Religious experts consulted by The Associated Press say it was okay for Colts quarterback Peyton Manning to pray for help in the AFC Championship game while the Patriots attempted one last victory drive on offense. There’s a “but,” though:
Sister Terese Boersig of Carmel of the Resurrection Monastery in Indianapolis said Manning’s prayer “absolutely” was within bounds.
“Now, what would not be appropriate is if you prayed that Tom Brady broke his leg,” Boersig said.
