Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders finished as the two lowest qualified quarterbacks of 2025.
Both finished with a passing DVOA below -25%, making them the 14th duo in DVOA history to pull that off for the same team, and the first since 2020 Washington (Dwayne Haskins + Alex Smith)

Time for an annual tradition -- the list of teams One Game Short of making the playoffs.
Only five teams ended up missing the playoffs by just one game this year, an artifact of how far the Haves were from the Have Nots. Still, there are a handful of teams that are kicking themselves...
