The Cincinnati Chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America has named quarterback Joe Burrow as the Bengals’ 2021 MVP, while tight end C.J. Uzomah won the Media Cooperation Award.
This marks the first MVP for Burrow, who finished as Pro Football Focus’ top-graded quarterback in the AFC (91.7), led the NFL in yards per attempt (8.9) and completion percentage (70.4%), and broke franchise records for passing yards (4,611) and touchdowns (34).
“Picking Burrow might be the easiest decision in the history of this award,” chapter president Paul Dehner Jr. said in a press release.
