🦅 FlyEaglesFly: Jalen Hurts is one of the finalists for the AP's NFL MVP Award. Check out his competition. NBCSPhilly
The Eagles were 14-1 with Hurts as a starter during the regular season and were 0-2 with him on the bench. In a way, the Eagles’ failure to win a game with Gardner Minshew at quarterback against the Cowboys and Saints strengthens Hurts’ MVP candidacy.
But those other four finalists put together strong seasons too. And, remember, this is a regular season award:Joe Burrow: 68.3%, 4,475 yards, 35 TDs, 12 INTs; 257 rushing, 5 TDSJustin Jefferson: 128 receptions, 1,809 yards, 8 TDsBased on his AP All-Pro nod, Mahomes seems like the clear favorite to win the award this season. Hurts was named to the second team.
While Hurts got some love as an MVP candidate, two other Eagles could be considered snubs for other awards . Haason Reddick was not named a finalist for the Defensive Player of the Year award and Brandon Graham was not named a finalist for the Comeback Player of the Year award.The finalists for Comeback Player: Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, Geno Smith
Reddick put together a strong season in 2022 with 16 sacks in 17 games. He also had 5 forced fumbles and 26 quarterback hits. He was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career. And Graham returned this season at 34 years old and coming off an Achilles tear that ended his 2021 season in the second game. All Graham did this season was set a career high in sacks with 11 as a rotational player.
