Who is the 2022 NFL MVP? jfmckessy makes the case for each of the top candidates. ChiefsKingdom | FlyEaglesFly | BillsMafia
Through nine weeks of the 2022 NFL season, the MVP race seems to have boiled down to three quarterbacks who have outperformed all of the rest this season: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Jalen Hurts.
