2025 Regular Season: A Year for the Record Books

The 2025 NFL regular season has concluded, and it will be remembered for historic defensive dominance and the emergence of new offensive superstars.

Myles Garrett: The Sack King

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett finally did it. With a massive 3-sack performance in Week 18 against the Ravens, Garrett finished the season with 23.0 sacks, breaking the official single-season record previously held by T.J. Watt and Michael Strahan (22.5).

Garrett is the runaway favorite for Defensive Player of the Year.

JSN Takes the Leap

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (JSN) solidified his status as a Tier 1 fantasy asset. He finished the season as the NFL's leading receiver:

  • 112 Receptions (2nd in NFL)
  • 1,793 Yards (1st in NFL)
  • 10 Touchdowns

He was the engine behind Seattle's 14-3 record and #1 NFC seed.

MVP Race: Stafford vs. Maye vs. Burrow

The MVP race is tighter than arguably any in recent memory:

  1. Matthew Stafford (Rams): 4,707 Yards, 46 TDs. The savvy veteran had a career renaissance.
  2. Joe Burrow (Bengals): Led league in passing yards (4,918).
  3. Drake Maye (Patriots): The rookie phenom led New England to a 14-3 record, arguably the most impressive team achievement.

Voting will be revealed at the NFL Honors ceremony before the Super Bowl.
