The Indianapolis Colts have been one of the biggest surprises of the 2025 NFL season. With an impressive 8-2 record—tied for the best in the league with the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos—the Colts have quickly established themselves as one of the top teams in the league. While quarterback

Robert Marvi, an NFL analyst, called Taylor’s dominance undeniable. “Jonathan Taylor’s performance is a game-changer. Five games with three touchdowns—more than 13 NFL teams have all season. This kind of dominance cannot be ignored in the MVP race.”
Marvi’s words highlight just how special Taylor’s impact has been this year.
As the MVP race heats up, there is growing support for Taylor to claim the award, despite the usual dominance of quarterbacks. Currently,
While quarterbacks have dominated the MVP race in recent years, Taylor is making a compelling case to break that trend. The last non-quarterback to win the MVP award was Adrian Peterson
in 2012, when he rushed for over 2,000 yards. Other non-quarterbacks who have won MVP in the 21st century include LaDainian Tomlinson, Shaun Alexander, and Marshall Faulk.
Taylor, who has battled injuries over the past few seasons, is now fully healthy and playing at a level we haven’t seen from him since his 2021 campaign, when he led the league in both rushing yards and touchdowns. This year, he’s been a model of consistency, proving that he’s not just one of the best running backs in the game but one of the best players period.
If the Colts continue their strong play and finish the season with the best record in the AFC, there’s no doubt that Jonathan Taylor will be at the top of the MVP conversation. His impact on the field, both as a runner and a leader, has been invaluable to the Colts’ success this year.
Carlie Irsay, President of the Indianapolis Colts, expressed her support for Taylor’s MVP bid:
“Jonathan Taylor has been a key driver of our success this season. His leadership and performance make him a top contender for MVP. We’re proud of his impact on and off the field, and he truly deserves recognition as one of the most valuable players in the league.”
– Carlie Irsay, President of Indianapolis Colts.
With Jonathan Taylor continuing to dominate and the Colts firmly in the playoff hunt, this could very well be the year that a running back breaks the quarterback stranglehold on the MVP award. His historic season is far from over, and if he keeps up this pace, the MVP could be his for the taking.
“Buffalo’s offense is sputtering, and some fans are wondering if Brian Daboll could be the cure for what ails them.”
The Buffalo Bills (6-3) have been struggling offensively, with their most recent lackluster performance coming in a 30-13 defeat to the Miami Dolphins. Despite facing one of the league’s worst defenses, Buffalo’s receivers failed to create any separation, and the offense was unable to get anything going through the first three quarters. It’s clear that the Bills’ offensive issues are becoming a growing concern.
However, today’s Buffalo Rumblings report quashed any hopes for those Bills fans calling for a change at offensive coordinator. Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed that Joe Brady would remain the team’s offensive coordinator through the end of the 2025 NFL season. Despite speculation that former offensive coordinator Brian Daboll could be brought back to help turn things around, McDermott swiftly dismissed the idea.
McDermott Shoots Down Daboll Return
When Daboll was fired as head coach of the New York Giants, rumors swirled about the possibility of a reunion with quarterback Josh Allen in Buffalo. McDermott wasted no time in shutting down those rumors, stating that he has confidence in Joe Brady and has no intention of bringing Daboll back to Buffalo.
“At this time, that is not something we are considering,” McDermott said when asked about the possibility of Daboll returning to Western New York.
The question remains: could Daboll have been the solution to Buffalo’s offensive struggles, or is the real issue something deeper? The Bills started the season strong but have since been cold, particularly in their loss to the Dolphins.
Dalton Kincaid’s Injury Puts More Pressure on Offense
Adding to Buffalo’s woes, tight end Dalton Kincaid, who has been one of Josh Allen’s most reliable targets this season, has been officially labeled “week-to-week” after suffering a hamstring injury in the Dolphins’ loss. Kincaid had been a standout, recording 29 catches for 448 yards and four touchdowns—leading the team in both receiving yards and touchdowns this year. His absence could further strain the already struggling offense.
As the Bills continue to deal with a variety of injuries, including to key players like Kincaid, the offense will need to find a way to regain its early-season form. While McDermott has expressed confidence in his current coaching staff, fans are left to wonder if a change in offensive philosophy or leadership might be what’s needed to reignite Buffalo’s high-powered attack.
More Updates on Bills’ Injuries and Roster Moves
As the Bills face a series of injuries, including to key offensive players, the team is also adding new faces to the practice squad. Stay tuned for updates as Buffalo looks to address its depth and find solutions to its current offensive struggles.
