For the second year, the night before the top two teams kick off Super Bowl XLVII, the NFL will salute its best players, performances and plays from the 2012 season with the 2nd annual NFL Honors, to be broadcast Saturday, Feb. 2 (9 p.m.), on the CBS Television Network. Alec Baldwin will serve as host of the star-studded football and entertainment event.
Current and former NFL players such as Jim Brown, Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders are scheduled to be in attendance as the NFL and The Associated Press announce their annual accolades in an awards show format.
