Maybe it was a Patton-eque prayer that talked about smiting enemies.
On the other hand, prayer is more properly done with some privacy, IMHO. I am glad to know they prayed AND that it was not put out for media fodder. Giants Fan since 2004.
Most have done it since they were youngsters.
If I was making millions of dollars doing something I loved, I'd pray constantly, thanking the Lord for my good fortune, health and ability.
I am sorry to tell you that I saw the exact same thing the prior week after they won the first playoff game and I had the exact same reaction as you did. However, I seem to recall seeing it on the NFL website, not the Giant’s website, so I assumed it was an NFL decision.
I am a seasons ticket holder.
I am also a lifelong Giants fan, and probably longer than you I would guess. (I was AT the '56 Championship Game.) I'm also a reasonably observant person, but I think there is good reason for privacy in these matters. Despite what others think about Tebow, I think he would just as soon not have his religion be made such a big deal. I know about his eyeblack, but I don't see any of this as being any different from someone crossing themself before an at-bat or before a race.
Let it be.

Old school, unhip Tom Coughlin is among the three best head coaches in the NFL.
They say the Lord’s prayer, I have seen it done a number of times on video.
They’re praying that they be spared the Wrath of the New York Fans when they lose.
