Key Storylines
- Mahomes’ Absence: Despite leading the Chiefs to a stellar 15-1 record, Patrick Mahomes was left off the roster, with Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and Lamar Jackson earning the AFC nods. Mahomes is averaging his fewest passing yards per game this season (245.5) and has thrown more interceptions (11) than his counterparts.
- Saquon Barkley’s Record-Breaking Year: Barkley became only the ninth player in NFL history to surpass 2,000 rushing yards in a season. Though he fell just short of breaking Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record, the Eagles opted to rest him in Week 18 after a league-high 345 carries this year.
- Surprises in the NFC: Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels turned heads with his Pro Bowl selection after an impressive debut season. Meanwhile, Sam Darnold’s resurgence with the Vikings secured his spot on the roster, defying preseason expectations.
Pro Bowl Games Return
