The "Super Bowl MVP" is an award given to the most valuable player in the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). This award recognizes an individual who has made significant contributions to their team's success during the game, often through outstanding performance, key plays, or leadership. The selection of the Super Bowl MVP is typically made by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters, and it can also include fan votes. The award has been presented since the first Super Bowl in 1967, and it highlights the achievements of players from both the winning and losing teams.
