Super Bowl-Sized Faith: Beyond the Typical Nod to God

Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles and other Super Bowl 52 players discuss the real-life faith that animates them, whether they win or lose.

“Our marriage is built on the foundation of the Word. Our relationship wouldn’t be nearly as strong without Jesus at the center.”

Matthew Slater, New England Patriots wide receiver

“Every moment I’ve had in the NFL has given me the opportunity to build relationships with people and ultimately connect with them through the power and love of Christ”

Geneo Grissom, New England Patriots offensive lineman

“Without God none of this is possible, so my faith is literally the driving force that pushes me.”

Jordan Richards, New England Patriots defensive back
