It’s that time of year again! After another amazing football season in the National Football League, it has come down to the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

The week of the Super Bowl, the NFL does an award show reminiscing on the season, going through the ups and downs of the season, and what makes the league a brotherhood. They hand out awards to the athletes who were nominated for specific awards and announce the 2023 NFL hall of fame class.

The Finalists for this year’s award show were determined through the Associated Press’s new voting system where voters were asked to rank their five picks for the most improved player (MVP) and three picks for the remaining awards.

This year, the 12th annual NFL Awards will be on February 9th and will be aired live on NBA, Peacock, and NFL Network.
