It’s the second round of the playoffs and Tim Tebow is still winning. He’s just not doing it all alone, at least that’s what America believes.
But America must not be watching his defense, coaching, running game or blocking. They’re convinced there’s a greater power assisting the devoutly Christian quarterback.
According to a survey done by Poll Position, 43 percent of the general public think some of Tebow’s success can be attributed to divine intervention. In other words, God is helping Tebow win games.
The Broncos upset Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers on Sunday afternoon in a wild-card playoff game. Tebow had his best game as a professional in the victory. He threw for a career-best 316 yards and two touchdowns, with what some believe was a boost from above.
Poll Position asked 1,076 phone participants these two questions:
1. Are you aware of the success of Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Tim Tebow?
2. (Among those aware of Tebow’s success) Do you believe that any of Tim Tebow’s success can be attributed to Divine Intervention?
Only 70 percent (756 respondents) were aware of Tebow’s success. The other 30 percent must never watch ESPN. Fifteen percent had never heard of Tebow, and 16 percent didn’t have an opinion on the subject.
Of the 756 respondents who knew of Tebow’s recent on-field conquests, 43 percent attributed some of the touchdown passes and runs to divine intervention.
Something tells me that number would have been significantly smaller if the subject was Big Ben.
To think God intervenes in the outcome of a football game is arrogant at best.
I think we may be experiencing intervention of a less than divine nature. All of the keywords for the birther issue, ie, naturalborn citizen, certifigate, birth certificate, are bringing up Tebow stories. Can anyone explain?
Tebow gets help from above?
We all do if we ask.
If this (divine intervention) is true, let’s just cancel the rest of the playoffs and hand the Lombardi trophy to Tebow, ooops, Denven, right now.
Personally, I am rooting for the Houston Texans, thought I don’t give them much chance.
certainly agree with that but maybe the Lord is helping TT in other ways, such as helping him score a date with Katy!
Amen. When Tim Tebow bows down, he is not thanking God for a touchdown or a game victory, but because he knows that “every good and perfect thing comes from the Lord,” including life, health, and a platform from which to lead others to the Gospel.
Houston? The Texans? Wow!
They don’t have a prayer.
Imagine the dilemma of the Boston College-Notre Dame game if he did?

Tebow will pray for Imus and Geraldo.
Or Baylor versus Notre Dame... Go Baptists!!!
I bet Romney prays for BYU football. :~(
“Poll Position asked 1,076 phone participants these two questions:
Fifteen percent had never heard of Tebow.”
No TV. No Radio. No Computer. Tebow may have to visit them PERSONALLY to get the word out. All must hear.
If God is not sovereign over a mere football game, He is not sovereign over anything.
Of course, His ways are beyond ours ...
I believe he’s getting help from above, but he’s not the only one on the field doing so. The guy that misses the tackle on a receiver on his way to a touchdown 11 seconds into overtime is getting help, too. But the world in its ignorance thinks that help from above equals winning a football game.
