NCAA men’s hockey tournament bubble; how to watch Beanpot final
While the biggest prize in college hockey clearly is the national championship trophy, in one corner of the sport’s landscape, that accolade has a rival: the Beanpot.
The 72nd tournament, which features Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern and Harvard, concludes Monday at TD Garden with BC facing BU in the championship game (7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+).
Both teams are ranked in the top 10 in the country (BC is No. 1, BU is No. 8 in the most recent polls), but even in years when the Beanpot doesn’t have national implications of that magnitude, the energy, desire and hatred boil over for the schools and their fans.
This year’s final has a different twist, however. Nine of the players — six from BC, three from BU — were teammates at the IIHF World Junior Championship, where they won the gold medal for Team USA in January. At least one member of the Eagles or Terriers scored or assisted on all but one of the 37 goals the U.S. scored in the tournament.
Any friendships will be on hold Monday night.
“It’s just understanding that you can’t have any friends out there,” BC freshman James Hagens told the Boston Globe last month. “You might play with them for a while. They might be your best buddies, but you just have to understand it’s a hockey game, and you have to go out there and win.”
BU’s Cole Eiserman expressed similar sentiments. “You battle with those guys, get close to those guys, but I think we’re all competitive guys,” he told the Globe. “We want to win for our own school.”
The teams met in a home-and-home series in January, with BC sweeping by scores of 6-2 and 2-0. But BU will gladly accept those results in exchange for a trophy-lifting win Monday night. The Terriers last won the Beanpot in 2022, while BC’s most recent championship was in 2016. Northeastern has won five of the last six tournaments.
While Monday’s game will not count in the Hockey East standings, conference races are heating up around the country as the selection of the NCAA tournament field nears.
The NCAA field includes the winners of the six conference tournaments — Atlantic, Big Ten, CCHA, ECAC, Hockey East and NCHC — and 10 at-large teams based on the PairWise rankings.
Conference tournament championship games are scheduled for March 22, with the NCAA tournament selections to be announced March 23. Regionals will be held March 27-30, with the Frozen Four on April 10 and 12 in St. Louis. Every NCAA tournament game, including the selection show, will be on ESPN networks and streamed on ESPN+.
Here’s a look at where the NCAA field stands, with teams listed in order of the PairWise rankings as of Feb. 9.

In the field — for now
UMass-Lowell has slipped a few notches with three losses in four games, while Michigan and Arizona State improved their standing this past weekend with splits against Michigan State and Denver, respectively.

Key games: Feb. 21-22 vs. Western Michigan; Feb. 28-March 1 at Omaha
One-bid league champs
It’s looking more and more likely we’ll have three one-bid leagues — the ECAC, CCHA and Atlantic. Quinnipiac and Minnesota State are on the fringes of the at-large bubble, but if they fail to win their conference tournaments, the losses along the way seem likely to dash their at-large hopes.
Quinnipiac leads a tight ECAC race, with the top five teams within five points of each other, while Minnesota State has a solid hold on first place in the CCHA. So we’re penciling the Bobcats and Mavericks in the NCAA field for now.
In the Atlantic, Sacred Heart, Holy Cross and Bentley are within one point of each other in the league standings — although Holy Cross and Bentley have played two fewer games than Sacred Heart — and are bunched together in the PairWise. We gave the nod to the Crusaders, who are one spot ahead of Bentley in the PairWise, but as with the other three leagues in this group, it will all come down to the conference tournament.
QuinnipiacRecord: 17-9-2, 11-4-1 ECAC (No. 15 in PairWise)
Last week’s results: Beat St. Lawrence 6-1; lost to Clarkson 3-2 (OT)
Key games: Feb. 14 at Union; Feb. 28 at Clarkson
Minnesota StateRecord: 20-8-2, 15-5-2 CCHA (No. 17 in PairWise)
Last week’s results: Beat Augustana 4-1 and 2-1
Key games: Feb. 21-22 at Lake Superior State
Holy CrossRecord: 17-11-2, 16-4-2 Atlantic (No. 30 in PairWise)
Last week’s results: Won at RIT 9-2 and 3-0
Key games: Feb. 20 vs. Bentley; Feb. 24 vs. AIC
On the bubble
Assuming there will be three conference champions outside of the top 16 in PairWise, teams below No. 13 will be out of luck in terms of grabbing an at-large NCAA bid. But the standings in this range are very tight, with positions changing with almost every result. These teams will have opportunities for key wins to gain critical PairWise capital, but the margin for error is slim.
