Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson(notes) dropped an easy, game-winning touchdown pass against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
After the game, Johnson placed the blame for the flub not on himself, nor the pass, nor the lights, nor the defender, nor the pressure of the situation. Nope…he blamed it on God!
Players always thank God after a victory, so it’s sort of refreshing to see one blame Him after a loss. Not that everyone thinks the Lord is overly concerned with sporting events or played any role in Johnson taking his eyes off the ball, but interestingly, Steve Johnson does. It must be nice to live a consequence-free environment where he doesn’t have to take the blame for anything! What if everyone did that whenever they got into trouble?
The bigger question is why Johnson thinks he can’t learn from this incident. Did he learn nothing from “The Dark Knight”?
Although, I’m pretty sure Tweeting a passive-aggressive swipe at God isn’t the way a hero should respond. But maybe that lesson comes in the sequel.
