5- Matthew Stafford, Lions (last week: NR)
Stafford was near perfect in a 35-27 road win at New Orleans. He finished with as many incompletions as touchdowns (3).
4- Kirk Cousins, Redskins (last week: NR)
Kirk Cousins has the Redskins on the brink of an NFC East division crown after accounting for five total touchdowns (4 through the air, one on the ground) in a 35-25 win over Buffalo.
3- Teddy Bridgewater, Vikings (last week: NR)
Teddy Bridgewater put the Vikings in the drivers seat to make the playoffs after a five touchdown performance against the Chicago Bears. Bridgewater completed 17 of 20 passes for 231 yards and 4 touchdowns along with 17 yards rushing and another score.
2- Brandon Weeden, Texans (last week: NR)
Who would have thought, that the QB that Dallas threw away would be playing the hero for the other Texas team? In a crucial divisional matchup for first place, Weeden entered the game in relief and fired what would become, the game winning touchdown early in the 4th quarter. Houston tacked on a field goal later to add to their lead and held off the Colts in a 16-10 win.
1- Cam Newton, Panthers (last week: NR)
Just give Cam the MVP already, he’s awesome! While the rest of the football world buzzed about the WrestleMania match that broke out between Beckham Jr. and Josh Norman, Cam was shredding the NY Giants defense to the tune of 5 touchdowns and for good measure, added a 100 yards rushing.
Cam takes the No. 1 spot for the Otto’s in Week 15, and truth be told, probably locked up the MVP after Sunday’s win over the Giants.
