The highest graded plays of the 2025 NFL regular season

Caleb Williams’ game-winning touchdown throw in Week 16: With the Bears at the Packers’ 46-yard line in overtime, Caleb Williams dropped back to pass, but the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft was standing between his own 44- and 45-yard lines when the ball left his hand. The pass traveled 57 yards through the air, landing perfectly in stride with wide receiver D.J. Moore for one of the most impressive throws of the year.

• Bijan Robinson’s long touchdown run in Week 17: Robinson made the first defender miss in the backfield, powered through a one-armed tackle attempt just beyond the line of scrimmage, and then hit another gear, outrunning the rest of the Rams’ defense on his way to the end zone.

Over the entire season, just one throw earned a +2.0 PFF grade — and this was it.

With the Bears at the Packers’ 46-yard line in overtime, Caleb Williams dropped back to pass, but the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft was standing between his own 44- and 45-yard lines when the ball left his hand.

Six individual runs by running backs earned a +2.0 PFF grade this season, and this long touchdown from Bijan Robinson in Week 17 was one of them.

Robinson makes the first defender miss in the backfield, powers through a one-armed tackle attempt just beyond the line of scrimmage, and then hits another gear, outrunning the rest of the Rams’ defense on his way to the end zone.

Seven plays by cornerbacks earned a +2.0 PFF grade over the course of the regular season, and one of them came all the way back on Monday Night Football in Week 1.

Bears cornerback Nashon Wright diagnoses the route immediately, drives on the throw and secures the interception in stride. From there, the result was never in doubt, as Wright took it the rest of the way to the Vikings’ end zone.

This one-handed catch by Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua in Week 13 was one of just six plays by a wide receiver to earn a +2.0 PFF grade all season, as he hauled in a ridiculous grab down the left sideline.

But the bigger story goes beyond this single highlight: Nacua finished the regular season with eight plays graded at either +1.5 or +2.0, four more than any other wide receiver in the NFL.
