Breaking: just in now Patrick Mahomes wins 2nd MVP award ahead of Super Bowl Following the…….
Phoenix— When it came to the AP NFL Most Valuable Player award, Patrick Mahomes topped the vote. He will now attempt to lift the MVP curse.
With 48 of 50 first-place votes from a nationwide panel of media members who frequently cover the league, Mahomes, who previously won in 2018, handily defeated Jalen Hurts. Hurts received one first-place vote, 26 seconds, 11 thirds, and 10 fourths, while he received 490 points to 193.
In Sunday’s Super Bowl, Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs (16-3) take on Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles (16-3).
At Thursday night’s NFL Honors, Mahomes gave a video thank you to his teammates and the Chiefs organization.
“Without all of you, I would never be standing here,” Mahomes remarked. “To win the Super Bowl, the ultimate goal, we have given it our all every single day. This weekend, let’s keep pursuing that desire.
The 27-year-old Mahomes is the third player to win his second MVP before turning 28, joining Brett Favre (27) and Jim Brown (22).
In the second-closest race Thursday, Brian Daboll won AP Coach of the Year after leading the New York Giants to their first playoff appearance in six years. Daboll received 16 first-place votes and 123 total points to outpace 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, who got 12 votes for first and 100 points.
Other awards announced late Thursday:
Jets cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner was named the AP defensive rookie of the year. Gardner, the No. 4 overall pick in the draft, started every game for the Jets. He had two interceptions and allowed just 33 catches on 73 targets.
