EA Sports has released the final Team of the Week for Madden NFL 26 alongside the Offensive and Defensive Player of the Month for December. Quarterback Brock Purdy has been named Offensive POTM, leading his San Francisco 49ers to three victories throughout December during which he accounted for 13 touchdowns in total. Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons secured the Defensive POTM honors for himself despite December being a mixed month for Tennessee, which went 2-2.

Running back is where people might think Dallas spends, but as true fans, we know better. Over five years, the Cowboys spent about $13 million at the position, and that includes returns, depth backs, and one-year flyers. Ezekiel Elliot, Ronald Jones, Corey Clement, Rico Dowdle, and Javonte Williams. None of these deals were meant to define the offense, they were meant to fill touches.

New England safety Malcolm Butler got there first with an interception at the 1. The Patriots (15-4) won their fourth of six Lombardi Trophies under coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady.

Who's your pick for next season's MVP? Bowen: Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys. Prescott had more than 4,500 passing yards and threw 30 touchdowns this past season.

The NFL's Most Valuable Player award will very likely come down to Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. Even if you agree that they were the two most valuable players in the league this season -- spoiler alert, I do not! -- there are several interesting questions beyond those two. While the NFL's MVP almost has to be a quarterback,

The week-to-week nature of the NFL lends itself quite naturally to missing the forest for the trees. You see a team one week, notice something about it, watch that same team a week or so later and notice the same thing again. And then you just figure that thing to be true -- that it's part of what defines that team.

"I had 23 quarterbacks on the ground that year," Allen said. "And they took it from me."

C.J. Stroud threw for a touchdown and ran for another, and Ka'imi Fairbairn's 43-yard field goal with 12 seconds left lifted the Houston Texans to a 38-30 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, extending Houston's winning streak to nine games and securing the No.5 seed in the AFC playoffs. The Texans clinched a third consecutive postseason berth despite resting key starters in the second half,
