On NFL Honors Night, the hits kept coming for the Indianapolis Colts as a franchise, as 1st-team NFL All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor finished second in voting to the Los Angeles Rams Cooper Kupp for 2021 AP NFL Offensive Players of the Year honors.
Kupp received 35 of a possible 50 votes, while Taylor, as the runner up, received 10 votes.
It was expected to be largely a two-man race, but given the Rams overall team success this season—ultimately even reaching this weekend’s Super Bowl, compounded by the Colts shocking late season collapse—and the final voting result isn’t all that surprising.
