Week 18's round of action is officially in the books, which means NFL MVP voters have all the possible evidence to make their decision regarding who will be crowned the league's Most Valuable Player for the year. For most of the second half of the season, the race has been between Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, though the likes of Joe Burrow, Jared Goff, and Sam Darnold have also been in the conversation.
Over the years, the NFL MVP race has been dominated by quarterbacks. Only 18 non-QBs have taken home the MVP in 65 years, with Adrian Peterson in 2012 being the last. This year, another running back has made a strong case to be considered as the league's MVP — Saquon Barkley. Given the Philadelphia Eagles star was just 101 yards shy of breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing yards total, many in NFL circles believe Barkley should be under strong consideration for the award.
