The Falcons passer became the first player in franchise history to win an MVP award, which headlined an evening in which he was recognized for three different honors.

AP NFL Most Valuable Player Award - Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons

While the Patriots and Falcons will be busy finishing off preparations for Super Bowl LI, the rest of the NFL’s superstars will be in Houston for the league’s answer to the Emmy’s. The NFL crowned its most valuable player, top rookies, No. 1 head coach, and elite rookies after a rousing 2016 season.
Several favorites emerged over those 17 weeks. Ryan looks like a lock to win MVP, while Elliott, who ran for a league-high 1,631 yards in 15 games, finished behind his quarterback, Prescott, for the Offensive Rookie of the Year. Though Prescott said he wanted a knife to split the award in half. Defensive Player of the Year was a close a race, with Oakland’s Khalil Mack edging Denver’s Von Miller, last year’s winner.
