MVP Watch: Same Old Peyton
Filed under: NFL Awards Looks like I started writing this feature at the perfect time . For the majority of the season, it appeared there was a three-headed monster (the Peyton Brees-Favre) for MVP with another quarterback and an electric running back fighting to stay on their heels. All of a sudden, Week 15 gave us some obvious separation. Sure, it was only one week, but that’s how close this race is. One game can make a huge difference. The Front Runner Peyton Manning is actually fifth in quarterback rating, due to throwing his most interceptions since 2002, but it’s still above the century mark at 101.2. If the Colts play the final two games with the intention of winning instead of resting, he’ll set a career high for passing yards in a season (he’s averaging 300.9 yards per game; his previous career high in this category was 284.8). His 33 passing touchdowns tie him with Drew Brees for the league lead. As always, though, numbers rarely tell the whole story with Manning. ? Permalink ?|? Email this ?|? Linking?Blogs ?|? Comments
