Washington’s Mark Moseley was shocked to be named MVP of the 1982 season, and he believes (rightfully) that his feat will never be matched. As for defense, linebacker Lawrence Taylor of the New York Giants won it in 1986, and defensive tackle Alan Page of the Minnesota Vikings won in 1971.

The NFL MVP has long been a quarterback's award. No non-QB has won it since Adrian Peterson back in 2012. There have been just four instances in the 2000s of that occurring: Peterson, LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006, Shaun Alexander in 2005 and Marshall Faulk in 2000.

Saquon Barkley entered Sunday as a +6000 long shot to win MVP, tied with or behind 14 players. The Eagles star soared up the oddsboard following a historic Sunday Night Football performance.Barkley became the ninth player in NFL history to rush for at least 255 yards in a game.
