A Non-Quarterback Wins MVP: For the first time since 2012, a non-quarterback could take home the MVP award. I am going to say a defensive player wins MVP! T.J. Watt racks up 24 sacks in 2024 to break the record set by Michael Strahan.
A Rookie Quarterback Leads Their Team to the Playoffs: One of the rookie quarterbacks could have a breakout season, leading their team to an unexpected playoff berth, defying the usual struggles that first-year QBs face. That quarterback is one not even being talked about right now, that quarterback is Spencer Rattler of the Saints!
An Unexpected Team Makes a Deep Playoff Run: The New York Jets will go from a team that did not make the playoffs to making the playoffs and win more than one game in the playoffs. Aaron Rodgers looks like the old Aaron Rodgers.
A Major Star Gets Traded Mid-Season: In a surprising move, a high-profile player is traded mid-season. That player is Maxx Crosby. The Raiders trade Madd Maxx in the middle of the season. Crosby goes to a playoff team, and it works out well.
A Kicker Breaks the Longest Field Goal in NFL History: Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates breaks Justin Tucker’s 66-yard filed goal by two yards. Bates is able to hit a 68-yard field goal going into halftime of a regular season game.
