Fans have seen many dropped catches during a game, but it is rare for any player to blame God himself for the drop he made. Something similar happened in 2010 when a wide receiver from the Buffalo Bills blamed God for a catch he dropped in a potentially winning game.

During a Sunday game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson dropped the ball for a potentially winnable touchdown play. But for the drop catch, he blamed God. The Bills outshot the Steelers by 16-3 in the game's second half, but they let the win slip away as Johnson dropped the catch.
