8 Christian Athletes Playing in Super Bowl LVIII

The Kansas City Chiefs return to the Super Bowl, hoping to clinch a victory as sweet as last year's. The current American Football Conference winners will go head-to-head with the National Football Conference reigning champs, the San Francisco 49ers, in Super Bowl LVIII. The Chiefs have an impressive 11-6 record, yet the 49ers come out on top this season at 12-5. Kick-off starts at 6:30 PM Eastern Time at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Many key players, notably both teams' starting quarterbacks, are proud Christians.

Here are eight of the Christian athletes taking the field for Super Bowl LVIII... and it's by no means - nor intended to be - an exhaustive list:
