Your 2025 NFL MVP is... [View all]

Matt Stafford!

At age 37 -- and in his 17th NFL season -- Stafford led the NFL in passing yards (4,707), touchdowns (46) and touchdown-interception radio (5.8). He threw for 313 more passing yards and 15 more touchdowns than New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who was the runner-up. Stafford's 2025 season was the eighth time in NFL history that a quarterback threw for at least 4,500 yards and 45 touchdowns in a season, according to ESPN Research. Six of the previous seven quarterbacks to do so won MVP. The only one who didn't was Drew Brees in 2011 as Aaron Rodgers also reached those thresholds that season. Stafford's touchdown-interception ratio was so low in part because he went eight games without throwing an interception in the middle of the season. During that stretch, Stafford threw 28 straight touchdowns without an interception. According to Elias, that is the longest streak by any player since play-by-play was first tracked in 1978.-- Sarah Barshop
