Hunt was the favorite at the start of the season. The past couple weeks, Watson was the clear leader. He was breaking all time rookie QB records left and right, tied the league lead in TDs, and was in talks of MVP candidate. Just because you read something on NFL.com doesn't mean that writer's opinion is gospel.

It was not one writer, and I never thought the website is gospel.

The NFL regular season awards should be based on all 16 games (or sometimes every game a player started). This would put Kareem Hunt in front even during October because he's been great all season, while Deshaun Watson needed a month to show everyone how good he is - at least up to the end of Week 8. We will never know if Watson would have stayed the course and it makes no sense to speculate, but if Hunt keeps it up, he conceivably could have remained the favorite anyway.
