The deeply religious Denver Bronco quarterback has become known for getting down on one knee to pray during NFL games - often when he has assisted in scoring a touchdown.

The website tebowing.com has been created in honour of the 24-year-old's famous ritual - which follows the previously popular practice of 'planking'.

It defines 'Tebowing' as: '(vb) to get down on one knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something completely different.'

Pictures sent in to the site from around the world include images showing fans 'Tebowing' in landmark locations such as the Sydney Opera House and Israel's Wailing Wall.

Others can be seen indulging in the practice while surfing or after carrying out allegedly life-saving surgery on a patient.

Tebow's performance was so good in Sunday's game against Pittsburgh Steelers - during which he threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to secure a last-ditch win - that it prompted TV presenters on CBS to join in on the craze.

The devout Christian threw a total of 316 yards over the course of the game, which many on social networking sites and internet forums have suggested is further evidence of the divine interventions they believe the player benefits from.

John 3:16 is widely seen as the most famous verse in the Bible, and states: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

And if recent personal homages to the quarterback from fellow US sporting superstars including champion skier Lindsey Vonn are anything to go by, Tebowing may well make it across the pond for this year's London Olympics.
