So it's Wilson's to lose as we sit, right? A big night Sunday to possibly win the division could be the game to decide this thing.

Not a great week for the presumed front-runners. I still think it's Wilson but obviously he won't get it if the Hawks miss the playoffs. Wentz is done. Brady hasn't looked good for 2 weeks now, but if he handles Pittsburgh like he usually does, he may win it by default.
If Pittsburgh wins next week, Brady is out of the running and I think Brown, Bell, or Gurley have a good shot. For a player other than a QB to get the award, usually the player has to do something historic or close to it. Peterson almost broke the rushing yards record in 2012; Faulk, Alexander, and Tomlinson each broke the TD record, Sanders almost broke the rushing record in 1997.
The last time a player didn't really meet that criteria and won the award was Emmitt in 1993, when the Cowboys were clearly the best team, he was their MVP, and that's that. And I'm sure Steve Young got a lot of consideration that year, but he had just won the previous season.
Yeah don't forget, they've never voted for a wide receiver. Which makes sense because presumably the QB would be having an exceptional year too if the WR is doing something historic. But this year is a little different, Brown could end up with 120 catches for 1800 yards, both top 10 all time (and the 2nd time he's done it in 3 years, he's such a beast), while playing on a winning team, with a QB who isn't really in MVP consideration. The only other comparable I can find is Jerry Rice in 1995, who did finish 2nd in the MVP to Brett Favre.ITs gonna take a lot for voters to select Brown but he's my front runner now
I think Wentz would have taken a significant lead after how this week played out
But
Possibly. His yards/game is the 4th highest since the MVP award has been handed out, in a non-strike shortened season. And the 3 guys ahead of him played on a 4-12, 4-12, and 8-8 team.Only way Brown wins MVP is if he finishes with over 2,000 yards.
