Here are my 10 biggest takeaways through 15 weeks of the NFL season.

1. Bread influencer.

Social media was essentially trying to shove the MVP into Baker Mayfield’s mailbox after a third of the season. Here he is next to longtime reserve Jacoby Brissett - who has a far worse supporting cast - in the nine weeks since.

Yep. No further comment.

2. Once in a lifetime.

The best edge rusher I’ve ever seen. Plain and simple.

Allow me to thump my chest for a moment; here’s what I wrote after Week 3.

You’re welcome, Mr. Garrett. Soon, I will have successfully spoken your finest football accomplishment into existence. Don’t forget to thank me during your induction speech.

3. Searing.

Houston started 0-3, and now you can’t name a team in the current AFC postseason picture that is definitively more trustworthy. Denver and New England play with their food too much. Jacksonville is faker than James Corden’s on-screen persona. Pittsburgh is really old. The Chargers and Bills? DeMeco Ryans humiliated Justin Herbert in January, and did the same to Josh Allen on national television a few weeks ago. A trip to the Super Bowl feels comfortably within the realm of possibility.

4. Front of the pack.

TreVeyon Henderson kicked off his professional career by logging seven relatively nondescript outings in a row. He strangely struggled in pass protection, even though that aspect of his skill set was legendary at Ohio State. Mike Vrabel did not trust him in big moments whatsoever.

Fast-forward to the present, and TreVeyon is the favorite for the Offensive Rookie of the Year. He’s going to reach 1,000 scrimmage yards on New England’s next possession, and has established himself as a top-five player on an 11-3 squad. I could not be more proud of that kid.

5. Extreme futility.

It’s been almost a half-century since an NFL team finished a contest with a total yardage number below zero. I think we may get a new member of the club in five days.

Las Vegas - starting either Kenny Pickett or an ailing Geno Smith - is headed to Houston, for a meeting with the league’s nastiest defense. This might be history.

6. Too many injuries.

Nick Bosa, Malik Nabers, Tyreek Hill, Tucker Kraft, Patrick Mahomes, Micah Parsons. Six(!!) superstars have suffered a torn ACL this season. Absolutely awful.

7. Say you’re sorry.

Here’s the full list of dudes with more receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns than Chris Olave at the moment.

• Amon-Ra St. Brown

That’s it. With Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough leading the huddle, Olave is posting numbers that only an exclusive slot guy can match. A lot of folks owe No. 12 an apology, including the Saints fans that wanted to dump him and pay Rashid Shaheed instead. Delete the tweets if you want, but I haven’t forgotten.

8. Curfew.

George Pickens published a piece in November, essentially telling the world that he had turned over a new leaf. He offered a cheeky apology for his past drama, and expressed how much fun it was in Dallas. People wanted him in Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase conversations.

It’s just so disappointing that this sort of behavior is still in there. Pickens quit on Thursday Night Football, then turned around and released a remix of that performance for NBC. Looking ahead, the Cowboys are in action on Christmas Day; history tells us that George will find a special way to subtract dollars from his next contract on that afternoon.

9. Past tense.

One unique thing about this sport? When a coach’s regime ends, you can often feel it happen in the moment. The Chargers famously gave up 63 to Las Vegas, and you knew Brandon Staley was done. Time ran out on the Bears in that catastrophic Thanksgiving debacle last year, and you knew Matt Eberflus was done. Those of us that witnessed Miami’s effort in the third quarter yesterday will be the first to tell you. The Mike McDaniel era is officially over. There’s no real point in canning him with three games left, but he’ll be gone by mid-January.

Chris Shula is the obvious replacement here, for reasons that extend beyond the family tree. The Dolphins desperately need a forthright communicator to snap this franchise out of the malaise. Defenders on the open market will flock to play for him, which allows the front office to spend that Round 1 selection on an offensive lineman. Spencer Fano, welcome to Florida.

10. My updated MVP ladder.
