This year’s Super Bowl wasn’t just a showcase of elite athleticism and unforgettable ads, such as those we highlighted in our Journal entry yesterday, it also became a cultural moment where faith and sports intersected in powerful ways.
Following our breakdown of the He Gets Us Super Bowl commercial and its invitation to ask deeper questions about life’s meaning, a new social video has been resonating online featuring players from both the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots answering the question “Why Jesus?” ahead of the big game.
In clips shared widely across social platforms, multiple NFL athletes spoke openly about their Christian faith, giving personal reflections on why Jesus matters in their lives -- not as a marketing tagline, but as a source of purpose, gratitude, and strength even amid the world’s brightest sporting spotlight.
This unfiltered grassroots moment underscores how faith isn’t just a theme behind an ad campaign but lives in the hearts of individuals preparing for arguably the biggest day of their careers. Whether it’s gratitude for life beyond football, testimony of personal transformation, or simply pointing to something deeper than fame or fortune, these players’ voices reminding Jesus is eternal, championships are fleeting.
