By the end of Sunday night's game there were seven quarterbacks tied for the NFL lead in interceptions and three had something in common: They were preseason favorites for MVP.
Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts all have eight interceptions. None of the three have been all that great this season. Mahomes has the lowest passer rating of his career. Hurts has a lower rating than Mahomes. Allen is leading a Buffalo Bills team that has been moderately disappointing with some bad losses. None of them have been bad, but it would be hard to argue any of them is having an MVP season., but it's half-hearted.
On Sunday, Hill became the first player in the Super Bowl era to reach 1,000 yards in his team's first eight games. He leads the NFL in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. He's on pace for 2,155 receiving yards , 130 catches and 17 touchdowns. In every Dolphins game, Hill is the player who defenses account for first, and it often makes no difference. Hill has an NFL-best seven 40-yard catches and only one other player has more than three .
If there was a season when a non-quarterback should get a look, it's this one. None of the elite quarterbacks have been great. No quarterback is having a transcendent season. Here's how it will go, in reality: Hill could have the NFL's first 2,000-yard receiving season and maybe he'll get a token vote or two for MVP. If no quarterback has an MVP-level season — and nobody has yet, except maybe Tagovailoa — voters will just find the best quarterback and give it to him anyway. Hill will have to settle for Offensive Player of the Year, even if he's the best player in the league. And that's exactly what he has been through the first half of the season.
