Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been named NFL MVP, beating out New England Patriots passer Drake Maye and three other finalists to claim the marquee award for the first time in his career.
Stafford, who turns 38 on Saturday, was announced as the MVP at Thursday’s NFL Honors ceremony. He won the title over Maye, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Jacksonville Jaguars signal-caller Trevor Lawrence, and San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey.
Maye nearly won the prestigious award in his second NFL season, marking the closest MVP race since Peyton Manning and Steve McNair shared the honor in 2003.
