Matthew Stafford Crowned 2025 AP NFL Most Valuable Player After Historic Season With Rams

 

 Posted February 5, 2026

Quarterback Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams has been named the 2025 AP NFL Most Valuable Player.

The award caps a remarkable season in which Stafford delivered one of the most efficient and dominant passing performances in modern NFL history.

Stafford finished the regular season leading the entire league in both passing yards and touchdown passes.

He threw for 4,707 yards and 46 touchdowns, establishing himself as the most productive quarterback of the 2025 campaign.

Those numbers separated Stafford from every other MVP contender.

Beyond raw production, Stafford also rewrote the NFL record books.

He set a post-1978 NFL record with 28 consecutive touchdown passes without an interception.

Over the full season, Stafford threw just eight interceptions, producing an elite 5.8 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

His season also placed him in rare historical company.

Stafford became only the eighth quarterback in NFL history to record at least 4,500 passing yards and 45 touchdowns in a single season.

Notably, six of the previous seven quarterbacks to reach that benchmark went on to win MVP honors.

Stafford’s impact extended far beyond individual statistics.

He led the Rams to a 12–5 regular-season record, guiding the team through a highly competitive NFC.

Under his leadership, Los Angeles advanced deep into the postseason, reaching the NFC Championship Game.

The quarterback’s excellence earned recognition even before the official AP announcement.

Stafford was previously named 2025 MVP by the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA).

That honor further solidified his status as the league’s most valuable player.

Matthew Stafford’s MVP season represents a masterclass in precision, consistency, and leadership.

At 36, he delivered one of the finest seasons of his career when the Rams needed him most.

The 2025 AP NFL MVP award now stands as the defining achievement of Stafford’s historic campaign.
