10 defensive players have won Super Bowl MVP. Haason Reddick can make it 11.
Ten defensive players have secured Super Bowl MVP honors.
Haason Reddick could join that list this weekend.
Signed by the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason, Reddick has put together a career season, as his 16 sacks represent a career-high mark. The pass rusher also forced five fumbles this year, also a career-best.
With Reddick in the mix, the Eagles have been one of the best pass-rushing defenses in the NFL this year, particularly when rushing four or fewer upfront.

San Francisco has found its replacement for DeMeco Ryans, who left for Houston earlier in the offseason.

Wilks, who began the 2022 season as Carolina’s passing game coordinator and secondary coach, impressed when he took over as head coach following Matt Rhule’s firing five games into the year.

We may never know for sure until the book comes out.

And it may depend on who writes the book – Ian Rapoport of NFL Network or Adam Schefter of ESPN. Or maybe Payton himself. But it surely looks like Payton was not the Denver Broncos’ first choice to be their new head coach last week.

The defensive tackle sacked the Bengals quarterback twice during the AFC championship.
Even though the AFC championship is no longer the Chiefs’ focus, Kansas City defensive tackle undefined appears to still be a bit heated over the team’s rivalry with the Bengals.

Rescue crews were dispatched attempting to get the man down.

The Eagles linebacker had a quiet breakout season in 2022. It was thanks in part to some very loud workouts with a Watt brother of the same name.
T.J. Watt insists he doesn’t care who wins Super Bowl LVII, but the Steelers’ star edge rusher won’t lack for meaningful allegiances when the action kicks off either. “I don’t root for a team,” Watt says. “I’m just gonna be rooting for the people in it.”
In particular, Watt will be cheering for his close friend and former college teammate, Eagles linebacker T.J.
