I'm going with Andy......but I can't believe Joe Mixon doesn't have one single vote.
The numbers are pretty good, but what I feel is being overlooked is how having a legitimate run threat back there opens up the playaction. It's hard to get LBs and DBs to bite on the play fake when you avg 2.9 YPC. I would have voted for him myself, but 4 game winning drives is 4 game winning drives. Andy has looked like he doesn't even realize it's under a minute in the 4th qtr. out there. He's been absolutely clutch, and so has AJ and Boyd.
I LOVE what Boyd is bringing to the offense, he's definitely the breakout star.....although Mixon could have a bit of a claim to that as well. AJ does AJ things. If the offense was solely going through him, I'd probably be looking more at him for this award. That said, it's not. Even Franks got in on the action Sunday. The QB is spreading the ball around, has great command of the offense, has really only been baited into an INT once, and that was at KC when he missed the guy underneath and got picked. A lot of the INTs are tipped balls, a couple of bad placed throws.....but really not any boneheaded ones besides the one in KC.
