New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player on Saturday for the third time in his 18-year career.
Brady also won the regular-season award in 2007 and 2010.
The 40-year-old became the oldest player to be named NFL MVP after completing 66.3 percent of his passes for 4,577 yards and 32 touchdowns against eight interceptions this season.
He earned 40 MVP votes, while Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley earned eight and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz got two.
The Patriots superstar will lead his team into Super Bowl LII against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in hopes of winning his sixth title. Brady has been named Super Bowl MVP four times.
