Two of the NFL’s top players first thanked Jesus Christ when receiving their awards at NFL Honors Thursday night in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The annual awards show was nationally televised by CBS from the Resorts World Theatre. It was also streamed on several platforms.
After Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson received the “Most Valuable Player” (MVP) award and Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was named “Offensive Rookie of the Year,” both men gave praise to their “Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” while accepting their respective honors.
“First and foremost, I want to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Jackson said as the crowd applauded. “Without Him, nothing is possible.”
