2 INT\'s(another that was overturned), 1 sack,7 tackles, and he was a key component to that fumble caused by Randall Gay.

Hey I like Rodney more than you know. **** man I watched him for years out here and was pissed as hell when he was let go. I really wanted him to win MVP but I have no problem whatsoever w/ the choice. Did Rodney\'s INT\'s lead to points? I think maybe one of them did. Deion\'s catches lent more to the win when you look @ the points created behind them. Offense is glamourous Defense is not . Always will be, if Rodney had run them back for Points he may have won MVP but he did not . Bummer.

This was a tough one. The 11 catches are one thing, but Branch really earned the award with four catches for big yards on the Pats\' first drive of the second half, which defined the rest of the game in showing that the Eagles defense was wearing down. Harrison had a great game, but I wouldn\'t give it to him since his picks didn\'t result directly in points. Branch had a bigger impact on the final result. Of course, Mike Vrabel deserves consideration for a TD and a sack, and you can also argue Brady, despite his fumble. He didn\'t lead a game-winning drive in the final seconds or throw for 350, but he didn\'t have to. Other than his fumble, he was as efficient as always. And I\'m serious in suggesting Owens, who was far-and-away the most valuable to his team since they wouldn\'t have been in it at all if not for him.

Overall, I think Branch was the right choice.
