I don’t know, or really care, who is going to win MVP this season. But the Bills beating the Chiefs last week certainly helped Josh Allen’s case. When two candidates go “head to head”–really their teams–it gives voters an easy out on ranking them. So this week we have, potentially, a Defensive Rookie of the Year show down in the (NFC) West.
An award winning day?
Quinyon Mitchell “vs” Jared Verse, and both will have their opportunities to state their case. Eight of the last ten Defensive Rookies of the Year have been either an edge rusher or a cornerback, and these two are the odds on favorites to win.
