Social Media Sleuth Uncovers Chilling Reason Behind Tyler Loop’s Missed Kick in Do-Or-Die AFC North Clash [VIDEO]

Tyler Loop blew a field goal attempt that would have secured playoff passage for the Baltimore Ravens. And a certain fan has come up with a chilling theory regarding the miss. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers left the door open with a missed extra point on Sunday night, so the Ravens only needed to get into field goal range to win. 

Loop stepped up but could only watch as his kick sailed right of the post, condemning Baltimore to a costly loss. The defeat not only handed the AFC North to Pittsburgh, it eliminated the visitors from playoff contention. 

A video has surfaced online showing that someone was holding a sign reading “John 3:16” in the crowd. The compilation shows several other moments where the bible verse was visible behind the goalposts on key misses. 

Check it out below:

And in case you’re thinking it’s doctored, here’s the original clip from NBC:

Tyler Loop Was Up Against Forces He Wasn’t Even Aware Of

The verse of scripture is one of the most popular from the Holy Bible.

It reads: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

While John 3:16 has nothing to do with sports, it may have cost John Harbaugh his job.

What’s more, it wasn’t the only bit of divine intervention involved. 

The Steelers went viral for bringing a priest in to bless the field at Acrisure Stadium before kickoff. The clergyman was seen throwing holy water in the end zone where Loop would eventually miss that crucial field goal. 

While the appearance became a talking point on the night, it’s nothing new. 

Priests have been blessing both end zones at the Steelers’ home grounds before every game as part of a tradition that dates back to 2001.

But couple that with John 3:16, and Loop really stood no chance.
