Matthew Stafford is the NFL MVP.
The Rams quarterback took home the award after a standout season, leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns while guiding L.A. deep into the playoffs. It marks the first MVP win of his 17-year career.
The race was razor-thin. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye finished second, coming just behind Stafford in one of the closest MVP votes in years.
Rounding out the top three was Josh Allen, who also drew significant support after another strong season leading the Bills.
Mike Vrabel has pulled off one of the biggest turnarounds in NFL history — and it just earned him Coach of the Year.
The New England Patriots head coach took home the honor at NFL Honors after leading a stunning one-season revival. The team went from back-to-back four-win seasons to a 14-3 record, tying for the league’s best mark.
It marked a 10-win improvement — one of the largest single-season jumps ever — as Vrabel reshaped the roster and helped elevate young quarterback Drake Maye into an MVP finalist.
Vrabel beat out several finalists, including Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, to claim the award — his second Coach of the Year honor and first with New England.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame has its newest class.
Former Saints quarterback Drew Brees, Cardinals legend Larry Fitzgerald, and Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly lead the five-person 2026 Hall of Fame class. All three got in during their first year of eligibility after dominant careers.
Brees retired as one of the most prolific passers in NFL history and a Super Bowl champion. Fitzgerald became one of the most respected and productive wide receivers ever, spending his entire career in Arizona. And Kuechly, despite a shorter career, was a tackling machine and Defensive Player of the Year who anchored Carolina’s defense for nearly a decade.
They’re joined in the class by two senior/contributor selections, rounding out the five inductees who will be enshrined in Canton later this year:
Adam Vinatieri (legendary Patriots/Colts kicker) and Roger Craig (49ers running back, part of the Joe Montana dynasty) were the other two inductees in that five-person class.
