It\u2019s understandable that Trevor may have been passed over for Herbert for the Pro Bowl vote based on the timing of when that vote takes place, the fan voting aspect with the size of each team\u2019s market, and Lawrence\u2019s uneven play heading into the Jaguars\u2019 week 8 bye week. But with an entire season of tape and data available to us, for someone to grant Herbert a first-place vote while Lawrence receives none is simply odd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7021175\/2026\/02\/06\/nfl-year-of-the-coach-mike-vrabel-mike-macdonald\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Year of the Coach: Why this NFL season was different from the rest (The Athletic);elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Year of the Coach: Why this NFL season was different from the rest (The Athletic)<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">MVP Matthew Stafford was never an MVP candidate until he was coached by McVay. He threw more touchdown passes in 2026 than in any of his previous 16 seasons, and this was the second time in three seasons that he received MVP votes. And Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence entered the MVP conversation for the first time after scoring the third-most total touchdowns in the NFL, with Coen\u2019s guidance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Seven NFL teams positioned to get hit hardest by free agency in 2026 (NFL.com)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The Jaguars had an exciting season, winning the AFC South under new head coach Liam Coen and with a late-year surge from Trevor Lawrence . And there\u2019s good news for the front office heading into 2026: Jacksonville only has 18 impending free agents, tied for the second-fewest. The trouble, however, comes with its wallet \u2014 $11.4 million over the cap \u2014 and with the names on their free agent list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonville.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2026\/02\/06\/demario-douglas-ready-mandarin-history-super-bowl-lx\/88489517007\/?gnt-cfr=1&amp;gca-cat=p&amp;gca-uir=true&amp;gca-epti=z117401p000650c000650v117401d--74--b--74--&amp;gca-ft=64&amp;gca-ds=sophi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:DeMario Douglas\u2019 journey from unrated Jacksonville prospect to Super Bowl (Florida Times-Union);elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">DeMario Douglas\u2019 journey from unrated Jacksonville prospect to Super Bowl (Florida Times-Union)<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The record-setting receiver who helped ignite Mandarin\u2019s turnaround to a Florida High School Athletic Association championship now appears on football\u2019s biggest stage with the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Editor\u2019s pick<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Drumroll, please! <\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/espn\/betting\/story\/_\/id\/47806766\/super-bowl-60-odds-sports-betting-picks-props-seattle-seahawks-new-england-patriots\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sixty bets for Super Bowl 60 to get you ready for Seahawks-Patriots (ESPN);elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Sixty bets for Super Bowl 60 to get you ready for Seahawks-Patriots (ESPN)<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">AJ Barner anytime TD scorer, Barner UNDER 25.5 receiving yards (+800): I think Barner will be kept in to protect quite a bit, as the Patriots have been ramping up their blitz rates over the last several weeks. But Barner is still a great red zone threat with his huge frame, and he takes the Seahawks\u2019 tush push carries, so he could score even if held without a catch in this game.
