Is says:

#1 QB Tom Brady | New England Patriots | Super Bowls: XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLII, XLVI, XLIX
#2 QB Troy Akiman | Dallas Cowboys | Super Bowls: XXVII, XXVIII, XXX
#3 QB Joe Montana | San Francisco 49ers | Super Bowls: XVI, XIX, XXIII, XXIV
#4 WR Jerry Rice | San Francisco 49ers/Oakland Raiders | Super Bowls: XXIII, XXIV, XXIX, XXXVII
#5 RB Emmitt Smith | Dallas Cowboys | Super Bowls: XXVII, XXVIII, XXX
#6 QB John Elway | Denver Broncos | Super Bowls: XXI, XXII, XXIV, XXXII, XXXIII

Does ESPN's right hand ever... know what the left hand is writing?

The article I posted ranked each individual single game performance of all 49 MVPs.

Your article includes cumulative review of a players (MVP or not) total Super Bowl performances though all the SBs they played in.

These are not necessarily inconsistent.

Just looking at the #1s from each. Montana in XXIV is a good choice for best single game performance by an MVP.

Brady’s general excellence across 6 SBs is a good choice for best performance by a player in Super Bowls, cumulatively.
