Since 2000, only seven of the 16 MVPs have even made it to the Super Bowl. Since 2011, the NFL has handed out the MVP the night before the Super Bowl, and since then, only Manning and Cam Newton were getting ready to play in the game after they found out they were the MVP.
Both went up against a historically good defense, and both quarterbacks struggled in ugly losses. If Ryan takes home the award on Saturday, he could end up in the same category as Newton and Manning: a quarterback of a high-powered offense that got shut down in the Super Bowl by a great defense.
The good news for Brady and Ryan is that it's not impossible for an MVP to win the Super Bowl -- it just hasn't happened this century.
There have been 10 players in NFL history who have won the MVP and Super Bowl in the same season, with the last one coming in 1999.
