Faith was front and center across the NFL on Sunday as players and coaches from several teams publicly praised God, prayed for teammates and spoke about their trust in Jesus during key moments.

The declarations came from different stadiums and teams, but the message was remarkably similar.

After the Denver Broncos defeated the Dallas Cowboys, safety Talanoa Hufanga immediately pointed to God after a standout performance that included two interceptions and a touchdown.

“Honestly, man, all praise to God,” Hufanga told NBC’s Melissa Stark. “Man, all glory to God that I go out there and play and have some fun.”

Quarterback Bo Nix picked up the theme immediately.

“But like he said, all glory to God,” Nix said. “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.”

Hufanga then added one more word: “Believe.”

That response wasn’t limited to Denver.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson also spoke openly about prayer after his team pulled off a dramatic victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Brazil. Jackson completed a long pass with one second remaining to put his team in position for the winning field goal.

“The crazy thing about it [was] I had no doubt in my mind,” Jackson told reporters afterward. “I prayed to Jesus. I prayed to God.”

Jackson said he already felt as if the game had been won, so he trusted kicker Tyler Loop to finish the job.

Faith also surfaced in a more sobering moment in Washington, where Commanders linebacker Leo Chenal suffered a neck injury and was transported to a hospital. The team later received encouraging news that Chenal had movement in all his extremities.

After Chenal’s injury, Kain Medrano stepped in and intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter, returning it for a touchdown. Even then, his attention remained on his injured teammate.

“Obviously, we lost a brother,” Medrano said, “but we’re all praying for him.”

In New York, Jameis Winston also praised God after safety Jevon Holland made a game-sealing interception with 24 seconds remaining.

“Elated, praise God, so happy and grateful,” Winston said while celebrating Holland’s play.

In New York, Giants coach John Harbaugh was just as direct when he opened his postgame news conference.

“Praise and glory to our Savior,” Harbaugh said before turning his attention to his players and their performance.

Public expressions of Christian faith have long been part of the NFL, from postgame prayers at midfield to players pointing toward heaven after touchdowns and thanking Jesus during interviews.

Sunday offered yet another vivid example of that long-running pattern.

For Nix, Hufanga, Jackson, Winston and others, faith wasn’t something reserved for church or kept separate from football. Instead, whether celebrating a victory, processing an injury or reflecting on a rare opportunity, they chose to talk openly about God with millions of football fans watching.
