With just one game left in the NFL season, it's time to celebrate this year's star performers at the 2023 NFL Honors awards ceremony.

On Thursday night, awards for the season will be handed out during a two-hour primetime special. At the event, Most Valuable Player, Coach of the Year, Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year and Comeback Player of the Year are among the awards handed out. 

This year's winners will be chosen by a panel of 50 journalists around the country who cover the NFL. Despite its name, It's important to note that the awards will all be for the accomplishments in the 2022 NFL season — which will reach its conclusion with Super Bowl 57 this weekend.
