Mahomes has to be focused on getting the ball out quicker to his guys who can get yards after the catch. On his 41 attempts he has 770 yards and 10 touchdowns.Īccording to SIS, Mahomes is tied with Kirk Cousins when it comes to facing the most Cover-6 and prevent looks - 33 drop backs, to only 13 dropbacks for Hurts’. Hurts leads the league when throwing 15+ air yards on go/fly, fades, post and corner routes. What this tells us is that Hurts gets more of his touchdowns from the deep ball, which defenses have taken away from Mahomes, due to his past success.
Hurts has 169 yards on 47 attempts, nine passing touchdowns, 11 rushing touchdowns and zero interceptions, with a 1.83 EPA. On Mahomes’ 108 attempts from within the red zone, he has 391 yards, 31 passing touchdowns, four rushing touchdowns and only three interceptions with a 13.42 EPA. So, when it comes down to the numbers race, Mahomes takes it, easy. The second closest is Tua Tagovailoa with 66.16. To put the nail in the coffin, looking at total EPA, which is expected points per attempt, Mahomes leads the league by a mile with 107.64. There are only two categories where Hurts’ leads Mahomes, and it’s yards per attempt (8.2) and interceptions (5). Mahomes has been playing his best ball since he entered the league in 2018, which was the last time he won MVP. It’s fair to say that we all thought the Chiefs’ offense would take a hit losing after Hill, and yet somehow head coach Andy Reid and Mahomes have been able to spread the ball around, increasing production. This year, they lead the league in Passing DVOA with 42.1% and also Points Earned per Pass Play with. In 2021, they were third in Passing DVOA at 35.7% and seventh highest in Points Earned per Pass Play with. This is important to mention because last year, the Chiefs were fourth in passing yards per game, with 281.8, and this year they are first, averaging 303.5 per game. Most importantly, he’s been able to do this after losing his number one deep threat target in the offseason, Tyreek Hill. He leads the league passing yards per game with 314.7. He has 4,720 passing yards (1st), 37 touchdowns (1st) and 11 interceptions (20th. That being said, Mahomes is still winning the numbers race. Within that time, Hurts was able to adjust and went those first four games without throwing a single interception. of 350 attempts), with five.Īlso, if we are going to bring up Mahomes losing Tyreek Hill, it’s only fair to consider how big of a loss tight-end Dallas Goedert was from weeks 10-15. Hurts also has the least number of interceptions in the league (min. He’s thrown 22 touchdown passes, and has 13 on the ground. Hurts has 3,472 passing and 747 rushing yards. This year they are at 29.9%, which is fifth overall that is a huge leap! (For more information on DVOA, here is the definition from Football Outsiders).Īlso, the guys over at also believe that these are the two most efficient quarterbacks in the league:
Last year, the Eagles had an Offensive DVOA of 18.0% which was 14th overall. The Eagles also have the most points scored on offense in the league with 445. He took the Eagles from eight wins in 2021, to now having the best record in the NFL sitting at 13-2. One of the reasons why Hurts is still in the MVP conversation is the leap he’s made from last year to this year. So, let’s dive a bit deeper into the film and the stats to see if we can determine which quarterback was the Most Valuable Player for their football team! The Eagles having a better overall team and Hurts missing last week’s game shouldn’t automatically remove Hurts from the conversation. Hurts has 4,219 total yards, 35 total touchdowns and only five interceptions.Mahomes has a league-high 4,720 passing yards, with 41 total touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Is this still an MVP race between the two? It’s important to note that Minshew also threw two interceptions, and in Hurts’ last matchup against the Cowboys, he had two touchdowns, zero interceptions and a QBR of 104.6. Some are arguing that with the number of points Minshew was able to accumulate on offense, it must mean that Hurts isn’t as valuable to his team as some thought. Eagles backup quarterback Gardner Minshew put up 34 points despite taking a loss. This was after Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts sat out in last week’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has taken the lead in the 2022 Most Valuable Player race with only two weeks left in the regular season.
