faith in football

In a recent game against the Houston Texans, Oakland Raider's cornerback Chris Johnson was penalized for what he calls an act of his faith. After intercepting a pass by Matt Schaub of the Texans, Johnson dropped to his knees with his arms lifted in the air. Officials flagged him for "unsportsmanlike conduct" and sited excessive celebration. Johnson says that was not his intent, but insisted that he fell to his knees to show "respect to God".
