The MVP battle was epic, with Stafford ultimately lifting the trophy
The NFL awards ceremony concluded perfectly, with several players recognized for their individual performances in the 2025 season.
Among the major award winners, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett garnered all 50 first-place votes, unanimously winning his second Defensive Player of the Year award. His 23 sacks this season set a new NFL record, leading to his nfl jersey being displayed in the Hall of Fame—a truly remarkable honor. In addition to his impressive sack statistics, Garrett also led the league this season with 33 behind-the-line tackles, and his 60 tackles and 39 quarterback hits were also career bests.
Meanwhile, the highly anticipated MVP race was largely between 37-year-old veteran Matthew Stafford and 23-year-old Drake Maye. Ultimately, Stafford, wearing a Los Angeles Rams jerseys, won his first MVP trophy by a narrow margin of 5 points.
