A trio of NFL stars began their postgame interviews Sunday not with analysis but with gratitude to God, acknowledging the source of their talents before breaking down the game itself.
Carolina quarterback Bryce Young, Atlanta running back Bijan Robinson, and New England’s Drake Maye all used their interviews to point the praise upward.
Young passed for 191 yards and two touchdowns in his team’s 23-20 victory over Tampa Bay, giving the Panthers (8-7) the inside track on a playoff spot by grabbing first place in the NFC South.

“First and foremost, all glory to God. Without Him, I'm nothing, we're all nothing. So the glory goes to Him,” Young told Fox immediately after the game.
The win, Young said, “just speaks volumes to this team.”
“We were excited for the moment. We were ready. Coach [Dave Canales] did a great job preparing us. We're just about being process-oriented going on to the next week, day by day.”
Robinson continued his season-long dual-threat role, carrying the ball 16 times for 76 yards and catching seven passes for 72 yards and a touchdown in Atlanta’s 26–19 win over Arizona. Although the Falcons (6-9) have been eliminated from playoff contention, the win gave the team something to celebrate in what has been a challenging season.
Always give praise to our Lord.

“First off, I got to give honor to God,” Robinson told Fox. “You know, without Him you wouldn't be here, I wouldn't be here. He blessed me to be on this field and play in front of all these people. So, I’ve just got to give honor to Jesus, and what He's done for me and my team, and how He's continued to let us come through.”
Maye helped the Patriots rally for a come-from-behind 28–24 win at Baltimore, throwing for 380 yards and two touchdowns as New England (12–3) clinched a playoff spot and remained in contention for the AFC’s top seed.

“I love playing with these guys. I enjoy it every time out here. What a beautiful sport. Thank the good Lord for bringing us out here today and letting us get away with a win,” Maye told NBC. “It's a great team we played and I am just glad we got it done this week.”
