The MVP Race is Heating Up 🔥

Muddled NFL Standings Result in 2-Horse Race Among Quarterbacks

The NFL season enters its final month, and that means the MVP race is heating up. No team has a runaway MVP candidate since no team has run away with the outright best record. Three teams sit at 10-3, and the quarterbacks of those three teams are also 1-2-3 in the race. But believe it or not, it’s a 44-year-old and a 38-year-old out in front. Both have already won three MVPs, which would make pro sports history (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL) as the first duo of three-time winners to finish 1-2.

 

Titans RB Derrick Henry would’ve certainly been in the running had he not suffered a foot injury in the midst of a historic season. Instead, we’ve got five quarterbacks in the driver’s seat with four games to play.
