NFL Quarter-Pole: Who’s The MVP So Far?

Philip Rivers

1. Philip Rivers

The San Diego Chargers are off to a 3-1 start, a spot ahead of the Peyton Manning-led Denver Broncos in the AFC West. The Bolts have beaten the likes of the Seattle Seahawks, with their only loss a heartbreaker in Week 1 against another playoff contender, the Arizona Cardinals.

Rivers’ career continues to be on the upswing in his second second under the tutelage of Mike McCoy. In four games, Rivers has completed 70.1 percent of his passes for 1,155 yards and nine touchdowns compared to just one interception. He’s the sixth-leading passer in the NFL, and doing so with suspect offensive line play and a beat up stable of running backs.
