At this point in the schedule, the MVP race is far too close to call. So instead of trying to predict who’ll wind up taking home the hardware, we’re celebrating the players who have defined the first six weeks of the season.

interesting note

And the Rams have taken full advantage. Gurley faces eight or more
rushers in the box on 10.08 percent of his carries, the seventh-lowest
rate in the league. On the surface, that doesn’t make any sense. Why the
hell would the league’s best running back face light boxes on nine out
of every 10 runs? The answer is that the Rams use 11 personnel on
nearly 93 percent of their running plays, and opponents are forced to
respond with sub-package defenses. Then Gurley responds in kind by
gashing them all game.
Perhaps why we saw Barr lined up on a WR multiple times.  Hope we get another shot at them in the playoffs.
