I really wonder how many voters would've turned in different ballots if they had waited until after that game. Might've made a difference.

I think this would have made a difference.

The vote was quite close, and over the last few days the ESPN talking heads were rather uniformly stating McCaffrey should get the award - but probably wouldn't. And they kept commenting upon how many voters had already turned in their ballots (though  do not remember if they really knew the number).
I am not sure how much the ESPN line shapes public opinion versus reflects it, but it's seems to be one of the two.
