The Jaguars accomplished one of his greatest comebacks in NFL history, overcoming a 27\u20130 deficit and winning the game with his goal in the final out of the second field by kicker Riley Patterson. <\/p>\n<p>Prior to the kick, Patterson pulled out the cross he was wearing around his neck and kissed him. After his triumphant boot, while celebrating, Patterson held up a cross that appeared to be his way of giving thanks to God. It seemed far from where it was. <\/p>\n<p><b>Prayer Makes a Spectacular NFL Comeback<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Based on the sequence of events and the many cameras that refused to show Patterson holding the cross, it appeared that this was done on purpose. For those who saw Kick live, it&#8217;s a foregone conclusion. The whole incident came to light when he trended on Twitter on Saturday night, <u><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BellaKendra\/status\/1614484862718836736\" target=\"_blank\">many people are aware<\/a><\/u>    that <u><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hcstangs_FB\/status\/1614645123983503363\" target=\"_blank\">NBC Cutaway<\/a><\/u>    As soon as Patterson lifted the cross, <\/p>\n<p>This was in stark contrast to a few years ago when network cameras focused intensely on NFL players kneeling for the national anthem.  NBC had every chance to show Patterson, but every time they tried to cut at him after a kick, he was holding up a cross. <\/p>\n<p>Sadly, these anti-religious and anti-Christian tactics are becoming all too common in our country. Television has no problem with men wearing clothes to show that they are women or couples participating in sexually suggestive behavior. But showing athletes thanking the Lord on TV is overkill. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<div class=\"TweetEmbed\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Riley Patterson isn&#8217;t getting any love from NBC.
