07 January 2026: Happy New Year everyone! We hope you had an enjoyable time over the festive period. The start of 2026 sees the curtain finally fall on the NFL Retro Bowl '26 Championship, and it's congratulations to the Colts fans who have powered their team to the top of the table and kept them there despite strong competition from the Eagles. While the Eagles set the pace in the early weeks of the season, it was week 8 when the Colts first took the top spot, and while the lead has swapped hands a few times, the Colts have set a consistently blistering pace all season. Congratulations to all the Colts fans who took part and contributed to their team's success!    

​

The rest of the top 10 is filled out by the Eagles, who were excellent, and finish in a close 2nd, the Packers, 49ers, Ravens, Falcons, Vikings, Lions, Rams, and Saints. A big hand from us to everyone who posted scores for any of those teams. Further down the table, the Dolphins' win over the Patriots saw them climb two places, and the Jets, Texans, and Jaguars all finished with a flourish by winning in the last week of the competition to climb places.    

​​

We'd like to thank everyone who posted a score for their team, and hope that you enjoyed the competition. And if your team finished above that of your rivals, we hope you enjoy the bragging rights. Of course, with the competition now closed, you can enjoy your regular career in NFL Retro Bowl '26 without the distraction of the weekly championship game!   
 

This week's highest individual score was posted on the Packers leaderboard. With a mighty score of 14,498, congratulations to you... You are the week 18, and final MVP of the season!
