After hauling in the throw, the Raiders' Johnson dropped to his knees and raised his hands to the heavens in a brief and innocuous display of his religious faith. It was one the most humble, classy and decent end zone celebrations you'll ever see. The officials didn't like it one bit. They whistled Johnson for excessive celebration and a 15-yard penalty.

The refs misunderstood the religious faith thing...the ref thought Johnson was displaying some sort of Black Raider Satanic voodoo...go Vikes!

It was a misunderstanding, actually. The refs heard Johnson say in prayer, "I owe this all to the Man upstairs. The Eternal Father who has no beginning and no end," and thought he was excessively praising Al Davis.

Why can't players blame God for a loss? They thank him for helping their team win all the time.

And players on both teams always pray to him for help. It's rare that we have a tie in the NFL, so he's usually picking favorites.
