It is wonderful to see so many NFL players and coaches and sports commentators praying openly and unashamedly. And in the aftermath of the events of the Buffalo Bills game on Sunday, a game devoted to their own Damar Hamlin (the subject of all the aforementioned prayers) and a game marked by two kickoff return touchdowns, some spoke openly about divine intervention.
With reference to the first touchdown return, which was the very first play of the game following a tribute to Hamlin, Bills quarterback Josh Allen said, “It was just spiritual. I was going around and — I was just going around to my teammates saying, ‘God’s real.’ Like, you can’t, you can’t draw that one up, write that one up any better.”
Allen added (while wearing a cap with Hamlin’s jersey number 3), “I was just told by [Bills communications director] Kevin Kearns, it’s been three years and three months — since the last kickoff [Bills] return, so, it’s pretty cool.”
I even saw a TV clip where one of the commentators attributed the two touchdown returns to divine intervention, with the other commentators expressing their agreement.
