Kurt Warner and Ben Roethlisberger have at least two things in common.

Both led their teams on Sunday to the Feb. 1 Super Bowl.

And both are strong Christians who don't mind showing it.

Take Warner, the Arizona Cardinals' quarterback who led the team to its NFC Championship on Sunday, 32-25, over the Philadelphia Eagles.

The first person Warner thanked in his nationally televised interview was God.

He and his wife are known for being devout born-again Christians.

Later Sunday Roethlisberger led the Pittsburgh Steelers to their AFC Championship Game victory, 23-14, over the Baltimore Ravens.

Back in 2006, the Austin American-Statesman reported:

"Ben Roethlisberger, quarterback of the 2006 Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers, wore PFJ (Play For Jesus) on his cleats until the NFL forbade it last year, citing uniform rules."

So it may be a bit cheeky, but whom will God favor -- if he really cares -- in the Super Bowl?
