To win the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award, it won’t be enough for Joe Burrow to produce league-leading statistics.
Simpson in 1973 was the last player to win the MVP award but miss the playoffs.
Running back Chris Johnson was the last Offensive Player of the Year to miss the playoffs, in 2009, when Tennessee finished 8-8.
That is also the worst record for any team to produce an Offensive Player of the Year, according to NBC Sports Research.
In both MVP and Offensive Player of the Year, then, a .500 or better record has been the baseline.
