstar abilities pair perfectly with his tight end, Mark Andrews, to keep the chains moving in Madden 21.
