  • Predicting the Quarterback-MVP
    Predicting the Quarterback-MVP Ryan Brill and Ryan Weisman ∗ July 2021 1 Introduction The NFL MVP award is chosen each year by a panel of 50 sportswriters who are selected by the Associated Press. As the MVP is chosen by humans who do not necessarily base their decision on statistics, but on watching all the games and talking to coaches and players, it is natural to wonder whether there is a mathematical rule that can describe the MVP selection process. So, our task is to create a statistical model that can predict the NFL MVP. Since 1987, only quarterbacks (QBs) and running backs (RBs) have won the MVP [1], with QBs taking the majority of the MVPs (79% = 27/34). Hence we restrict our analysis to QBs. 2 The Features Our first task is to create a model that selects the QB-MVP. We begin by assembling a dataset of QB statistics from nflfastR [2], which contains play-by-play data. We aggregate the play-by-play data into season-level statistics, so each row of the dataset includes the statistics of a given QB in a given year. We add an indicator column MVP which is a 1 if a given QB won the MVP in a given year, based on the datatable from [1]. Because we want to predict the QB-MVP, and we have a binary output column MVP, it is natural to use logistic regression. Note that we restrict ourselves to data since 2003 to keep our dataset relatively modern, and we remove 2005, 2006, and 2012 because RBs won the MVP that year.

  • Titans-Colts Supplemental Notes
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 11, 2020 TITANS-COLTS SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES SIMMONS MAKING PLAYS: Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons earned his first AFC Defensive Player of the Week award after helping to produce a pair of takeaways during last Sunday’s win against the Chicago Bears. In the third quarter, he forced a fumble that resulted in a 63-yard touchdown return by Titans cornerback Desmond King II, and he added a fumble recovery in the fourth quarter. Simmons, who also batted down a pass against the Bears, increased his totals in his second NFL season to two sacks, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. In six of the seven games he has played this season—he missed one contest while on the reserve/COVID-19 list—he has either a sack, a pass defensed, a forced fumble or a fumble recovery. Simmons is one of only three NFL defensive linemen this season with a minimum of two sacks, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. The other two members of the group are J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans and Benson Mayowa of the Seattle Seahawks.

  • Week 3 NFL Preview
    FOR USE AS DESIRED 9/22/20 WEEK 2 THRILLERS BOOST ANTICIPATION: PRIMETIME MATCHUPS HIGHLIGHT WEEK 3 SCHEDULE A last-second goal-line stand, a 58-yard walk-off field goal in overtime and, believe it or not, a “watermelon” onside kick to help overcome a 19-point halftime deficit? The NFL is just getting started on its 2020 script. The Week 3 screenplay could be just as thrilling. SUPERSTARS DOING SUPERSTAR THINGS: MVP candidates are aplenty through two weeks. Several of those candidates will be on opposite sidelines this week. Seattle and quarterback RUSSELL WILSON, who leads the NFL in passer rating (140.0), touchdown passes (nine) and completion percentage (82.5), host the DALLAS COWBOYS (4:25 PM ET Sunday, FOX), who last week became just the third team in the last 15 regular seasons to win after overcoming a two-score deficit in the final two minutes of regulation. Cowboys quarterback DAK PRESCOTT passed for 450 yards and one touchdown while rushing for three touchdowns last week, becoming the first player with at least 400 passing yards and three rushing touchdowns in a single game in NFL history. Reigning NFL MVP LAMAR JACKSON and his Ravens host reigning Super Bowl MVP PATRICK MAHOMES and the Chiefs on Monday Night Football (8:15 PM ET, ESPN). Mahomes (81 touchdown passes in 33 games) averages 2.45 touchdown passes per game, the highest mark in NFL history (minimum 30 games), ahead of the two next-closest players, PEYTON MANNING (2.03) and AARON RODGERS (2.02). Jackson, meanwhile, reached 2,000 career rushing yards in helping his team to a 2-0 start last week.

  • Nobody Bigger Than Tom Brady
    “THERE’S NOBODY BIGGER IN THE NFL THAN TOM BRADY” Six quarterbacks went off the board before the New England Patriots selected TOM BRADY with the 199th pick of the 2000 NFL Draft. Four years later, Brady is the only one of those quarterbacks with a Super Bowl appearance on his résumé, let alone two Super Bowl titles and Super Bowl MVP awards. Not only that, but Brady became the youngest starting quarterback in history to win an NFL championship (24), while also winning the MVP award in the Patriots’ 20-17 win over St. Louis in Super Bowl XXXVI. “He came in with me at Michigan,” said Raiders’ cornerback CHARLES WOODSON of Brady, one of his college teammates. “He never really got that chance to shine. Then he got to the pros and had to sit behind DREW BLEDSOE. Then he finally got his chance, and now, there's nobody in the NFL bigger than Tom Brady." With only two of the six signal-callers picked ahead of him staking claim to starting positions this season – CHAD PENNINGTON of the Jets and MARC BULGER of the Rams – Brady has accomplished more than anybody could have imagined since taking over as the starter for the Patriots. He continues to build a reputation as one of the top QBs in the NFL today, though other quarterbacks like PEYTON MANNING and STEVE MC NAIR might put up bigger numbers. "Tom Brady…I will play with him any day of the week,” says Patriots’ cornerback TY LAW. “With all due respect to Steve McNair, Peyton Manning and so many of the other great quarterbacks in the game today, I want to go out there with Tom Brady, because winning is the trump card of everything." Since his storybook rise to prominence with his first championship, Brady garnered another Super Bowl title and MVP award in New England’s 32-29 win over Carolina in Super Bowl XXXVII last season.
