Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has earned a clean sweep. Today, he was unanimously named the NFL MVP by the Associated Press. He received all 50 votes. This is after being named the league’s best offensive player earlier in the week.
Brady joins his childhood hero Joe Montana as the only players to win more than one MVP and more than one Super Bowl MVP. It came after a season that included 335 passes without an interception. He threw 36 touchdown passes against just four interceptions to go with his NFL-best 111.0 passer rating.
During an interview with NFL Network, Brady accepted the award on behalf of his teammates, coaches and the organization. But he didn’t seem thrilled with his second MVP honor.
“It’s a great award,” Brady told the NFL Network. “But I think playing in the Super Bowl is a greater honor than any quarterback could be (receiving) this time of year. ... The last thing I’ll be thinking about is the MVP. It’s contradictory to being a quarterback. Coach (Bill Belichick) said it best: We had the best regular season, we just didn’t have the best postseason.
