Emmanuel Sanders ain't dead; he's L-I-V-I-N.

After the Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders sustained one of the most brutal hits you'll ever see while playing against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, a joker on Wikipedia declared him dead.

Sanders took to Twitter on Monday to post a selfie as some humorous proof of life -- then one-upped himself on Tuesday night.

While out and about and surrounded by women on Tuesday night, Sanders tweeted that perhaps he'd ascended to heaven.

Wikipedia said I died after the game last week..... Well.... I must be in heavenpic.twitter.com/aQxUTLTruC— Emmanuel Sanders (@ESanders_10) November 19, 2014

Predictably, Sanders' clever post was a hit with fans, picking up more than 21,000 retweets by Wednesday morning.

Well played, Emmanuel Sanders. Well played indeed. And we're glad you aren't actually dead.
