Joe Burrow has thrown for a league-leading 4,641 yards and 42 touchdowns. But if the Bengals don't make the postseason, he likely won't win MVP.

Joe Burrow is playing the best football of his career, but Saturday might be the final game of his season. The Cincinnati Bengals will face the Pittsburgh Steelers, and need a win and some help from the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets to clinch the final playoff spot in the AFC.

Although he's having a spectacular campaign, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow acknowledged that he won't take home the MVP trophy this season. In an interview on ESPN with NFL legend Cam Newton, Burrow said he deserves the award. But he's also aware that it usually goes to the "quarterback of the best team."
