The 24-year-old has been a torrid pace that has helped the Rams get off their impressive start as the last unbeaten team in the league. In fact, Gurley had scored more touchdowns from scrimmage than nine NFL teams in the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Washington Redskins, New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals, Oakland Raiders, Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills. His 13 touchdowns in the first seven games have surpassed Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson for the most over that span to begin a season in franchise history.

Meanwhile, Mahomes has continued to push forward in his breakout year as he has pushed past Hall of Famers Kurt Warner for the most touchdown passes in any player’s first 8 games in NFL history with 22 on the season along with being second in the league with 2,223 passing yards and fifth with a 114.0 passer rating. He has presented a strong case to be the early frontrunner for the prestigious honor.

This could all shake out to be a two-horse race for the award that may very well see some more highly impressive performances from both players in their push toward earning the honor.
