In a fierce and closely contested race, Stafford edged out 23-year-old New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, tallying 366 points to Maye's 361. As a result, Stafford has made history as the oldest quarterback ever to claim the league MVP award.
Throughout the season, Stafford racked up an impressive 46 touchdowns—the highest mark of his career.
This Sunday, the Super Bowl final will feature the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots, giving Drake Maye a chance to finish the season with a trophy of his own.
