340/515 66.0% 4,333 8.4 33/9 106.2
Newton finished, 296/495 59.8% 3,837 7.8 35/10 99.4 (Newton did win the award finishing 8th in passer rating, so his record could have still put him over the top)

Sticking with the hypothetical, if they get over the hump against Pitt in the game he was injured, they finish 13-3 and who knows how the Denver game turns out. Then, with how close the playoff game was against Pitt...

None of it matters because it didn't happen (another Bengals theme   ), but we don't know for sure that it wouldn't have. 

Note: I know the Pitt playoff game wouldn't have mattered re: MVP, but dreamers will dream....even though i hate that and "hope". 

If Bengals had just one more win that season, they would have been 1st place in the conference and would have had a bye week. They would have only ended up playing PIT if PIT won the WC game. Had that 1 win come against PIT, PIT would have not made the playoffs.

Oh, what could have been...
