NEW YORK Perhaps the prize ought to be called Most Valuable Peyton instead. Peyton Manning made NFL history by becoming the first player to win the award four times.
After 50 sports journalists and broadcasters covering the league cast their votes on Saturday, the incredible quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts easily won the honor.
He got 39½ votes, compared to 7½ for New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees. Only four players, all quarterbacks, were eligible to cast ballots.
The other two were Minnesota’s Brett Favre (1) and San Diego’s Philip Rivers (2).
Manning broke a tie with Favre by winning three MVPs in a row in 2003, 2004, and 2008.
