Tom Brady Wins NFL MVP

The three-time MVP winner will be chasing a bigger trophy Sunday.

FOXBOROUGH, MA — Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been named the 2017 NFL MVP. It is the third time winning for the future Hall of Famer in his 18th year. Brady also won the awards in a record-setting 2007 and 2010.

Brady was named MVP at a Saturday night NFL awards shows. At 40, he becomes the oldest MVP winner in league history. Brady threw for a league-high 4,577 yards to go along with 32 touchdowns and only eight interceptions. The Patriots were once again the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

The award is nice, but Brady is shooting for a bigger trophy Sunday. He leads his New England Patriots against the Philadelphia Eagles in his quest for a sixth Super Bowl championship.
