New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is leaving the NFL Honors awards ceremony with some more hardware, having earned recognition as the 2019 Offensive Player of the Year. That’s huge for him, but we can’t overlook a serious snub for another category: NFL Coach of the Year, which went to Baltimore Ravens shot-caller John Harbaugh. Here’s how the voting shook out, per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley:
-
Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers: 14
-
Matt LaFleur, Green Bay Packers: 3
-
Mike Tomlin, Pittsburgh Steelers: 2
-
Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills: 2
Payton’s candidacy needs little elaboration.
