Jesus Was at the Heart of Super Bowl LX — Not Just the Game

Read Aloud

When the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots met in Super Bowl LX, millions tuned in to watch football’s biggest stage. But beyond touchdowns and trophies, something else stood out — players and coaches openly speaking about their faith in Jesus Christ.

For many on both sidelines, this wasn’t just a game. It was a platform.

Faith Before Football

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has been intentional about building a faith-centered culture inside the locker room. He has shared that he gives Bibles to players and staff and reminds them regularly:

“Your identity is not in your job — your identity is in Christ.”

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald has also spoken publicly about his belief that God called him into coaching. After the team’s Super Bowl run, he expressed gratitude to God for the opportunity to lead and emphasized that his faith guides how he leads players.

On the New England side, quarterback Drake Maye has not shied away from speaking about his relationship with Jesus. Throughout the season and during Super Bowl week, Maye made it clear that football is not his foundation.

He has said that his faith in Christ and his family are what anchor him — not wins or losses.

Several Patriots players echoed similar sentiments during media week, sharing that their platform is an opportunity to shine a light and point people toward Jesus.

A Super Bowl With Eternal Perspective

During Super Bowl week, chapel services and team prayer remained part of the rhythm for both organizations. Players from both teams have spoken about how their relationship with Christ gives them peace under pressure.

After the Seahawks’ championship win, multiple players publicly gave glory to God in postgame interviews. In the middle of confetti and celebration, several declared that:

“Jesus is everything.”

For these athletes, the victory wasn’t just about football achievement — it was about gratitude to the One they believe made it possible.

Faith in Victory — Faith in Defeat

What stood out even more was how faith remained steady regardless of the outcome.

After the loss, Drake Maye spoke about disappointment but emphasized that his identity does not change with the scoreboard. He reiterated that life’s biggest wins are not measured in trophies but in faithfulness, family, and purpose.

That perspective carried weight on a stage where legacies are often defined by championships.

More Than a Game

Super Bowl LX crowned a champion, but it also revealed something deeper — that many NFL players see their gifts as stewardship.

For Klint Kubiak, it’s about identity in Christ.

For Mike Macdonald, it’s about answering God’s call to lead.

For Drake Maye, it’s about using the spotlight to reflect something greater than himself.

On the biggest stage in American sports, the name of Jesus was spoken boldly.

Football is temporary.

Faith is eternal.
