When Barry Sanders became the cover star of NFL 25 (EA Sports, 2013), he secured a double coup for the Detroit Lions. The team's wide receiver Calvin Johnson Jr had appeared on the cover of Madden NFL 13 (EA Sports, 2012). This marked the first time that the same team or its players had secured consecutive NFL covers.
Madden NFL 13 (2012) = Calvin Johnson of Detroit Lions
