This is how all of sports is. It also includes forgetting what happens for the first 75% of the season. The MVP, for example, is largely won or lost in the final month of the season. The first 3 quarters of the season are significantly underweighted in MVP voting. Adrian Peterson won the MVP in 2012 on a single game - the final game of the season. The award was Manning's up to that point. One game out of 16 should never carry that much weight but it does. People are, by and large, stupid and have terrible long-term memories and perspective. It is human nature.

He ran for all 2,097 yards in one game?!
I love Peyton Manning, but Peterson was deserving of the MVP award that year. Coming off of a torn ACL, Peterson played out of his mind. The Vikings won 10 games and made the playoffs with Christian fricking Ponder at the helm. He ran for like six yards a carry that season. There are dozens more egregious MVP selections than this one. In fact, I am not so sure why you are confident Manning is the obvious call here. Both teams would have been abortions without their top player.
