Eisen predicted the awards would split with Jonathan Taylor taking Offensive Player of the Year and Christian McCaffrey winning Comeback Player of the Year, said the NFC East belongs to the Eagles regardless of the Monday night result, and insisted Aaron Rodgers stays the Steelers' starter rather than Mason Rudolph.
