Jesus Takes Center Stage at Super Bowl LIX
Super Bowl LIX is shaping up to be a continuation of an emerging trend: football players becoming outspoken advocates for their Christian faith.
Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles players spoke about the importance of their belief in Jesus and the Gospel during a series of interviews with Sports Spectrum this week.
When asked by Sports Spectrum’s Annabelle Hasselbeck who Jesus is to him, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes replied, “Jesus is my Lord and Savior. It’s someone that I look up to every single day to decide what I want to do with my life and how I want to live my life. And so, Jesus is everything to me at the end of the day.”
"Jesus is my Lord and Savior."

Mahomes’ counterpart, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, has long professed his faith in Jesus.
“I’ve always wanted to root myself in that and keep Him in the center of my life in everything I do,” Hurts told Sports Spectrum’s Matt Forte. “Through the highs and the lows, He’s greater than all of them.”
