Who Won the MVP in the 2018 NFL Season?

The 2018 NFL season is over and the MVP has been announced. Who won the MVP?

Tom Brady

Tom Brady was the favorite to win the MVP entering the 2018 NFL season. He had just come off of a Super Bowl win, and he was playing for the best team in the league. Brady didn’t have the best statistical season of his career, but he was still the most valuable player in the league.

New England Patriots

The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston region. The Patriots compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team plays its home games at Gillette Stadium in the town of Foxborough, Massachusetts, which is located 28 miles (45 km) southwest of downtown Boston.

The Patriots are also headquartered at Gillette Stadium. An original member of the American Football League (AFL), the Patriots joined the NFL in 1970 as part of the AFL–NFL merger. The team changed its name from the original Boston Patriots after relocating to Foxborough in 1971. The Patriots played their home games at Foxboro Stadium from 1971 to 2001, then moved to Gillette Stadium at the start of 2002 season.

The Patriots have appeared in ten Super Bowls since 2001, winning seven of them, most recently Super Bowl LIII in 2018. They have since become the second team to win a championship and be crowned world champions three times following their victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII, joining the Pittsburgh Steelers who accomplished this feat twice previously with victories in Super Bowl IX and XLIII.

Stats

In the 2018 NFL season, Brady had a total of 4,355 passing yards with 29 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

Drew Brees

Drew Brees, who plays for the New Orleans Saints, was named the 2018 NFL season MVP. Brees threw for 32 touchdowns and 5,131 yards, leading the Saints to a 13-3 record and a first-round bye in the playoffs.

Drew Brees was named the MVP of the 2018 NFL season after leading his team to a 13-3 record and throwing for 3,992 yards and 32 touchdowns. This was an incredible accomplishment, as Brees became only the second player in NFL history to win multiple MVP awards (Peyton Manning is the other).
