Yeah you heard right, hell just froze over! The rapture’s coming people! It’s the end of the world!
Seriously, how else could you explain today’s events? The Indianapolis Colts finally won their first game of the season beating the Tennessee Titans. Tim Tebow wasn’t able to deliver his usual fourth-quarter magic as the Denver Broncos suffered their first loss in seven games. And the most unbelievable event of the day was the 13-0 Green Bay Packers losing to the 5-8 Kansas City Chiefs.
Okay sure, the Colts’ win wasn’t that spectacular. Everyone felt that they would get a win at some point this season so winning at home versus the Titans really isn’t that big of a stretch on the imagination. It may have been the first domino in what would be a really weird day though.
I say weird because as the winless Colts were winning, the undefeated Packers were getting their butts handed to them by the Chiefs. The Chiefs were up 19-7 in the fourth quarter over the Packers as the Colts were putting the finishing touches on the Titans. The Packers would tighten the deficit with a quick score in the games’ final minutes but didn’t have enough time to mount a comeback losing 19-14.
Even those two occurrences probably wouldn’t have created so much alarm if it weren’t for the final straw falling later that day. Tebow, the favorite son watched helplessly as his team was carved apart by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
If these things would have happened on different days then Sunday’s events could have been dismissed as coincidence but with them all falling on the same day it has to be something bigger right? Could this be the sign of end times? Have the prophecies been fulfilled?
Okay, okay maybe I’m being a little dramatic. I’m sure these events are easily explainable, right? God wouldn’t purposely turn His back on His favorite son and simultaneously change the perfect streaks of the best and worst teams in the league would He? No it had to be something else. Hmmm maybe, just maybe God just stepped off His lofty perch for a moment to take a bathroom break. Yeah, that’s it.
