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

Philip Rivers

4. Peyton Manning

Surprise, surprise. Manning is again putting his name in the hat for the MVP.

Manning’s season has somewhat been brushed aside because Denver is coming off a Week 3 loss in overtime to the Seattle Seahawks, and now we’re not paying attention to the fact he leads one of the best offenses in football, owns a 9:1 touchdown to interception ratio and will probably wind up leading his team to 12 or 13 wins.

Through three games, Manning’s yardage total is down. I think the early bye week will help him and the offense, though, as they find a way to jump-start the running game to set up bigger plays down the field.
