#6 Josh Allen
Josh, though, hasn’t played his sixth game, yet has already made it to the list because of his impactful performances following his first-week loss against the Steelers.
The Buffalo Bills quarterback outperformed Mahomes in his previous match against the Chiefs, leading his team to victory. Josh will be looking forward to extend his three-game winning streak against the Titans today as well.

#5 Dak Prescott
The Dallas Cowboys quarterback has delivered in each of his outings after the first week’s tragic loss against the Tom Brady led Buccaneers. Since then Prescott has defeated beasts like Justin Herbert and Sam Darnold in his second and fourth week, respectively. The Cowboys are very much dependent on the starting QB for his influential role in playing well under pressure.

#4 Tom Brady
The Griffin list seems to be incomplete without the ‘Timeless Tom Brady’ as he makes it to the list the second time as well. And why wouldn’t he? Brady has been absolutely destroying the stats table one game after another.
Tom Brady looks like he hits an all-time high every season he appears in, as if he is literally aging backward. He has scored a win against strong opponents like the Cowboys and the Rams, currently leading his team with a 5-1 stance in the league.

#3 Lamar Jackson
The 2019 NFL MVP is aiming at the MVP honors once again this season as he makes sure no one comes between him and his win. After an unfortunate overtime loss against the Raiders in the season starter, the quarterback has sealed a victory against all the opponents that followed, including Patrick Mahomes and even Justin Herbert.
The Ravens seem to have a clear vision to make the playoffs this season with the likes of Lamar Jackson.
With today's victory, Lamar Jackson now has 35 wins as a starter. @brgridiron
That's the most for an NFL player before age 25 in history ⭐️

#2 Kyler Murray
Kyler Murray is a must-have in the list of top candidates for the NFL MVP this season, as after six games, no team in the league has managed to seal a victory against them. Leading the only undefeated team in the NFL so far, Murray has claimed the honors of being the most influential quarterback this season.
Going 6-0 up and showing no signs of slowing down, the Cardinals have a big chance of winning the Super Bowl.
KYLER MURRAY DIME 🎯🎯

#1 Trevon Diggs
Trevon Diggs holds the numero uno spot in Griffin’s list of top MVP contenders this season. And also he is the only non-quarterback on his list. The Dallas Cowboys cornerback is on an interception spree this season. He claimed his seventh in his game against the Patriots in week 6.
