NFL MVP Power Rankings: Josh Allen moves up the rankings after Week 8

4. Kyler Murray

Last Week: 2

The final play of the game could have changed the narrative for Kyler Murray after this past week. He threw a back shoulder pass to wide receiver A.J. Green who didn’t see it and it was intercepted to hand the Cardinals their first loss of the season.

However, prior to that play, Murray didn’t look that great and finished the game with 274 passing yards, zero touchdowns, two interceptions. For the season, Murray now ranks seventh in passing yards per game (284.5), with 17 passing touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also found the end zone three times on the ground.

The race at the top is very close and the reason that Murray is at fourth is that he has one of the higher interception totals among the players in these power rankings.
