NFL MVP Chase heading into Week 13
QBs can run.
Welcome to the MVP Chase, where I look for, or chase, the best objective criteria in determining greatness without personal bias.
Today’s topic: NFL MVP Chase and Week 13 picks
Attention: If you enjoy The MVP Chase and my other writing, please read this. I need your support right now to continue.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had a 96.3 passer rating in last week’s win over the Packers. That wasn’t good enough to earn a point in the MVP Chase, but his 157 yards rushing was.
To earn an MVP point:
- A quarterback must have a 100.0+ passer rating in a win or tie.
- A back or receiver must have 100+ yards from scrimmage in a win or tie.
Multiple players on the same team can earn an MVP point in the same game.
This week, we have two players in the lead, including Hurts.
7 MVP Points
Justin Jefferson, WR, Vikings
Jalen Hurts, QB, Eagles
6 MVP Points, 5 players
Joe Burrow, QB, Bengals
Patrick Mahomes, QB, Chiefs
