Most Valuable Player (MVP) Winners
The MPV award is given to the most valuable player in the Super Bowl final. The award is currently decided by a fan vote during the game (20%) and by a panel of 16 American football writers and broadcasters who vote after the game (80%). Chuck Howley, the winner from 1971, is the only player from a losing team to be named MVP. In 1978, both Randy White and Harvey Martin were co-winners. Joe Montana is the only player to have won three Super Bowl MVP awards, in 1982, 1985 and 1990.
