Two quarterbacks who helped their respective teams earn home-field advantage in the NFL playoffs are the favorites to win Most Valuable Player.
Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes and New Orleans' Drew Brees had fantastic seasons in the pocket, and although they're at different points of their careers, both are in the hunt for their first MVP honor.
Brees has won everything imaginable since entering the NFL in 2001 out of Purdue. In total he has earned Super Bowl XLIV MVP, 11 Pro Bowl selections, two Offensive Player of the Year awards and one First-Team All-Pro nod.
