The president of the Philadelphia Eagles, Saquon Barkley, was announced as the offensive player of the year in the NFL championship, as expected. This 26-year-old running back, who excelled throughout the season, dominated the competition. Although there were no big surprises, the competition for the MVP award was extremely tense. In the last minute, Josh Allen, the leader of the Buffalo attack, defeated Lamar Jackson of Baltimore by 383 votes to 362, even though both candidates were in great shape. This is the first MVP award for Alen.
The election came just a few days before the Super Bowl, when the Philadelphia Eagles will meet the Kansas City Chiefs again in a rematch of last year's final. At that spectacle, another clash of big teams is expected, in which they will fight for the Lombardi trophy. It is difficult to give the right answer as to who could celebrate in this big match, but it is clear that both teams are hungry and eager to reach such a coveted trophy.
Awards and recognition for the best individuals: Patrick Surtain on the list
While the offensive award was a sure thing, the competition for Defensive Player of the Year was just as exciting. Patrick Surtain, cornerback of the Denver Broncos, who, without a doubt, deserved this prestigious award ended up on the throne. In the fight for the best defensive rookie of the season, Jared Verse, the Los Angeles Rams' point guard, won the first position. On the other hand, Jaden Daniels from Washington won the title of the best offensive rookie.
However, off the field we had several big names that marked the season. The best coach is Kevin O'Connell from Minnesota, while the returner of the year is Joe Burrow from Cincinnati. Jacksonville defensive lineman Arik Armstead received the Walter Peyton Award for social responsibility.
All these guys and their achievements showed that the NFL is not only a competition, but also a real school of life for every athlete.
Although some are not entirely happy with this choice, it seems that there is a lot of reality in this choice, no matter how much some raise their voices.
