Russell Wilson remains at the top spot in the MVP race, but he has company: his teammate Chris Carson and Vikings teammates Kirk Cousins and Dalvin Cook. Wilson had a statistically average game in the Seahawks victory Monday night, whereas Carson had a good game and caught up to him in the chase.
The Vikings win when Cousins plays well and Dalvin Cook is having a great year. This suggests that good quarterbacks and good running backs make each other better.

To review: A player gets an MVP point if:
- His team wins the game
- He personally had a good game in those victories. It doesn't have to be a "great" game; for a quarterback it's a passer rating of 97.0 or higher, for backs and receivers it's 85 yards from scrimmage
