How the NFL MVP timeline game works
Think of this as the NFL's MVP roll call, with each player's team and position printed beneath his name. You're sorting them by the year each player first won the award. One MVP starts on the timeline with his year showing. Slot each new card into a gap among those already placed. Correct placements reveal the year, and wrong ones send the player to his true spot while costing one of three lives.
Quarterbacks win this award far more than anyone else, so most of the work is separating passers whose careers overlapped. Running backs and the occasional defender break things up. Players who won more than once appear only for their first MVP, and long careers are the trap: a quarterback's first award might have come well before the seasons you remember best.
Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
