NFL Players Praise God After Week 3 Wins as Broncos, Ravens, Giants Credit Faith NFL stars including Bo Nix, Talanoa Hufanga, Lamar Jackson and Jameis Winston publicly credited God after dramatic Week 3 victories, continuing a season of visible Christian faith across the league. NFL players across the league turned to public prayer and praise after a dramatic Week 3 slate of games, from Denver to Baltimore to Washington. NFL Players Credit God for WinsThe most God-centered professional sports league in America was on full display once again, with players crediting their faith after wins decided in the final seconds. The Denver Broncos stars discussed their stirring victory over the Dallas Cowboys on NBC's national broadcast. Quarterback Bo Nix and safety Talanoa Hufanga told everyone where the credit goes: To God.Honestly man, all praise to God, just to come out here, believe in myself, believe in my teammates to be in the right spot, Hufanga said after collecting two interceptions, including a Pick Six. Man, all glory to God that I go out there and play and have some fun. NBC's Melissa Stark turned to Nix and asked something about what was discussed at halftime.The quarterback gave her 10 seconds of fluff football talk then said this: But like he said, all glory to God. He's really good. He's given us this platform. He's given us this opportunity and our job is just to make the most of it.Believe, Hufanga then added, as if imploring the audience to join them. This is example 1,403,285 (more or less) that the NFL is the most God-centered professional sports league in America. Every game day the most popular league playing the country's most popular sport shows up publicly thanking, praising and worshiping God. Unapologetically.No shame. No embarrassment. Out in the open, regardless how fans, media, or the league itself may feel about people of faith. So how could this secular, oftentimes super liberal monolith of a business preach God so often?Well, let's understand there is a difference between the mostly faceless, nameless, Godless league that is headquartered in New York, and the people that fans actually come to see and cheer, the players and coaches. While we think of the NFL as a sterile office bent on making gobs of profit, you've got people in uniform or wearing headsets that sometimes speak like prophets.Prayer Spreads Across NFL TeamsThe Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions players prayed after the game at New Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. , on Sept. 17, 2026. The San Francisco 49ers prayed in the locker room before their game against the Miami Dolphins at Levi's Stadium on Sept. 20, 2026, in Santa Clara, Calif. The 49ers defeated the Dolphins 35-13.The Jacksonville Jaguars opened training camp with an amazing message about God on their social media. In Brazil, the Baltimore Ravens beat the Dallas Cowboys in stunning, last-second fashion. Quarterback Lamar Jackson completed a long pass with one second remaining to set up a final kick. So he stepped off the field and went to work.The crazy thing about it I had no doubt in my mind, Jackson told an international group of reporters afterward. I prayed to Jesus. I prayed to God. I am like, Man, I feel like we already won.I could not show it, but I am like, I have all my faith in right now, man. In Washington, the Commanders lost linebacker Leo Chenal to a neck injury in the first half. He was taken to a local hospital where doctors saw he had movement in all his extremities. Back at Northwest Stadium, Kain Medrano stepped in for Chenal.Medrano intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter. He returned it for a touchdown and the game-deciding points. And afterward was thinking about his fallen teammate. Yeah, obviously, we lost a brother, Medrano said, but we're all praying for him.Giants Find a Way to WinThe Giants, like the Commanders, won on Sunday despite not having their starting quarterback because both Jaylen Daniels and Jaxson Dart are out injured. Jameis Winston was at the reins of the New York offense, but it was the defense and safety Jevon Holland's interception at his own 4-yard line with 24 seconds to play that sealed the victory. Elated, praise God, so happy and grateful that he did what I thought he was going to do, Winston said.I told he was going to do that. He did it. I told him he was going to do that Friday. Friday, I told him, I said, When the game is on the line, you're going to make the biggest play.Head coach John Harbaugh's team has a 2-1 record now. Those two victories are already half the number of wins the Giants managed all of last season. Praise and glory to our Savior, he said. And to our guys, nothing but respect for finding a way to win a tough game in the fourth quarter. That's the way these games go usually.
