Seattle's Championship Run
โผKenneth Walker III rushed for 135 yards and was named Super Bowl LX MVP as the Seattle Seahawks dominated the New England Patriots 29-13. Mike Macdonald's defense was suffocating all season โ Drake Maye was sacked six times in the biggest game of his young career.
Matthew Stafford won the 2025 AP NFL MVP award, throwing for 46 touchdowns in arguably the greatest season of his career. The Rams' offense under Stafford and Sean McVay was the most efficient in the NFL all year.
Despite the Super Bowl loss, Drake Maye's emergence as New England's franchise QB was the feel-good story of the season. The Patriots got back to the Super Bowl faster than anyone expected โ Maye's ceiling is sky-high heading into 2026.
Josh Allen won the AP MVP in 2025 before this season started โ his regular season dominance is unquestioned. But Allen and the Bills still haven't broken through in the playoffs, and that narrative will define his legacy heading into 2026.
