NFL Midseason Awards

Most Valuable Player- Peyton Manning; The future Hall of Famer is lighting up defenses like we've never seen a quarterback do before. Through the first half of the season Manning's stat line looks like this: 71.2 completion percentage, 2,919 yards, 29 touchdowns, 6 interceptions, and a 119.4 rating.
Offensive Player of the Year- Peyton Manning; He is on pace to break most, if not all, single season passing records.
Defensive Player of the Year- Robert Mathis; Mathis leads the league with 11.5 sacks this season, matching his career high. He's on pace to break the single season sack record, but I don' think that's going to happen. Nevertheless, the 32 year old looks like the best pass rusher in football right now.
Rookie of the Year- Eddie Lacy; Despite missing two games this season, he leads all rookies with 446 rushing yards. He should only get better as the season goes on.
Offensive Rookie of the Year- Eddie Lacy; There are some fairly productive rookies that have come on as of late, but to this point Eddie Lacy has been the best rookie on the offensive side of the ball.
Defensive Rookie of the Year- Kiko Alonso; Alonso has emerged as a leader on the Bills' defense and has proven to be a playmaker on defense. He's the league's second leading tackler and is tied for the league lead in interceptions with four.
Coach of the Year- Andy Reid; After going a league worst 2-14, the Kansas City Chiefs named Andy Reid as head coach and now, through eight weeks of the season, the Chiefs have the best record in football at 8-0.
Comeback Player of the Year- Darrelle Revis; He's not putting up great numbers and he's apart of a sinking ship known as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, he's still quietly playing great football and looking more and more like his old self every week. He's made a great recovery from that torn ACL he suffered last season.
