Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is one of the finalists for the NFL MVP Award.

Burrow completed 70.6% of his passes for 4,918 yards and 43 touchdowns this season. He led the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns—both of which are new Bengals franchise records.

Ja'Marr Chase is a finalist for Offensive Player of the Year. Chase became the fifth player since 1970 to win the Triple Crown—lead the NFL in receiving yards (1,708), catches (127) and touchdowns (17).

Trey Hendrickson is a finalist for the Defensive Player of the Year award after leading the NFL with 17.5 sacks.

Burrow should also receive serious consideration for the Comeback Player of the Year award. He's also a finalist for it and could become just the second player (Chad Pennington) to win it twice.

2025 NFL Honors will take place Thursday, February 6, at 9 p.m. in New Orleans.
