Peyton Manning, the NFL's MVP
When the Jets travel to Indianapolis on Sunday, they will need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. New York will also face the NFL’s best player – Peyton Manning – who has led the Colts to a 14-0 record, and who is on track to win his fourth league MVP award. Take a look at these stats:
4,213 yards passing, 33 touchdown passes, and a quarterback rating of 101.2. Remarkable how great Manning is year in, year out. The easiest player in the NFL to root for.
And that brings me to the NFL’s second-best player, at least based on this year’s performance. Manning aside, Jets’ cornerback Darrelle Revis is next to lay claim to the MVP award. He’s been the best defensive player in the league this year, shutting down the likes of Randy Moss, Andre Johnson, Marques Colston, Terrell Owens, and Steve Smith. 49 tackles and six interceptions, and that only begins to tell the story.
Jets vs. Colts. Manning vs. Revis. Playoffs on the line. It should be fun Sunday in Indy.
