AP MVP QBs And Postseason Wins
Posted: Sat Jan 25, 2025 5:16 pm
With QBs having a strangle-hold on AP MVP awards, I wanted to list the QBs that won MVP awards but had little, if any success, leading their teams in postseason.
AP MVP QBs With No Career Postseason Wins
1963 -- YA Tittle
1969 -- Roman Gabriel*
1976 -- Bert Jones**
1980 -- Brian Sipe
Of the 10 QBs with Multiple AP MVP awards since 1957, Lamar Jackson has the fewest postseason wins with three, which may also duplicate his third MVP award.
When Ken Anderson won MVP in 1981, it was also the only year he won in postseason with two wins.
*Gabriel probably should have been MVP in 1967, but Unitas won his third award after leading the Colts to an 11-0-2 start.
**This MVP award played a role in Jones being elected HOVG despite an injury-shortened career.
