After throwing for a season-high 316 yards against the Steelers in a playoff win Sunday night, the religious symbolism was too much for the Twittersphere to resist.
John 3:16 is the biblical verse most associated with Tebow, primarily because he routinely wrote it on his eye black during his collegiate career at Florida. (The verse reads: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.")
And Tebow's stat line - 316 yards passing and 31.6 yards per completion - was no coincidence to many of his fans.
Among the observations: "It's a little crazy that Tebows' favorite verse is John 3:16 and he threw for 316 yards & a couple of his bosses are named John. #faith"
Of course there were many detractors fed up with divine connection: "The fact that Tebow threw for 316 yards means only one thing. He threw for 316 yards. Come on, people!"
