Carolina Panthers finished 8-9 and took the 4th seed in the NFC, which is the context every ballot is cast against.

The atmosphere was worth points. The building was loud from the opening kickoff, and two of the three false starts came on the same drive with the crowd on its feet.

The interesting argument is not who won it but how far clear the winner finished, and on that the voters were close to unanimous.
