Who is NFL MVP? When award is announced for Patriots’ Drake Maye or Rams’ Matthew Stafford

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye and Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford have both had MVP-level seasons.

Only one player can win that prestigious NFL award, though.

First, they're trying to get to the Super Bowl.

Maye's Patriots take on the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, and then it's Stafford's Rams against the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game later in the day.

There's a chance they face off in the Super Bowl. Votes have already been tallied for the regular season awards, but that'd be cool.
