Despite his fantastic numbers, our defense would have to play at an elite level for that to be a consideration. We've played very good the last couple of weeks against lower-tier offenses. Let's see if our healthy defense can do it against better offenses ... starting with the Giants?

Football Outsiders has us with the 2nd-best defense in the league (behind NE), which is a little surprising to me, but that's pretty much elite. And we did that before we were anywhere near as healthy as we are now.

Of course, FO's numbers don't account for the fact that we've been facing a lot of backup QBs (Glennon, Allen) and injured QBs (Taysom)...but then, it was our defense that injured the starters, so...

They're going to default MVP to a QB. The award might as well stand for Most Valuable Passer.

Cooper Kupp should win it.

1. Brady
2. Parsons

The two best players in the league.

The uncanny thing about Micah Parsons is he doesn't just sack the quarterback; he DISLODGES the ball. He knows how to hit with enough force and enough leverage (and knows when to tomahawk chop) that the ball comes loose from the quarterback.

A lot of players can get to the quarterback, but they don't always make them fumble the ball. Parsons can do both.

what amazes me is his closing speed getting to the QB. Like watching a Cheetah getting its prey. lol
