NFL Honors will be held at the Palace of Fine Arts and air at 6 p.m. PT on NBC and NFL Network, with streaming available on Peacock. Actor Jon Hamm will host the NFL Honors, which will celebrate the league's top performances from the 2025 season and announce the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026 and the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.

A big reason the New England Patriots find themselves set to play the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX is the success of their pass rush, which leads the NFL in postseason sacks. Outside linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson has been helping spearhead the defensive unit in that department during the playoffs, with a team-high three sacks and 14 quarterback pressures, the second-highest total league wide.

The New England Patriots' offensive line has struggled in a major way across this playoff run. In each of their three games, they've allowed five sacks, something that happened just three times in their 17 regular-season games. Before the playoffs, they hadn't allowed five-plus sacks in a game since Week 9. While rookies Will Campbell and Jared Wilson have been inconsistent at best, right guard Mike Onwenu is playing his best football when it matters most.

"Every time we go out it's a must-win game," said Vrabel.

Much of the attention during Super Bowl week is usually on the star players like Drake Maye and Jaxon Smith-Njigba for good reason. But if history is any indication, some lesser-known players could have a big impact on the Super Bowl on Sunday between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. Milton Williams helped key a dominant defensive effort for the Philadelphia Eagles in a win last year over Kansas City, leading to his big free agent contract this offseason with New England.

"I think we have become a more diverse league across every platform including coaching, but we still have more work to do," Goodell said. "There's got to be more steps. We're reevaluating everything we're doing, including the accelerator program, including every aspect of our policies in our program to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow rather than yesterday. We need to be looking at that and why did we have those results this year?"

The crowd inside Gillette Stadium, as it would be for some much more important home games in January, went absolutely berserk. It was a sign of things to come for Henderson, who as the Patriots' speed compliment to running back Rhamondre Stevenson in the backfield, is uncatchable when he finds so much as a crease. He scored touchdowns on four runs of 50-plus yards this season, which is tied for the most by a rookie in NFL history.

F--- the outside,

"I can just tell you I'm all in on the Seahawks, I'm all in on this game," Kubiak said during Super Bowl Opening Night, "and whatever comes next, we'll deal with that on Monday."

I feel like he never lost it. He still had the charismatic energy and kept a smile on his face, he kept being positive. You wouldn't be able to know anything was going on with him. I appreciated everything that he showed throughout the process.

NBC announced Monday that the network will broadcast part of its pregame show before Sunday's game between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks from the island that used to be a site of a maximum security federal prison. The island has turned into a popular museum where more than 1 million visitors come each year.

Slam!

The problem with hiring as it relates to race in the NFL is not the Rooney Rule. The problem is not that the Rooney Rule is ineffective. That would be like saying that the problem with cancer is that you can't fix it with an aspirin. That is not about the limitations of aspirin, that's about the problem with cancer; and the NFL has a cancer of racism when it comes to hiring people at these levels.

As a rookie, he was the architect behind the Commanders' stunning run to the NFC Championship game. He was quite arguably the greatest first-year quarterback in NFL history. He was already being thrown into conversations as a top-five passer in the league and the best in the conference. He could do no wrong. Then, Year 2 happened. Jayden Daniels' second-year slump with Commanders has drawn wildly unfair criticism Daniels couldn't stay healthy, and Washington went 5-12.
