Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers tied an MVP season with the best individual performance of week 17
No lack of great performances on the last day of the regular season of the NFL. In fact, there were some individual performances we didn’t include this time around that would have made our list in a lean week.
In addition, there were more than one who raised their hand to take the place of honor, including two runners from the AFC on who topped the 250 rushing yards with two touchdowns to ensure the presence of their respective teams in the postseason.
The favorite to win the largest individual prize distributed in the NFL – for the third time – he was also individually best at the end of the season.
There are several names worthy of votes for the award of Most valuable player for the 2020 season in the NFL. However, and after Week 17 display, all arrows point to Green bay.
Rodgers confirmed against the Bears this afternoon, with 19 completes of 24 tries for 240 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions, that he is having one of his best moments as a quarterback of NFL.
Like other seasons of Rodgers They had left us speechless, 2020’s one surpasses in many ways what it has done in the past. Today was his seventh game of the year with six touchdown passes, and his fifth without interception. In fact, today was one of 12 games in the year where he didn’t deliver the ball via interception, although it must also be said that Chicago he forgave him a few times.
Anyway, Packers They are the best team in the National conference, according to the postseason seeding, and no one did more than put them there Rodgers. Week after week, No. 12 has delivered a season of revitalization that not many expected from the future member of the Hall of Fame.
Most important is that Rodgers let the people around you shine, and it is difficult to price. Without being a star Marquez Valdes-Scantling is already a well-known name, Robert Tonyan was bound for the leadership of the NFL in touchdown catches for tight ends, and even today Dominique Dafney got his touchdown. Who knew that Packers they had a player by name Dominique Dafney?
He Lombardi it’s a long way off, and we know there are no guarantees. But when Rodgers and the Packers they conquered the Super Bowl In the 2010 campaign, we assumed he wouldn’t stop with one ring. This 2020 is his best chance in many years to add the second.
Honorable Mentions
Tom Brady, Quarterback, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady completed 26 of 41 pass attempts for 399 yards and four touchdowns against an interception, beating the Bucs to the Falcons. The good news is that Brady much involved Antonio Brown and Chris Godwin, with two touchdown passes each; the bad can do without it Mike Evans, who sustained a knee injury, although there appears to be no structural damage.
Brandin Cooks, Abierto Receptor, Houston Texans. The defense refused to take the field in the clash between Tennessee and Houston, but the attacking players made no mistake and took advantage of it. Cooks was one of them, with 11 catches for 166 yards and two touchdowns that got the players in serious trouble. Titans. Not much raw material around Deshaun Watson, thinking of the long-term plan, but CooksIf you can stay healthy, you could be a valuable part of rebuilding.
JK Dobbins, Corredor, Baltimore Ravens. It took a long time, but in the end it seems that there are definitely people out there who post from the backfield of Baltimore, after the apparent loss of games from Mark Ingram II. The beginner Dobbins he sent with 13 carriers for 160 yards and two touchdowns. The only way to keep Baltimore in motion is that the runners are productive from the backfield, because that’s when the danger of Lamar Jackson multiplies exponentially. If they can be beaten Tennessee in a highly anticipated rematch they need this kind of match Dobbins.
Derrick Henry, Corredor, Tennessee Titans. Henry countered the game Texans 223 rush yards to become the eighth member of the 2,000 exclusive club, the running backs who have added at least 2,000 rushing yards in a season of NFL. After a performance of 34 carries for 250 meters and two touchdowns, that helped Tennessee to hastily conquer the title of the division, Henry converted the Titans in the only franchise in the league with two members in the 2,000 club: Chris Johnson and now Henry. And if that wasn’t enough, Henry took his second crown as the leading rider in the NFL successively, something that had not happened since then LaDainian Tomlinson, in the 2006 and 2007 campaigns.
Marvin Jones Jr., Wide Receiver, Detroit Lions. Eight receptions were enough for every 180 meters Jones led the league in Week 17, two of which resulted in touchdowns during the shootout NFC North with star in between Lions and Vikings, two teams that were already eliminated in the postseason-game, but that even hit the bucket in Week 17.
Dean Marlowe, Security, Buffalo Bills. Yes the Accounts They were already qualified, but if they think that’s reason to make way for a division rival in the postseason, they’re wrong. Accounts they crushed the Dolphins by 56-26, winning the new quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on one of his worst days of NFL. There were three interceptions against the passer-by Miami, and two of them fell into the hands of Marlowe, which served from a rotating role behind the starting protections Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde.
Jonathan Taylor, Corredor, Indianapolis Colts. The Foals they had to win to get into the late season, and the Jaguars they threatened to surprise, but the rookie running back wouldn’t allow it. Taylor he ran the ball 30 times for 253 yards – a new franchise record – with two touchdowns, including a 45-yard run that put the final distance at 28-14.
Leonard Williams, take on the defensive, New York Giants. The defense line of the Cowboys was another tear, giving up six quarterback sacks Andy Dalton for New Yorkers. I write down half of that Williams which, flying under the radar, is one of the best recent additions to the roster of the Giants, of the Jets. Williams he’s signing up to become a free agent next year, and he won’t be short of good offers.
