Russell Wilson Said God was Responsible for His Four Interceptions

The Seattle Seahawks pulled off the miracle of miracles Sunday afternoon when they beat the visiting Green Bay Packers in overtime and punched their ticket to Super Bowl XLIX.

For nearly 56 minutes, the Seahawks quarterback looked more like Geno Smith than the guy who amassed a 95.6 quarterback rating during the regular season, throwing just as many completions to the Green Bay secondary as he did to his own team.

But despite his four interceptions and his team trailing 19-7 late in the fourth quarter, Wilson led Seattle on three touchdown drives to seal the improbable victory and broke down in tears when it was all said and done.

And just when you thought it couldn’t possibly get any crazier than what took place on the field, Wilson was asked by Peter King about those four interceptions, and he didn’t blame an opportunistic Green Bay defense, his teammates, or even himself for that matter. Instead, he said it was God’s doing.

“That’s God setting it up, to make it so dramatic, so rewarding, so special,” Wilson said. “I’ve been through a lot in life, and had some ups and downs. It’s what’s led me to this day.”

If Wilson was right, then God apparently didn’t give two craps about the AFC Championship, where the New England Patriots curb stomped the Indianapolis Colts to the tune of 45-7.
