Even with quality performances around the league, Patrick Mahomes remains the favorite to win NFL MVP through Week 12, according to Peter King of NBC Sports.
The Kansas City Chiefs star threw just one touchdown pass in Sunday's blowout win over the Los Angeles Rams, but his team is red-hot with a 9-2 record. Mahomes leads the NFL with 3,585 passing yards and 29 touchdowns through 11 games despite losing No. 1 receiver Tyreek Hill in the offseason.
It helps the quarterback lead King's list of MVP contenders:
- Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City Chiefs
- Jalen Hurts, QB, Philadelphia Eagles
- Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Miami Dolphins
- Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills
- Justin Jefferson, WR, Minnesota Vikings
Jalen Hurts will have a strong argument leading the 10-1 Philadelphia Eagles, showcasing impressive dual-threat numbers and efficiency.