No. 14 UMassRecord: 15-11-2, 6-8-2 Hockey East
Last week’s results: Won at UConn 5-4
Key games: Feb. 14-15 home-and-home vs. BC; Feb. 27-March 1 home-and-home vs. UMass-Lowell
No. 16 Penn StateRecord: 14-11-3, 5-10-3 Big Ten
Last week’s results: Won at Wisconsin 2-0 and 6-2
Key games: Feb. 21-22 at Michigan State; Feb. 28-March 1 vs. Minnesota
No. 18 New Hampshire Record: 11-12-3, 3-11-2 Hockey East
Last week’s results: Lost to BC 4-2; lost to Merrimack 5-4
Key games: Feb. 14-15 at Maine; Feb. 28-March 1 home-and-home vs. BC

Top Managed Service Provider (MSP) Trends to Watch in 2021
As businesses continue to navigate the challenges of the digital landscape, the role of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) has become more essential than ever. MSPs offer a range of services that help businesses manage their IT infrastructure, from network security to cloud computing. In 2021, several trends are emerging that will shape the way MSPs operate and provide value to their clients.1. Increased Focus on Cybersecurity: With the rise of cyber threats and data breaches, cybersecurity has become a top priority for businesses of all sizes. MSPs are expected to play a crucial role in helping businesses protect their data and systems from cyber attacks. This includes providing 24/7 monitoring, threat detection, and incident response services to ensure that businesses remain secure in an increasingly digital world.
2. Cloud Computing and Hybrid IT: The shift to cloud computing has accelerated in recent years, with businesses relying on cloud services for storage, data processing, and application hosting. MSPs are expected to help businesses navigate the complexities of cloud computing and manage their hybrid IT environments effectively. This includes optimizing cloud resources, ensuring data security, and providing support for cloud-based applications.
3. Remote Workforce Support: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many businesses to adopt remote work models, with employees working from home or other remote locations. MSPs are expected to provide the necessary tools and support to enable remote work, including virtual desktop infrastructure, secure remote access, and collaboration platforms. MSPs will need to ensure that businesses can operate efficiently and securely in a remote work environment.
4. AI and Automation: Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are increasingly being used by MSPs to streamline their operations and improve service delivery. AI-powered tools can help MSPs monitor and manage IT systems more effectively, identify potential issues before they occur, and automate routine tasks to free up resources for more strategic initiatives. MSPs that embrace AI and automation will be able to provide faster, more efficient, and more reliable services to their clients.
5. Customer Experience and Service Delivery: In 2021, MSPs will need to focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences to differentiate themselves in a competitive market. This includes providing proactive support, personalized services, and transparent communication with clients. MSPs that prioritize customer experience will build stronger relationships with their clients and earn their trust as trusted technology partners.
Overall, the role of Managed Service Providers is evolving in response to the changing needs of businesses in the digital age. By staying ahead of these trends and embracing new technologies, MSPs can continue to provide value to their clients and help them navigate the complexities of the digital landscape in 2021 and beyond.
When is next full moon February 2025? How to watch planetary parade
February’s full moon will shine before Valentine’s Day with an added bonus view of Venus — named after the Roman goddess of love — during the month’s rare planetary parade.
Stargazers are in for a treat this month, besides the snow moon, the planet Venus will shine at its brightest for the year after sunset, according to NASA. Then Mars and Jupiter will rule the nighttime skyline, with a pop-in from Mercury and a fainter view of Saturn.
Here’s all about February’s full moon and how to watch the planetary parade.
When is the next full moon in February 2025?
The next full moon is on Wednesday, Feb. 12, with peak illumination at 8:53 a.m. Eastern. The best view of this moon will be the night before of night after, according to the Almanac.
Click here to see moonrise and moonset times in your area.
What are the moon phases for February 2025?
- First Quarter: Feb. 5.
- Full Moon: Feb. 12.
- Last Quarter: Feb. 20.
- New Moon: Feb. 28.
Why is the February moon called the snow moon?
The February moon is also known as the snow moon according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, a reference to the typically heavy snowfall that occurs in that month.
In the 1760s, Captain Jonathan Carver visited a Native American tribe and wrote the snow moon was so named “because more snow commonly falls during this month than any other in the winter.”
