The premise

Here’s the bit.

The Denver Broncos celebrate another improbable win when Jesus arrives in their locker room. Tim Tebow is delighted, but their visitor wants the team to stop leaving so much work for him in the final quarter. Jesus singles out kicker Matt Prater for praise, urges Tebow to spend more time preparing, and warns that he will be busy at Christmas. His advice about the Patriots does little to dampen Tebow’s enthusiasm, even as the other players start to see the limits of their supernatural advantage.

I'm sorry. I'm forgiven.
