Pro Boilers: Week 18 in the NFL

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The 2025 NFL regular season concluded with six Pro Boilers active in the final week.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. finished the 2025 season strong with 18 rushes for a season-high 103 rushing yards and caught a career-high eight passes for 56 yards and a touchdown to help the Giants defeat the Cowboys 34-17. His 159 scrimmage yards were a career high. 


The performance is Tracy's fourth time in his career over 100 yards rushing, and the receiving touchdown is the third of his career. 

Tracy joined Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley as the only three Giants players to record over 1,000 yards from scrimmage in his first two seasons. Tracy finished the 2025 season with 1,028 yards from scrimmage after he put up 1,123 in his rookie campaign. 

Aidan O'Connell saw his first action of the season for the Raiders and went 10-of-22 for 102 yards in a 16-14 victory over Kansas City. O'Connell passed for 25 yards on the final drive to set Las Vegas up for the game-winning 60-yard field goal with 13 seconds remaining in the game. 

Sanoussi Kane earned the first start of his NFL career in his second game as a member of the Titans this week. He finished the game with a career-high seven tackles and was Tennessee's second-highest tackler. Kane has appeared in 24 games across his first two seasons between the Ravens and Titans. 

Derrick Barnes started all 17 games for the Lions this season, and he recorded 78 tackles, six tackles-for-loss, four sacks, one interception and one safety. 

Barnes became one of nine players since 1990, and the first player since J.J. Watt in 2014, to record at least 75 tackles, four sacks, one interception and one safety in a season. 

Marcus Mbow finished his rookie season with three starts at left tackle, and he played in 38.1-percent of the Giants' offensive snaps. New York held a 2-1 record and averaged 30.7 points per game in Mbow's three starts. 

George Karlaftis finished the 2025 season with 48 tackles, 10 tackles-for-loss, six sacks and one fumble recovery. He has recorded at least six sacks and has finished top two on the Chiefs in sacks in each of his first four seasons.  

Payne Durham earned 10 starts at tight end during the 2025 campaign, two more starts than he had in his first two seasons combined. He finished the season second in the NFL among tight ends with a 74.4 run blocking grade (minimum 200 run blocking snaps), according to PFF.

Reese Taylor appeared in four games and recorded two tackles for the AFC's No. 1 seed Denver Broncos. The Broncos earned a first round bye and will look ahead to the AFC Divisional Round Jan. 17-18.
