Winners for 6th Annual NFL Honors!
On the eve of Super Bowl LI, the National Football League held their 6th Annual NFL Honors. The award presentation, which aired on FOX Network, home of today’s big game, was hosted by Keegan-Michael Key for two hours. During the celebration, Atlanta Falcons quarterback, Matt Ryan walked away with the Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year honors.
With nearly 5 thousand yards thrown, 38 touchdowns and a mere 7 interceptions for the year, Ryan helped lead the dirty birds to become the league’s highest-scoring offense. In an interesting note, the league MVP hasn’t played for a Super Bowl champion since Kurt Warner’s St. Louis Rams in 2000, which Ryan prepares to hopefully end that 17-year streak. As Tom Brady looks to further his legacy tomorrow, with a fifth ring, take a look below at the full list of award winners.
