Aaron Rodgers had won MVPs before -- three times, in fact, before this season -- but he had never won them in consecutive seasons until Thursday night.
Only Peyton Manning has won five MVPs, and it was Manning who handed Rodgers the award onstage at the NFL Honors awards show in Los Angeles. Rodgers, 38, became the fifth player in NFL history to win the award in consecutive seasons, joining Manning, Brett Favre, Joe Montana and Jim Brown.
He received 39 votes, while Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady got 10 and Los Angeles Rams receiver Cooper Kupp one. Rodgers has now won MVP for the 2011, 2014, 2020 and 2021 seasons.
A year after Rodgers threw a career-high 48 touchdowns and only five interceptions, he finished with 37 touchdowns and only four interceptions, giving him the best touchdown-to-interception ratio in the NFL. He missed one game due to COVID-19, but the Packers still captured the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The playoffs, in which the Packers lost in the divisional round to the 49ers, do not factor in the voting.
