What to Expect from the NFL 2025 Season: Key Moments and Surprises

← Back

 



With the new NFL season approaching, attention turns to several crucial themes that will shape the entire campaign. Here's an overview of the most important aspects of the upcoming season.

Buffalo Bills and the Fight for the Coveted Trophy

The team from the city of buffalo may have their final real opportunity to reach a championship title this year. Josh Allen, who claimed MVP honors last season, has a strong offensive unit around him ready for success.

The schedule distribution is also favorable - the Bills will face teams like the Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, and New Orleans Saints. However, a shadow remains from their series of playoff failures, particularly four losses to the Kansas City Chiefs over the past five years, with the most painful being the 32-29 defeat in the AFC Championship battle.

Experimental Project in Jacksonville

The Jaguars decided on a bold move when they selected Travis Hunter with the second overall draft pick - a player expected to play simultaneously at wide receiver and cornerback positions. This approach recalls the historic NFL era when such versatility was more common.

Coach Liam Coen is still considering how to optimally utilize Hunter's abilities. Despite minor health issues during preparation, the rookie should see action in the season's opening games.

Aaron Rodgers' Final Chapter

The veteran quarterback begins his tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers knowing this will be his final season. At 41 years old, he'll attempt to end the Steelers' 16-year championship drought.

He'll have wide receiver DK Metcalf, who came from Seattle, at his disposal and can rely on one of the league's best defenses led by stars Cameron Heyward and T.J. Watt. His first test comes against his former team, the New York Jets.

Spotlight on Young Sanders

Shedeur Sanders attracts unusually high attention for a player selected in the fifth round of the draft. In Cleveland, he'll wait for his opportunity behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel.

Nevertheless, his preseason performances - 17 successful passes out of 29 attempts for 152 yards without an interception - suggest he could get his chance soon.

Rule Evolution Continues

While NFL owners failed to ban the controversial "tush push" maneuver (22 out of the required 24 teams voted for the ban), other rule changes were approved.

New rules apply to kickoffs, and touchbacks move to the 35-yard line. Overtime is also being introduced to the regular season with possession opportunities for both teams.

A significant innovation is replacing traditional chains with "Hawk-Eye" technology for more precise first-down measurements and expanding the instant replay system to assist officials in various situations.

The 2025 season promises to be one of the most interesting in NFL history - combining proven stars with young talent and technological innovations that could change the face of American football.

DE BRUYNE'S FAREWELL TO ETIHAD FACES CHERRIES' ROAD INVINCIBILITY

Image
  May 20, 2025   Manchester City - AFC Bournemouth   Etihad Stadium, Manchester On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Manchester City will face AFC Bournemouth in the 37th round of the Premier League. The match offers a likely farewell of the home star Kevin De Bruyne to Etihad Stadium against a team with excellent away form. Manchester City have won all seven of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth – only Arsenal (10 vs Stoke) and Manchester United (8 vs Wigan) have a better 100% home win rate against an opponent in the competition. The Citizens thus represent an insurmountable obstacle for the Cherries at their own ground. Bournemouth won the reverse fixture against Man City 2-1 in November, having been winless in their first 20 league meetings with the Citizens beforehand (D2 L18). The South England side thus achieved a historic success this season. Manchester City have won their final home league game in 10 of the last 11 seasons (D1), including each of the la...

Marks Could Be the Next Irving: NFL Draft 2025 Late-Round Gems

Image
  Bucky Irving proved last year that the fourth round can hide future stars. His 1,122 rushing yards and eight touchdowns made him the most productive rookie runner in the NFL. Now the search continues - which of this year's late picks will repeat similar success? The pattern is clear. Irving followed the path of Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City's seventh-round gem from 2022. Both had one thing in common - they weren't college superstars with astronomical numbers, but they proved efficiency and ability to maximize opportunities. Among this year's candidates, Marks from USC stands out most, selected by Houston in the fourth round. His transformation is remarkable - four years at Mississippi State never exceeded 600 yards per season, but a single season at USC brought 1,133 yards with impressive 6.8 yards per carry. Marks has an ideal situation for immediate impact. Joe Mixon ahead of him has injury history and Houston under new coordinator Nick Caley is looking for fresh b...
