Dan Patrick: "The MVP usually comes from one of the top-two seeds in each conference. It's a quarterback award. That does bode well for Brock Purdy. You're looking at the quarterbacks - it will be Purdy, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Tua Tagovailoa. Brock Purdy is first in completion percentage, first in TD-to-interception ratio, second in yards-per-pass attempt, third in passing yards, first in team margin of victory. And you have a bargain here. So, I factor in his salary, how he's playing, covers up for the Trey Lance mess, and they're the best team right now. And it looks like the NFC is probably going to go through San Francisco."
