EA Sports has announced the Offensive and Defensive Players of the Month (POTM) for September 2025 in Madden NFL 26. Bijan Robinson, the running back for the Atlanta Falcons, earned the Offensive POTM award, while Los Angeles Rams linebacker Byron Young was recognized as the Defensive POTM.
Both athletes have been awarded 91 OVR (Overall Rating) items in the Ultimate Team mode. These exclusive cards can be unlocked by completing specific POTM sets. Each set requires players to acquire and submit four 89 OVR Team of the Week cards, along with four additional 89 OVR cards of any type. Importantly, these POTM sets are a one-time completion per player, meaning multiple identical cards cannot be stacked.
Bijan Robinson`s Offensive Brilliance
During September, Robinson was a dominant force for the Falcons, scoring two touchdowns and accumulating an impressive 314 rushing yards and 270 receiving yards across four games, significantly boosting the team`s offense.
Byron Young`s Defensive Impact
Byron Young played a crucial role in the Rams` strong start to the season, contributing with one forced fumble, five sacks, and 23 tackles.
In-Game Item Analysis
Robinson`s POTM item boasts strong all-around stats, including 89 Awareness and 88 in both Speed and Agility, but truly excels in ball-carrying attributes, with most stats in the 90s. Similarly, his defensive counterpart`s item features high tackling ratings alongside a robust set of general statistics.