When is the planetary parade in February 2025?
This February brings a rare planetary alignment that will gather five bright planets into clear view — Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, and Saturn. The next similar alignment is expected to occur in October 2028.
- The most prominent of the five planets is Venus, which is already visible and shining in the west-southwest sky at dusk and will continue at peak brightness throughout the month of February.
- To find Saturn, simply look toward Venus and extend an imaginary line straight downward — the first bright star-like object you come across will be Saturn. It will be most visible during the first two weeks of February, becoming more difficult later in the month.
- Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, will appear high in the south at dusk, the silvery-white planet will appear accompanied by two famous naked-eye star clusters, the Pleiades and Hyades.
- Look halfway up in the eastern sky for orange-yellow Mars, which comes into view as night falls. It will be accompanied by the “Twin Stars” of Gemini, Pollux and Castor.
- The smallest planet, Mercury, will become visible during the final week of the month. It will set just over an hour after the sun on Feb. 24.
On Feb. 24, Mercury will be in conjunction with Saturn and offer the best chance to see all five evening planets at once according to Space.com. Start looking about 30 minutes after sunset.
When is the full moon in March 2025?
The full moon in March, also known as the worm moon should reach peak illumination by Friday, March 14, 2025.
Maria Francis is a Pennsylvania-based journalist with the Mid-Atlantic Connect Team.
When is the next full moon in February 2025? Mark your calendars for February 11th, 2025, when the next full moon will illuminate the night sky.But that’s not all – this full moon will coincide with a rare celestial event known as a planetary parade. A planetary parade occurs when multiple planets line up in the sky, creating a stunning display of celestial beauty.
To watch the planetary parade during the next full moon in February 2025, find a location with clear skies and minimal light pollution. Look towards the eastern horizon just after sunset to catch a glimpse of the planets as they align in the sky.
Grab a pair of binoculars or a telescope for an even better view of the planets and their unique features. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness the beauty of the night sky and the wonders of our solar system during the next full moon in February 2025.

#watch #Super #Bowl #live #todayAston Villa vs. Tottenham Hotspur: FA Cup 4th round game time, live blog, and how to watch online
All the good Tottenham Hotspur vibes that had started to build again over the last few weeks went straight out the window following Liverpool’s demolition of the Lilywhites in the EFL Cup midweek. There’s no time for Spurs to lick their wounds, however, with a short turnaround before today’s match against Aston Villa.
Spurs are in the fourth round courtesy of a labored victory over National League side Tamworth, and Villa are just a few rungs higher on the English football ladder. The Villains will be fresh as well, having had the week off to prepare while Spurs crashed out of another cup competition.
Regardless, Ange Postecoglou will be keen to turn things around, with a little help from his January reinforcements. Two of those, Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel, were able to hold their heads high in the defeat to Liverpool, and will surely be in the starting lineup with injuries aplenty both in defense and the forward line. Can Spurs overcome whatever fresh hell the universe serves up this time and come away victorious?
COYS!

The Future of Data Backup and Recovery: Trends to Watch
Data backup and recovery have always been essential components of a comprehensive IT strategy. With the increasing volume of data being generated by organizations, the need for reliable and efficient backup and recovery solutions is more critical than ever. As we look towards the future, several trends are emerging that will shape the way data is protected and recovered.One of the key trends in data backup and recovery is the adoption of cloud-based solutions. Cloud backup offers several advantages over traditional on-premises solutions, including scalability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use. With the rise of cloud computing, more and more organizations are turning to cloud backup services to safeguard their critical data. In addition, cloud-based backup solutions also provide greater flexibility and accessibility, allowing organizations to easily access and restore their data from anywhere in the world.
Another important trend in data backup and recovery is the increasing use of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. These technologies are being used to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of backup and recovery processes. AI-powered backup solutions can automatically prioritize and optimize backups, identify potential risks, and predict potential data loss events. By leveraging AI and machine learning, organizations can enhance their backup and recovery capabilities and ensure the security and integrity of their data.
Data deduplication is also a key trend to watch in the realm of data backup and recovery. Deduplication technology eliminates redundant data by only storing unique data blocks, which helps to reduce storage requirements and improve backup speeds. As organizations continue to generate vast amounts of data, deduplication will become increasingly important in optimizing backup and recovery processes.
