Drew Brees on verge of winning first league MVP award
Drew Brees holds several major NFL passing records. By any measure, the Saints quarterback is one of the best players in NFL history.
But while Brees has made 11 Pro Bowls, only once has he earned first-team All-Pro. That year, 2006, Brees’ former teammate, Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson, gained 2,323 yards from scrimmage and scored 31 total touchdowns. Tomlinson received 44 of 50 MVP votes, with Brees getting four and Peyton Manning two that season. That’s as close as Brees ever has come to winning MVP. Until now. Last weekend solidified Brees as the MVP favorite. He is 9-1 with 25 touchdowns and one interception after the Saints won their ninth consecutive game with a no-doubt victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles. Brees has beaten the Rams, who beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Monday night. Yes, Mahomes threw six touchdowns against the Rams, but he also had five turnovers. In the Chiefs’ other loss, Mahomes threw two interceptions against the Patriots and was outplayed by Tom Brady. Mahomes is expected to have many more chances to win an MVP award. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...gue-mvp-award/ | |

Ick. Some of the comments on that article are ridiculous. And completely inaccurate.

Re: Drew Brees on verge of winning first league MVP award
The meaningful part of the article is that Charean Williams is one of the 50 MVP voters. It looks like Drew has her vote. She's been covering the NFL for 25 years and knows her stuff.
