Steve McNair, 2003 MVP
In one of the deepest fields ever, McNair and Peyton Manning split the award with 16 votes each. Tom Brady got eight and Jamal Lewis, whose 2,066 rushing yards were then good enough for second-most ever, got five. Manning was superior to McNair, leading the league in completions, completion percentage, and passing yards, but the award probably should have gone, again, to Priest Holmes, who amassed 2,110 yards from scrimmage and whose 27 combined touchdowns were then good for second all-time.
