The NFL season is no longer a marathon. It’s a sprint. And the same is true of the MVP conversation.
Last week, Brock Purdy stepped to the fore once again as he did at the season’s start when the 49ers began 5–0. However, his main competition is from San Francisco’s decades-long rival: the Cowboys’ Dak Prescott.
With both teams at 9–3, Prescott and Purdy are fighting not only for hardware but also for the NFC’s top seed. Ironically, the Niners will hold that spot if both they and the Cowboys win Sunday (over the Seahawks and Eagles, respectively).
