Steelers' viral field blessing sparks faith vs. superstition debate

A blessing performed on the Steelers' field became a viral moment after a Ravens field goal attempt missed, with fans linking the ritual to the outcome. The prior of Saint Vincent Archabbey, who conducts the blessing, has since found himself explaining the practice to a wider audience.

The prior maintains that the blessing is an act of faith rather than an attempt to sway the game, saying he works to keep the ritual separate from superstition despite its newfound attention.
