It’s not disparaging when he ends up as #4, guys. He didn’t win MVP. He didn’t deserve MVP (or OPOTY). It’s okay. He won a SB and that matters a helluva lot more.

And what about 2018? MVP of the league. 50 TD and 5,000 yards. Ranked #4 in the NFL list. Drew Brees was ahead of him. Personally I think Brees had a pretty nice advantage playing at least 9 games in a dome. Mahomes played zero dome games in the 2018 season.
