I expected something like 4,800 yards and maybe 33 TDs for Mahomes. A good year for most QBs but a step back for him. Similar step back for Kelce due to age and now being the main focus for defenses to key on. 1,100 and 7 TDs or so.

Now, Mahomes is the MVP frontrunner and Kelce is quietly a dark horse OPOY candidate.

A 7th round rookie RB is averaging over 5 YPC, the OL has really settle in these last few weeks, Juju and MVS are better than Pringle/Robinson, Chris Jones is having a DPOY type season, and we're getting significant playing time out of 4th and 7th round rookie CBs.

If you'd told me 8-2 prior to the start of the season I'd have said "hell yeah, I'll take it!". Given the rest of the schedule, we could realistically be looking at a 14-4, 15-2 finish.
Can only QBs be MVP? Not that Mahomes doesn't deserve it (how many times has he carried the team this season), but why couldn't someone like Kelce be considered for MVP vs OPOY?