Furthermore, the rise of ransomware attacks has highlighted the importance of having robust backup and recovery strategies in place. Ransomware attacks can encrypt critical data and demand a ransom for its release, making data backup and recovery essential for mitigating the impact of such attacks. Organizations are increasingly investing in backup and recovery solutions that can quickly restore data in the event of a ransomware attack, minimizing downtime and data loss.
In conclusion, the future of data backup and recovery is evolving rapidly, driven by advancements in technology and the increasing complexity of data environments. Cloud-based solutions, artificial intelligence, data deduplication, and ransomware protection are just a few of the trends that will shape the way organizations protect and recover their data in the coming years. By staying abreast of these trends and leveraging the latest technologies, organizations can ensure the security and availability of their critical data in an increasingly data-driven world.
Al Nassr vs Al Feiha, Saudi Pro League: When and where to watch Cristiano Ronaldo-starrer match live online and on TV | Football News
Feb 07, 2025 07:13 AM IST
Live streaming details for the Al Nassr vs Al Feiha Saudi Pro League football match.
Just over halfway into the Saudi Pro League season, and Al Nassr have fallen well behind the pace in terms of the title race. They find themselves in fourth place, 11 points off current league leaders Al Ittihad. It’s been an inconsistent season for Cristiano Ronaldo’s team, as regular dropping of points has kept them off the top as the Portuguese superstar looks for his first league title in Saudi Arabia.
Al Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo scores their second goal from the penalty spot vs Al Wasl in the Asian Champions League.(REUTERS) The next fixture for Al Nassr sees them host Al Feiha at the Alawwal Park in Riyadh, where Ronaldo and company will be looking to rack up a fifth consecutive win in what has been a strong run of form after a choppy start to the season.
Al Feiha, meanwhile, sit in a lowly 13th place in the table, just two points ahead of the relegation zone and in danger of falling into trouble if they don’t string together points. Former Manchester United and England defender Chris Smalling is on the books at Al Feiha, but the centreback knows he faces a tough task against an attack boasting of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, and new star striker signing Jhon Duran.
Ronaldo has risen to the top of the goalscoring charts in the division, having struck 15 goals in Al Nassr’s 18 games so far, sitting ahead of players such as Karim Benzema and Aleksandr Mitrovic in the golden boot standings. All eyes will be on him in this contest, as always.

Business Continuity Trends to Watch in 2021 and Beyond
As businesses around the world continue to navigate the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of business continuity planning has never been more evident. With the unpredictability of global events, it is crucial for organizations to stay ahead of the curve and adapt their strategies to ensure they can continue operating in any circumstance. Here are some business continuity trends to watch in 2021 and beyond:1. Emphasis on remote work capabilities: The shift to remote work during the pandemic has highlighted the need for organizations to have robust remote work capabilities in place. In the coming years, businesses will continue to invest in technologies and tools that enable employees to work effectively from anywhere, ensuring that operations can continue in the event of disruptions.
2. Increased focus on cybersecurity: With the rise of remote work and digital transformation, cybersecurity threats have become more prevalent. Businesses will need to prioritize cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive data and prevent cyberattacks that could disrupt operations. This includes implementing strong security protocols, conducting regular security audits, and providing cybersecurity training for employees.
3. Integration of AI and automation: Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technologies can help businesses streamline processes, improve efficiency, and reduce human error. In the coming years, organizations will increasingly leverage AI and automation tools to enhance their business continuity planning, allowing them to respond quickly to disruptions and minimize downtime.
4. Supply chain resilience: The pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in supply chains around the world, leading to disruptions in the flow of goods and services. Moving forward, businesses will focus on building resilient supply chains that can withstand shocks and disruptions. This may involve diversifying suppliers, implementing digital supply chain technologies, and increasing transparency and collaboration within the supply chain.
5. Scenario planning and risk assessment: As the business landscape continues to evolve rapidly, organizations will need to conduct regular scenario planning and risk assessments to identify potential threats and develop strategies to mitigate them. By anticipating various scenarios and planning for different outcomes, businesses can better prepare for disruptions and ensure they can continue operating smoothly.
In conclusion, business continuity planning will remain a top priority for organizations in 2021 and beyond. By staying abreast of emerging trends and implementing proactive strategies, businesses can enhance their resilience and adaptability in the face of uncertainty. By investing in remote work capabilities, cybersecurity, AI and automation, supply chain resilience, and scenario planning, businesses can ensure they are well-equipped to navigate any challenges that come their way.
