To put it into a different perspective, Derrick Henry ran for 2027 yards on 5.4 yards per carry and 17 TDs in 2020. He wasn't even a finalist. Genuinely wasn't even close to competing for an MVP, zero consideration. Aaron Rodgers won that year with 88% of the vote. Allen and Mahomes came in second & third, respectively. Mixon will have a strong season, barring injuries, but MVP talk is really beating an absurd drum.
You have to keep in mind that the Bengals are not a run heavy team, and they will not be a run heavy team. This team will live and die by Burrow & co. with Mixon as the sidekick. If anyone is winning MVP from Cincinnati, it is Burrow. He does have a real chance at doing that.
I betcha he gets votes. Votes is consideration.
