Patrick Mahomes named 2022 NFL MVP

Three days before Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes of Tyler, Texas is trying to win the NFL’s top team honour (The Super Bowl), he won the NFL’s top individual honour (MVP) on Thursday. For Mahomes it was his second NFL MVP Award, as he previously won in 2018.

Mahomes completed 435 of 648 attempts this season. He led the NFL in passing yards (5250), touchdown passes (41), yards per game (308.8), and quarterback rating (77.6). Many expected that the Chiefs offense might struggle a little bit after trading wide receiver Tyreek Hill in the offseason to the Miami Dolphins. Well, it didn’t, and it was mainly because Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had another miraculous season, as he had career highs in receptions (110) and touchdown catches (12).

Even though Mahomes won the MVP, he did not win the Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year. That award went to Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson of St. Rose, Louisiana. He led the NFL in catches (128), receiving yards (1809), and receiving yards per game (106.4).

The Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year went to San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He had a NFL-high 18.5 sacks.

History was made when the coach of the year was announced. That is because for the first time ever, the award was won by a Canadian. Brian Daboll of Welland, Ontario, turned the Giants around from a 4-13 season to a record of 9-7-1, and a postseason berth. Other award winners included Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith of Miramar, Florida (comeback player of the year), New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson of Columbus, Ohio (offensive rookie of the year) and Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner of Detroit, Michigan (defensive rookie of the year).
