The MVP race is heating up, and most of the fight is coming from the NFC.
On Sunday, Brock Purdy went out and led the 49ers to a win over the Eagles, bringing the Cowboys within a game of Philadelphia in the NFC East. Purdy was sublime with the help of a Globetrotters-level supporting cast, amassing 314 passing yards and four touchdowns.
On Thursday night, Dak Prescott led the Cowboys to a 41–35 win over the Seahawks (and the officials, who whistled the game like they wanted both teams to lose). Dallas got a vintage effort from Prescott, who threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns.
