The 8-8
Denver Broncos and Tim Tebow beat the 12-4
Pittsburgh Steelers 29-23 and eliminated them in the first round of the NFL AFC wildcard playoffs in OT. The severely injured Steelers limped into Denver only to be carried out on a slab. The NFL's #1 defense played it's worst game of the season and a hobbled Big Ben Roethlisberger was careless enough with the ball to help the Denver defense secure a 23-23 tie and move the game into overtime.
Tebow
connected with Demaryius Thomas on the first play from scrimmage after
the overtime kickoff to secure the win for Denver. You could tell as the game progressed, the Broncos wanted it more. Tebow had his best game of the season and took advantage of a soft Steelers defense. The Broncos will face the
New England Patriots next on the road to an improbable miracle run to an AFC championship and maybe the Super Bowl!
