Overview
- Matthew Stafford leads the NFL in passing yards (4,179), touchdown passes (40) and passer rating (112.1), putting him on rare QB triple crown watch last achieved by Aaron Rodgers in 2020.
- Prediction markets and sportsbooks place Stafford around 70% to win entering Week 17, with Drake Maye in the mid‑20s and Josh Allen trailing far behind.
- An NFL Network survey of team executives gave Stafford 18 votes to Drake Maye’s five, underscoring his frontrunner status.
- Drake Maye’s fourth‑quarter comeback over the Ravens boosted his case, and a Patriots AFC East title could tilt voters if the Rams remain a wild card.
- Down the stretch, Los Angeles faces the Falcons and Cardinals, New England plays the Jets then Dolphins, and historical voting trends give weight to division crowns and top seeds.
