Who's your pick for next season's MVP? Bowen: Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys. Prescott had more than 4,500 passing yards and threw 30 touchdowns this past season.

Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season began with a Thursday night contest between the Rams and Seahawks that had major playoff implications. Seattle converted two separate 2-point conversions in an OT win, ascending to the NFC's No. 1 seed before the final two weeks of the season. In the first game on Saturday, the Eagles started slow, then poured it on against the Commanders to win their second straight NFC East crown.

Still, this was his first start against an NFC East opponent, even if it was the defending Super Bowl champs. He hardly looked intimidated.