NFL MVP watch 2024: Ranking finalists with award odds, stats
-
Courtney Cronin
It’s a shame that voting for the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award ended at the conclusion of the regular season, especially after battle we saw between Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Baltimore Ravens passer Lamar Jackson in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs. Allen led the Bills to a 27-25 win over the Ravens and moved his team on to the AFC Championship versus the Kansas City Chiefs, where Buffalo’s season ended.
Both Allen and Jackson, in the primes of their careers, put together compelling cases to walk away as the 2024 MVP. After winning the prestigious honor last season, Jackson put together one of the best statistical campaigns of all time and was even better than his previous two MVP seasons. Allen came close to matching Jackson in several statistical categories and orchestrated one of the best years of his career during a transition period for the Bills’ roster. So who has the edge?
We asked 13 analysts — Matt Bowen, Dan Graziano, Kalyn Kahler, Matt Miller, Dan Orlovsky, Jordan Reid, Aaron Schatz, Ben Solak, Mike Tannenbaum, Lindsey Thiry, Seth Walder, Field Yates and myself — to vote on the top players in the MVP race. While it was a two-player race at the end, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley more than earned his way into the mix, as did the career-best play demonstrated by Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow in a season where his team failed to make the playoffs.
Here’s a look at how the final rankings played out. (All odds are via ESPN BET.)

Walder’s extended top-100 MVP ballot
First place votes: 7
Final odds: -5002024 stats: 3,731 passing yards, 28 TDs, 6 INTs, 77.3 QBR (531 rushing yards, 12 TDs)
Season in review: The MVP is a regular season award, so what Allen did in the postseason to lead the Bills to the AFC title game won’t factor into voting. But how he put his team in position to get there by locking up the No. 2 seed will.
Allen played some of the best, mistake-free football of his career and had the lowest percentage of plays with a sack, fumble or interception (4.2%) since the AFL-NFL merger (1970). His 40 total touchdowns were the fourth-most in the NFL while he put together a second consecutive season with at least 25 passing touchdowns and 10 rushing touchdowns. His three games with multiple passing and rushing touchdowns (vs. the Cardinals, Rams and Lions) were the most in an NFL season.
The case for Allen over Jackson: Voter fatigue could be at play given Jackson has won the MVP twice. We’ve seen this happen in the NBA when Charles Barkley won the MVP in 1993 over Michael Jordan (who had just won it the previous two seasons) and recently with Nikola Jokic getting snubbed for Joel Embiid after locking up two-straight MVPs from 2021-22. Additionally, voters may consider Ravens running back Derrick Henry‘s impact (1,921 rushing yards, NFL-best 16 TDs) and argue that Jackson may have competition for being the best player on his own team.
This is an award driven by narratives, and the one in Buffalo is that Allen did more with less after the Bills parted ways with his No. 1 and No. 2 receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, respectively, in the offseason. Buffalo also had only one Pro Bowl selection outside of Allen (left tackle Dion Dawkins) and no All-Pros. The Bills were the first team in NFL history to beat two 15-win teams when they knocked off the Lions and Chiefs in games where Allen racked up 747 total yards, six touchdowns and one interception while not being sacked.
MVP moment: Against the 49ers in December, Allen demonstrated his dominance when he threw a short pass in the red zone to Amari Cooper, who then pitched the ball back to the quarterback. Allen ran the ball down the sideline while being squeezed by three 49ers defenders and stretched his arm out as he broke the plane of the end zone for a 9-yard score.
THIS IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING WE HAVE EVER SEEN.

— Buffalo Bills (@BuffaloBills) December 2, 2024
Standout stat: Allen was at his best when opposing defenses cranked up the heat. His 85.3 QBR and 6.5 yards per dropback when pressured were the highest ever in a season since ESPN began tracking pressures in 2009.
First place votes: 6
Final odds: +3502024 stats: 4,712 passing yards, 41 TDs, 4 INTs, 77.3 QBR (915 rushing yards, 4 TDs)
Season in review: Think of everything Jackson achieved one season after winning his second MVP. The 28-year-old quarterback is the first player in NFL history with 4,000 passing yards and 900 rushing yards in a season, had the fourth-best passer rating (119.6) in NFL history and is the first reigning MVP to toss 40 touchdowns a season after winning the award. He also set career highs in passing touchdowns, passing yards, yards per attempt (8.8) and TD/INT ratio (10.3).
