AT NFL HONORS

Two-Hour Primetime Awards Show on NBC Recognizes Outstanding Players

and Performances from 2017 Season and Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2018

Houston Texans QB DESHAUN WATSON is the winner of COURTYARD’S GREATNESS ON THE ROAD AWARD. The award was announced tonight at NFL HONORS – a two-hour primetime awards show that will air nationally tonight at 9 PM ET/PT on NBC.

Courtyard’s Greatness on the Road Award is given to the player who demonstrates the best performance in a road game during the regular season. Each week during the regular season, Courtyard awards a Greatness on the Road award to a deserving player, and NFL Media analysts selected Watson’s performance in Week 10 at Seattle as the pinnacle of “Greatness on the Road” this season. The rookie quarterback challenged Seattle’s fearsome secondary, throwing for 402 yards and four touchdowns.

On the eve of Super Bowl LII, featuring the New England Patriots against the Philadelphia Eagles, the NFL and THE ASSOCIATED PRESS announced their annual accolades in an awards show recognizing the best players, performances and plays from the 2017 season.

Emmy-nominated actor and comedian ROB RIGGLE hosted the show, and many of the winners were on-hand to accept their awards at Northrop at the University of Minnesota.

The newest PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME class was announced and introduced during the show with the Class of 2018 appearing on stage at Northrop at the University of Minnesota.

The prestigious Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award presented by Nationwide, which recognizes a player’s off-the-field community service as well as his playing excellence, and the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award, as voted by his peers, were among the awards handed out.

Seven of the awards were from the AP. These awards are voted on at the end of the regular NFL season by a nationwide media panel of 50 people who regularly cover the league. The ballots are tabulated solely by the AP.
