Tim Tebow has led Denver (9-8) on 18 scoring drives in the fourth quarter or overtime over the last 12 games, the most recent coming on Demaryius Thomas’ 80-yard catch and run on the first play of overtime in Sunday’s 29-23 playoff upset of the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was Tebow’s fourth win in overtime this season.
The second-year quarterback played well in his first test vs. a New England team that has struggled defensively, allowing 4,727 passing yards. Tebow completed 11 of 22 for 194 yards and was Denver’s leading rusher with 93 yards and two scores.
If quarterback Tom Brady and his high-octane Patriots start quickly and make the NFL’s top ground game (164.5 yards a game) less of a weapon, Broncos coach John Fox is confident Tebow will respond to the challenge.
