The National Football League's awards show to recognize the best players, performances and plays from this past season - "NFL Honors" - is scheduled to air Thursday night.
But Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow already has won Nickelodeon's most valuable player award - the "NFL Slimetime NVP of NVPs."

From Nickelodeon via Twitter:
Burrow won the weekly NVP award for Week 16. He met SpongeBob and was slimed.
In 2020, the Bengals tweeted photos celebrating Burrow's impressive SpongeBob pocket-square game.
Burrow's teammate, rookie receiver Ja'Marr Chase, won Nickelodeon's weekly award for Weeks 7 and 17.
Awards were given to players with the top performances of the week, per fan voting.
In October, Chase appeared with Nickelodeon NFL insider Dylan Schefter for a Slimetime video. It included Chase's explanation of the origin of his touchdown dance - "The Griddy" - in addition to a performance of it.
Last week, Chase was named 2021 Pepsi Zero Sugar NFL Rookie of the Year.
