NFL Honors Predictions

 


The NFL Honors presentation will take place next week. Each year, the NFL hands out big regular season honors prior to the Super Bowl. Below is the list of finalists and my predictions about who will win the big awards.

Most Valuable Player

Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills 

Lamar Jackson, QB, Baltimore Ravens 

Christian McCaffrey, RB, San Francisco 49ers 

Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys 

Brock Purdy, QB, San Francisco 49ers

Prediction: I think Lamar Jackson will win the award this year.


Offensive Player of the Year

Tyreek Hill, WR, Miami Dolphins 

Lamar Jackson, QB, Baltimore Ravens 

CeeDee Lamb, WR, Dallas Cowboys  

Christian McCaffrey, RB, San Francisco 49ers 

Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys

Prediction: A lot of possibilities here. Had Tyreek crossed 2,000, I think he would have won. Instead, I think this goes to McCaffrey.


Defensive Player of the Year

DaRon Bland, CB, Dallas Cowboys 

Maxx Crosby, DE Las Vegas Raiders 

Myles Garrett, DE, Cleveland Browns 

Micah Parsons, LB, Dallas Cowboys 

T.J. Watt, LB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Prediction: A couple good options here, but I'm going with Bland. His record on INT returns for a TD stands out.


Offensive Rookie of the Year

Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Detroit Lions 

Sam LaPorta, TE, Detroit Lions 

Puka Nacua, WR, Los Angeles Rams 

Bijan Robinson, RB, Atlanta Falcons 

C.J. Stroud, QB, Houston Texans

Prediction: All good options, but I'm going with Stroud here.


Defensive Rookie of the Year

Will Anderson, DE, Houston Texans 

Jalen Carter, DT, Philadelphia Eagles 

Joey Porter Jr., CB, Pittsburgh Steelers 

Kobie Turner, DT, Los Angeles Rams 

Devon Witherspoon, CB, Seattle Seahawks

Prediction: I think this could be a big night for the Texans, so I'm going with Anderson.


Comeback Player of the Year

Joe Flacco, QB, Cleveland Browns 

Damar Hamlin, S, Buffalo Bills 

Baker Mayfield, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

Matthew Stafford, QB, Los Angeles Rams 

Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Miami Dolphins

Prediction: Some good performances here, but I think the momentum is for Hamlin. 


Coach of the Year

Dan Campbell, Detroit Lions 

John Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens 

DeMeco Ryans, Houston Texans 

Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers 

Kevin Stefanski, Cleveland Browns

Prediction: I think it comes down to Stefanski and Ryans, but I'm going with Ryans here.


Assistant Coach of the Year

Ben Johnson, OC, Detroit Lions 

Mike Macdonald, DC, Baltimore Ravens

Todd Monken, OC, Baltimore Ravens 

Jim Schwartz, DC, Cleveland Browns 

Bobby Slowik, OC, Houston Texans

Prediction: I'm going with Schwartz. I think what the Browns' defense did to help them achieve will get him recognition.

AFI 100 Years, 100 Movies: No. 23

Image
Back in 1998, the American Film Institute unveiled its list of the 100 greatest films as voted on by members of the cinematic community. The year, I'm looking at the films on that list, re-ranked according to my preference. Check back Fridays and Saturdays throughout the year as we walk through this list of classic films. Henry Hill : [Narrating] As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. Goodfellas (1990) Original List Position : 94 Starring : Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, and Joe Pesci Director : Martin Scorsese About : Scorsese has been a fixture on this list. We've seen him deliver masterpieces in different decades and genres. That's the case with Goodfellas, which is another of his signature films. It was No. 94 on the original list, moving to No. 92 just 10 years later. I have it significantly higher, and I have it as my highest of his films on this list. It's a very different kind of mafia movie than The Godfather , and yet it feels like the c...

2026 Broncos' Season, Week 5

Image
Week 5: Denver Broncos 23, Los Angeles Chargers 17 Season Record: 3-2 (2-0 Home) Key Play: In the fourth quarter, with time winding down and the Broncos leading 20-17, Justin Herbert threw and interception to Brandon Jones on fourth down. The play allowed the Broncos to milk the clock and kick a field goal to push the lead to six points. Recap: Sean Payton took over the playcalling because there was "meat left on the bone" with the offense. It didn't look like an improvement on Sunday. The team looked lost for most of the game, then used some Special Teams and defensive intensity to manage a comeback and a win. I'm not sure winning is the best thing for this team. Don't get me wrong, I like to win. But this team played badly. They look bad. And getting a win feels like a reward for bad behavior. That's not the kind of football that helps you get to and win in the playoffs. This team feels lost and the offense feels like a mess. A Thursday matchup with the Sea...

1991 Rewind: City Slickers

Image
It's hard to believe, but 1991 was 35 years ago. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be looking at some stand out films from 1991 that are turning 35 in 2026. Today, it's a classic comedy. Mitch Robbins : Value this time in your life kids, because this is the time in your life when you still have your choices, and it goes by so quickly. When you're a teenager you think you can do anything, and you do. Your twenties are a blur. Your thirties, you raise your family, you make a little money and you think to yourself, "What happened to my twenties?" Your forties, you grow a little pot belly you grow another chin. The music starts to get too loud and one of your old girlfriends from high school becomes a grandmother. Your fifties you have a minor surgery. You'll call it a procedure, but it's a surgery. Your sixties you have a major surgery, the music is still loud but it doesn't matter because you can't hear it anyway. Seventies, you and the wife r...
