NFL Honors 2017: Complete list of winners
By Jack Crosby
Saturday night, the NFL will honor some of the best performers and performances of the season at the 6th annual NFL Honors show
We are so close to Super Bowl 51 that we can see it in our sights, as the big game will be taking place on Sunday night in Houston. This year, the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons will battle it out to see who is the champion of the NFL. Before we get there, though, it’s time to hand out some awards as the 6th annual NFL Honors will take place.
Each year the night before the biggest game of the year, the best performers and performances of the season are recognized. The show will begin at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday night and will be broadcast on FOX.
There are eyes on a lot of awards as always, especially the MVP. After the amazing season that he had in leading the Falcons to the Super Bowl, will Matt Ryan be able to earn himself his first ever Most Valuable Player Award? Or will he have it snatched away from him by his counterpart on Sunday in Tom Brady or even Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers?
