1. Drew Brees, NO 4952
1. Ben Roethlisberger, PIT 4952
3. Andrew Luck, IND 4761
4. Peyton Manning, DEN 4727
5. Matt Ryan, ATL 4694



I never remember any major NFL single season yardage Stat category being a tie before... its outstanding... also first Steeler QB to hold this lead in modern times, maybe ever I believe... TB never got higher than 3rd IIRC


Also props to AB in leading in Receiving yardage and catches... 129 grabs is 2nd most all time....

Bell finishes a distant second to murray in rushing yardage but only 46 yards behind him in yards from scrimmage. the injury likely cost him a chance to finish in the top 10 all time seasons in that... instead he will have to settle for the 22nd best season ever


The steelers lost the overall best offense in yardage by 5 yards to NO... Lol I guess we can legitimately blame that one on the D

Yet there's little to no discussion of Ben as a legit MVP candidate...

Or Brown or Bell. Really hate the fact that the MVP is a QB-only award. By the way, I think it should go to Watt.

Id agree if they made the postseason. I think it is obviously going to Rodgers You saw what they looked like with him out yesterday... Ben has no media support... had he thrown for 6k yards and 60 tds on an undefeated team, he might get a few votes

We all saw when Holmes won Super Bowl MVP that Ben has little chance at ever winning any major award. Any other QB in the league would have won it over Holmes (and that is taking absolutely nothing away from what Holmes did in that game).
