  • NFL 2025-26 Midseason Awards.

    We are just over halfway done with the 2025-26 NFL Season.

    Anybody saying they knew that the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts would be 8-2 is a liar.

    Nobody thought the Carolina Panthers would be 2nd in the NFC South (5-5).

    Who really thought that the Denver Broncos (8-2) AND Los Angelos Chargers (7-3), would be ahead of the 3rd place Kansas City Chiefs 5-4) in the AFC West?

    Of course, we all knew that my Cleveland Browns were going to just stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink, but even I didn’t think we’d be this terrible on offense.

    For the best coffee and lattes in all of Van Wert County, Ohio; stop into The Rebel Bean today. Check out their Facebook page for hours and drink menu. You can also find them on the Joe.coffee app as well.

    All of this just adds more questions than answers.

    Is Colts QB Daniel Jones’ starting to look like he was in New York?

    Can Colts running back Jonathan Taylor win the NFL MVP Award (almost always a QB Award anymore)?

    How many more head coaches will be fired during the season (New York Giants fired Brain Daboll on Monday)? I predicted this would happen in my NFL Season Preview Article.

    It has been an absolutely topsy-turvy, crazy season so far, and I am 100% for all of it.

    So, without further ado, I give you the REAL NFL 25-26 mid-season awards.

    Most Valuable Player – Drake Maye, QB, New England Patriots.

    New England Patriots quarterback in action, looking for an open receiver while holding the football.

    The 2nd year quarterback has thrown for 2,555 yards, with 19 TDs to 5 INTs. He has a QBR of 72.9 and is completing 71.7% of his throws.

    He’s led the Patriots to 1st place in the AFC East, over the much favored and talked about Buffalo Bills.

    He’s even added 283 yards on the ground with 2 TDs.

    He’s not making the mistakes he did as a rookie, and he’s been dominating so far this season.

    Runner up – Jonathan Taylor, HB, Indianapolis Colts.

    Offensive Player of the Year – Jonathan Taylor, HB, Indianapolis Colts.

    Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor running with the football during a game.

    No running back has had a start to the season like this, since Adrian Peterson did in 2012.

    Jonathan Taylor has been an absolute animal this season.

    Unstoppable, even with 9 guys in the box.

    He has 189 carries, for 1,139 yards, with 15 TDs, and most importantly, 0 fumbles.

    He’s averaging 113.9 yards per game and 6 yards per carry.

    He is the engine that is carrying this surprising Colts team.

    Runner up – Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seattle Seahawks.

    Defensive Player of the Year – Myles Garrett, DE, Cleveland Browns.

    Cleveland Browns player Myles Garrett holding his helmet while looking serious on the sideline during a game.

    NFL head coaches openly admit that they have an entire play sheet for when Myles Garrett is either on or off the field.

    He completely changes the way a head coach coaches the game.

    Garrett is tied for the league lead in sacks with 11.

    He also leads the NFL in TFLs (tackles for loss) with 15.

    This is his 8th consecutive season with double-digit sacks.

    He has 34 total tackles, and 1 forced fumble.

    Runner up – Brian Burns, LB, New York Giants.

    Offensive Rookie of the Year – Emeka Egbuka, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers player wearing a white jersey with the number 2, standing on the field with a serious expression.

    The rookie wide receiver out of Ohio State leads the team in receptions (40), yards (677) and TDs (6).

    He’s had to step into that #1 receiver role with injuries to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin Jr.

    He’s become QB Baker Mayfield’s “go to guy” in the biggest situations.

    Runner up – Tyler Warren, TE, Indianapolis Colts.

    Defensive Rookie of the Year – Carson Schwesinger, LB, Cleveland Browns.

    Cleveland Browns player wearing a white uniform with the number 49, smiling during a game, with teammates in the background.

    The rookie out of UCLA, leads all rookies with 74 tackles.

    He wears the “green dot” for Browns hard-nosed defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz.

    He’s all over the field.

    He can cover TEs and slot WRs, as well as fill the gaps on blitzs.

    He also has 1.5 sacks and 1 INT.

    Runner up – Xavier Watts, S, Atlanta Falcons.

    Head Coach of the Year – Mike Vrabel, New England Patriots.

    A press conference setting featuring a man in a suit and tie, smiling while speaking into a microphone, with a backdrop displaying the New England Patriots logo and branding.

    Vrabel has taken a struggling quarterback, and turned him into an MVP candidate.

    He has this team playing hard, tough, and fundamentally sound on both offense and defense.

    As I said earlier in this article, NOBODY foresaw the Patriots being 8-2, and that all starts with head coach Mike Vrabel.

    Runner up – Shane Steichen, Indianapolis Colts.
