All of these NFL players are forced to be made available for media access after every game, so the top players on each team have a mic in their face every week, either at the post game press conference or in the locker room. Most of that is aired on post game shows, on NFL Network, etc. I don't specifically listen for it per se, but if it was said, it would be heard, don't kid yourself.

Where to begin...
First, are you seriously trying to equate "losing a loved one in a car crash" to coming up on the short end of the score in a football game? C'mon...

Second, "that isn't how it works"? If a person has the presence of mind to give thanks to the Creator when things are good, but has no inclination to do so when times are tough, I personally have to question the source of that faith. Based on that line of thinking, God should continually be on the lips of the rich and successful and rarely if ever on the lips of the poor and struggling.

If athletes are going to use the interview room as a public forum to express their faith(which is exactly what they are doing), IMHO they should be sure to express their gratefulness to God when things don't go their way on a certain Sunday. Unless, of course, you think that God isn't with you when the chips are down, in which case I give thanks that I know better than that.
