Tebow completed 316 yards...averaged 31.6...John 3:16...Coincidence?

Go Jesus...Go Broncos...Go Tebow!!!!

Update:

@ Miami Heat...Tebow has an orphanage in the Philippines. So technically God is helping someone who helps the orphaned kids in a 3rd world country.

    I am a Christian and I don't believe in coincidences.

    Five reasons why I find this very interesting, and why I believe it was orchestrated by God.

    1) John 3:16 is arguably the most widely recognized verse from the Bible, so it is fitting for that number to be displayed on the stats sheet.

    2) It was Tim Tebow the Christian, not Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger (or any other QB) who threw for "316" yards.

    3) Tim Tebow had "John 3:16" on his eye patches in college.

    4) It was a playoff game... and so there would be more people watching the game as opposed to a regular season game.

    5) He had said in the past that John 3:16 is his favourite verse.

    If anyone could do the math or data management, you will see that the chances of this happening would be incredibly unlikely!

    God Bless!

    Big Ben's interception was on 3rd and 16

    The Broncos offense averaged 316 yards per game this year.

    3 years ago to the day (1/8/09), Tebow wore face paint with the message "John 3:16" for the first time, while winning the BCS National Championship. Before this day, he typically wore "Phil 4:13"

    Tebow's 31.6 yards per completion today is a all time NFL playoff record.

    On 3-16-11, the Dow Jones closed at 11,613

    That's all I got...

  • Since most Bible verses come with numbers attached, yes, it's a coincidence.

    Holy crap. God needs to stop helping Tebow and he needs to start helping the millions of starving kids in Africa that actually need help.

    TEBOW: "You mean, you only show up in the 4th quarter?"

    JESUS: "Yep!"

    CLADY: "Why?"

    JESUS: "I go where people call me most. That's usually the Country Music Awards, NASCAR races, the 4th quarter of football games, and any black event where food is served..."

    CLADY: "Hey!"

    JESUS: "Whoops! Sorry!" *Looks upward* "I'm forgiven!"

    You could find a number combination for any stat, so yeah; it's a coincidence.