Baltimore won the AFC North for a second straight season while becoming the first team ever to account for 4,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards. Derrick Henry‘s season played a huge factor in that feat, but it was Jackson who accounted for nearly 27% of his team’s rushing yards. Players typically don’t get astronomically better after reaching their peak, yet Jackson improved in a handful of categories — passing yards, touchdown passes (17 more in 2024), off-target percentage (14.9%) and Total QBR — from last season. He also set franchise records in yards per attempt and passing touchdowns.
The case for Jackson over Allen: Jackson’s passing reached historic levels, but it was his rushing impact that separated him from Allen as the first quarterback with 40-plus touchdown passes and more than 600 rushing yards — and his statistical impact in 2024 was better than his previous two MVP seasons. The supporting cast argument that would appear to favor Allen can be debated by the fact that Buffalo running back James Cook had as many rushing touchdowns as Henry (16), too.
But Jackson’s case is strongest when looking at how he performed against the NFL’s best teams. Jackson’s 7-3 record against playoff teams trumps Allen’s 2-3. Against top-10 defenses, Jackson has the edge in several categories: win-loss record (4-2), EPA/play (0.27) and total touchdowns (15).
MVP moment: The Ravens went into Houston on Christmas Day and stunned a fellow playoff team in a 29-point blowout, as Jackson broke Michael Vick’s record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback. Jackson accounted for three touchdowns and set the new rushing record with 87 yards on four attempts. The historical achievement was highlighted by his season-long 48-yard touchdown run where he reached a career-best top speed of 21.25 mph (NFL Next Gen Stats).
ACTION JACKSON TO THE HOUSE!!!

— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) December 25, 2024
Standout stat: Jackson is the first player in NFL history with at least 40 passing touchdowns and four or fewer interceptions in a season.
First place votes: 0
Final odds: +80002024 stats: 2,005 rushing yards, 13 TDs (278 receiving yards, 2 TDs)
Season in review: Had Philadelphia not rested its starters in a Week 18 game against the Giants — Barkley’s former team — after locking up the NFC’s No. 2 seed, it’s safe to say the running back likely would’ve broken Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record (2,105). Barkley averaged 125.3 rushing yards per game and became the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards. But like the four others who achieved that feat before him, Barkley likely won’t win the MVP award.
Barkley’s impact on the Eagles’ offense was felt the strongest in his 11 games with 100 rushing yards — the most ever by any player in their first season with a team — and how his presence in the backfield helped quarterback Jalen Hurts cut his turnovers in half in 2024 (down from 20 to 10).
MVP moment: Barkley shredded the Rams in a November meeting where he rushed for 255 yards (9.8 yards per rush) and two touchdowns. Even though that game was at SoFi Stadium, Barkley walked off the field that evening to “MVP!” chants.
Standout stat: Barkley’s 1,440 rushing yards before contact are the highest in a season over the past 15 years.
First place votes: 0
Final odds: +250002024 stats: 4,918 passing yards, 43 TDs, 9 INTs, 74.7 QBR (201 rushing yards, 2 TDs)
Season in review: It’s a shame that Cincinnati wasted the best season of Burrow’s career with a defense that prevented the Bengals from making a postseason run. Cincinnati was 4-8 as late as Dec. 1, but it found its way into the mix for the AFC’s No. 7 seed in Week 18. Burrow was the reason for that as he had the league-lead in passing yards and touchdowns, coupled with the fifth-lowest interception rate (1.4%) and fifth-highest completion percentage (70.6%) in the NFL.
The 28-year-old quarterback’s fifth season will be remembered for the heavy load he shouldered despite losses that don’t reflect his stellar play. Cincinnati lost five games when Burrow threw at least three touchdowns, and the Bengals’ 25.5 points allowed per game were the third-most ever among teams that had a quarterback throw for 40 touchdowns.
MVP moment: Burrow threw for 412 yards, three touchdowns and ran in another in Cincinnati’s 30-24 overtime win in Denver in Week 17. As he did all season, he delivered in a must-win game to keep Cincinnati’s faint playoff hopes alive; it was the Bengals’ first win against a team with a winning record.
Standout stat: Burrow had eight straight games with three passing touchdowns, which tied Andrew Luck (2018) and Peyton Manning (2024) for the second-longest streak in NFL history.
