We have seen jaw-dropping rookie years from QBs over the last season. Who had the better year: C.J. Stroud in 2023 or Jayden Daniels in 2024.

Officiating nugget: Referee Ron Torbert's regular-season crew averaged 17.1 flags per game, third most in the NFL. That includes 49 for offensive holding, which was the fourth most of any crew.

One round of the 2025 NFL Playoffs is over and now we'll turn our attention to the NFL Divisional Round, which begins on Saturday with a pair of games. The action begins with the Kansas City Chiefs at home against the Houston Texans at 4:30 p.

Former Indianapolis Colts’ quarterback, Andrew Luck, no longer holds the NFL record for most offensive yards by a rookie, including the playoffs. That title now belongs to Washington Commanders’ quarterback Jayden Daniels.

Saturday’s game ended in a familiar way, with the Chiefs securing a 23-14 win and a spot in the AFC Championship Game. The Texans kept it close and had their chances but didn't capitalize. Kicker Kaʻimi Fairbairn struggled, missing three kicks — a field goal wide right, a missed an extra point and a late blocked field goal.

Daniels threw two touchdown passes to lead the Commanders to a 23-20 win at Tampa Bay on Sunday night, joining Russell Wilson (2012), Mark Sanchez (2009) and Joe Flacco (2008) as the only rookie quarterbacks in the Super Bowl era to win a road playoff start.

After finishing QB11 in his rookie season, C.J. Stroud regressed in year two, finishing as the QB18 in 2024. Stroud still took the Texans to their second straight playoff berth despite the poor offensive numbers.

Two rookie quarterbacks made starts in the wild card round on Sunday. Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix struggled in a 31-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York.

Jayden Daniels has enjoyed arguably the NFL’s greatest rookie season of all time. The No. 2 overall draft selection in 2024 has become a hero in Washington, leading the Commanders to their most wins since 1991 and the franchise’s first playoff victory in 19 years.
