A career-high 188 yards from scrimmage? Outstanding. AFC Offensive Player of the Week? Amazing. But that's not all Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren had to celebrate, as he received a hilarious award for his stellar Week 5 performance.
On Thursday, it was revealed that Warren was named the Week 5 Nickelodeon Valued Player for his 188-yard, two-touchdown outing against the Indianapolis Colts, receiving an NVP blimp trophy and slime cap.

NVP awards have become a staple of football memery, with some hilariously celebrating the Nickelodeon honor as if it were one of the NFL's most prestigious awards. The most infamous example has to be Mitch Trubisky, who was the first-ever
NVP award winner despite throwing for only one touchdown and 199 passing yards, as well as his Chicago Bears losing in the NFC Wild Card playoff game to the New Orleans Saints. It was almost as though fans hilariously trolled Trubisky into an NVP win.
Unlike Trubisky, Warren earned his NVP through a career-defining performance, one that catapulted him into the top NFL running back conversation as the Steelers' offense continues to pick up steam.
