I saw this repeatedly yesterday and some of the coverage was just as absurd as the Twitter itself - making it clear that they thought thanking God for help was ok but that it was naughty of him to blame God.

Before the game, the other team prayed for a win a lot harder than his team did, so God caused him to drop the catch.

Apparently god uses his powers to influence football games. Nothing new.

God obviously hates the Bills. I mean how could they go to the Superbowl four straight times and lose it four straight times to NFC East teams? Johnson is apparently not a "real" Christian because god doesn't answer his prayers.

This is apparently an example of that famous "No" answer given by God.
