Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow entered Thursday night’s NFL Honors up for MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, and Comeback Player of the Year awards.
He exited the event with his second CPOTY honor.
While Burrow took that home, the OPOTY went to Saquon Barkley, not Burrow’s teammate Ja’Marr Chase. Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills won the MVP.

By most accounts, Burrow had an MVP-worthy season and was held back by overall team struggles compared to the other finalists. He completed 70.6 percent of his passes over 17 games, throwing for 4,918 yards and 43 touchdowns against nine interceptions, the last two numbers leading all passers.
It was a remarkable campaign for Burrow, who entered it off the season-ending wrist injury. He put together his best season to date and now turns his attention toward contract matters and how they might help the Bengals front office in extension talks with big names around him.
