Who was The MVP of Super Bowl 22 between the Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos?

The MVP of Super Bowl 22 between the Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos was Doug Williams.

Williams delivered one of the most explosive performances in Super Bowl history, completing 18 of 29 passes for 340 yards and four touchdowns. The Redskins defeated the Broncos 42–10 after overcoming a 10–0 first-quarter deficit, scoring 35 points in the second quarter alone.

His four touchdown passes in that quarter set a Super Bowl record, while his 340 passing yards were a championship-game record at the time. Williams connected with Ricky Sanders for an 80-yard touchdown and helped Washington seize control before halftime.

Super Bowl XXII was also historically significant because Williams became the first Black quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl, and the first to earn the game's MVP award. A common mix-up is confusing him with Timmy Smith, who set the Super Bowl rushing record with 204 yards in the same game, or with Denver quarterback John Elway, who was the losing team's star.
