Here's how and why Brock Purdy might win an NFL MVP award this season

The NFL MVP award often doesn't go to the best player but factors like team playoff appearances, narratives, and spreading the award to new winners affect the outcome. Quarterbacks usually receive the award, and if their team makes the postseason, their MVP chances improve. Currently, San Francisco 49ers' Brock Purdy, despite long odds, checks many boxes for a potential MVP. The 49ers have an easy schedule, enhancing his chances to post strong numbers. If Purdy shines late in the season, especially in prime time games, he could emerge as a strong MVP contender, benefiting from the narrative and novelty advantage.
