Russell Wilson just received 2020’s first Offensive Player of the Week award in the NFC. Additionally, Wilson generated early national conversation in his bid to finally win the NFL MVP.
It got me thinking: how many Player of the Week awards does the run-of-the-mill MVP winner receive throughout the season?
In short, Wilson is exactly one-third of the way to securing his Most Valuable honors.
In 2019 Lamar Jackson won the Player of the Week award five separate times, the most of any MVP winners over the last four seasons.
