An All-Pro safety with the Denver Broncos had a great game against the New York Jets, but all he could think about during the post game interviews was praying with his teammates.

Justin Simmons is off to yet another strong start. The All-Pro safety has seven solo tackles and one interception in helping the Broncos get off to a 3-0 start in their first three games.

He had the opportunity to talk about his team’s unblemished start to the season following a 26-0 win over the New York Jets, doing an on-field interview with CBS Sports.

But his mind was focused elsewhere, as he shared on Instagram following the game, and what resulted was a powerful moment between him and his teammate, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

Simmons posted

“After every game, home or away, a group of players from both teams come together to say a prayer at midfield. It’s my favorite thing about game day on Sunday. Giving thanks and praise to God win or lose,” he said. “Well, after the game was over, I was asked to do an interview talking about the big win. Once the interview was over I immediately looked behind me towards the 50 yard line, nervous that I had missed the prayer, and I did. However, Teddy was there waiting and told me ‘J! I got you man…I know you didn’t wanna miss this’ and started praying.”

Then he added“There is a reason God brings people in your life depending on what ‘season’ of life you’re in. Teddy didn’t know, I never told him, but I needed that prayer.”
