Was Tebow's Win Literally an Act of God?

Charisma Magazine poses an interesting question:  Was the Denver Broncos' unlikely win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wildcard playoff game last weeked literally an act of God?

Although Tebow can't put his favorite Bible verse, John 3:16, on his eye black anymore, the set of numbers kept making an appearance in Sunday's game.

The Christian quarterback's passing yardage against the Steelers was 316 yards, for an average of 31.6 yards per completion. The SportsBusiness Journal reports that in the final quarter hour of the game—in which Tebow threw the winning pass to Darius Thomas, born on Christmas Day—the TV ratings peaked at 31.6. And the Steelers' only interception took place at the third down with 16 yards to go.

What do you think? Is this just a coincidence, or an act of God?
