"He's gonna be the next Jared Goff" -NFL fans have mixed responses to Joe Burrow beating Dak Prescott for CPOTY Award
The NFL awards were announced last night during the NFL Honors, with Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow edging out Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott to win the Comeback Player of the Year award.

This season, Burrow threw for 4,611 yards, 34 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, and led the league in passing completion percentage with 70.4.
Prescott's season last year ended in week five against the New York Giants as he suffered a compound fracture and dislocation to his right ankle and was carted off the field. In five games, Prescott threw for 1,856 yards and the team went 6-10 that season.
This past season, Prescott led the Cowboys to an 11-5 record to win the NFC East. He set a career-high in passing touchdowns with 37 while throwing for 4,449 yards and just 10 interceptions.
