God didn't go to church today...No, he went to Mile High Stadium.
January 8th, 2012 at 4:52 PM ^
The opening kickoff bounced off the crossbar, rolled to the 20 and stopped, squarely on the yard line where the ball needed to be after the touchback.
Lowest probability thing I've ever seen on a football field.
January 8th, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
Tebow also threw three perfect bombs...also very low probability! haha
January 8th, 2012 at 4:32 PM ^
These games are pretty bad. Except for the very top, the NFL is pretty weak this year and these wildcard matchups are terrible. Steelers-Broncos shouldn't be much better. Low scoring but I don't see the Steelers letting Tebow back in.
January 8th, 2012 at 5:15 PM ^
I think I'm trying to convince myself to watch them. The Lions-Saints was good on paper, and most of the game, but the other wild card match-ups are a drag. Hopefully next week will be better with the rest of the big guns.

<br>Might be time to rewatch the Sugar Bowl.
January 8th, 2012 at 4:37 PM ^
Bronco fans received orange Tebow towels. Problem, Pittsburgh?
January 8th, 2012 at 4:39 PM ^
I cant watch another football game after last nights game. Such a frustrating second half. Its not that we lost. Its that we had a chance if we could tackle or if the secondary could have caught some of brees passes
January 8th, 2012 at 4:57 PM ^
may be insurmountable
January 8th, 2012 at 5:07 PM ^
run, run, wild incomplete pass, punt.
January 8th, 2012 at 5:21 PM ^
All the broncos need is 3 safeties for the tie! It'll all probably happen in the last 4 minutes of the game tho. Until then, I'll watch paint dry...
January 8th, 2012 at 5:28 PM ^
and now Denver leads
January 8th, 2012 at 5:29 PM ^
Those were some nice throws from Tebow.
January 8th, 2012 at 5:43 PM ^
It has come early today. 14-6
January 8th, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
Wow, Tebow looks good against another team decimated by injury. Well I'm convinced that he is in fact Jesus now.
January 8th, 2012 at 6:24 PM ^
I haven't watched the Steelers much this year, but were Mendenhall and Ben's ankle starters on defense earlier this year?
January 8th, 2012 at 5:49 PM ^
Roethlisberger shaken up by a sack. Ankle injury looks like it just got aggravated. As I'm typing he throws a pick. TEEEEBBBOOOWWWW
January 8th, 2012 at 5:51 PM ^
...was giving 2-1 odds against Denver winning a playoff game with Tebow at QB, regardless of the opponent or site.
Did anyone take him up on it?
January 8th, 2012 at 5:57 PM ^
Another interception but it's reversed due to offsides. Could've been huge.
January 8th, 2012 at 6:01 PM ^
HOW THE *%*( IS THAT NOT HELMET TO HELMET?! &%*$^& YOU GOODELL!
January 8th, 2012 at 6:02 PM ^
Chill
January 8th, 2012 at 6:43 PM ^
If the Broncos win the SB I'll be a Tebow beleiver.
January 8th, 2012 at 6:46 PM ^
Have to give it to the Broncos.
January 8th, 2012 at 6:52 PM ^
Dumb Rule
January 8th, 2012 at 6:53 PM ^
Apparently and correct me if I am wrong, whistling the play dead called it a incomplete pass therefore unreviewable - i thought all plays were reviewable including those whistled dead? The "whistled dead" rule is ridiculous and while Nantz is a questionable announcer (see: Fab Five coverage) he was right that the NFL committee needs to look at the whistle issue.
January 8th, 2012 at 8:11 PM ^
i couldve sworn they changed the rule after Ed Hockuli screwed up the play a few years ago and if it was a clear recovery by one team, they can review it and award possession to the recovring team?
January 8th, 2012 at 7:09 PM ^
BJ Raji's face during the new discount double check commercial absolutely slays me.
January 8th, 2012 at 7:37 PM ^
Teach me how to Raji
January 8th, 2012 at 7:33 PM ^
Polamalu is a dirty player - will enjoy seeing Tebow beat his smug but.
However, given the Michigan folks on Steeler unit, will be a heavy heart that i cheer for Polamalu to lose.
January 8th, 2012 at 7:35 PM ^
Devastating fumble.
January 8th, 2012 at 7:35 PM ^
mundy to woodley forced fumble, if it stands.
January 8th, 2012 at 7:42 PM ^
Did they list Michigan or West Virgina Mundy's college?
January 8th, 2012 at 7:45 PM ^
Make Tebow go the **** away for awhile.
January 8th, 2012 at 7:48 PM ^
That's two playoff games So far this season that the refs have totally jobbed a team by blowing the whistle way too quickly On a close plAy
January 8th, 2012 at 7:55 PM ^
You watching on a delay??
January 8th, 2012 at 7:58 PM ^
Just still pissed
January 8th, 2012 at 8:03 PM ^
Overtebow.
January 8th, 2012 at 8:06 PM ^
I logged in just to say how pissed I am that Tomlin didn't attempt the 68 yrd FG. Perfect opportunity to break the record.
January 8th, 2012 at 8:07 PM ^
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBBBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW
January 8th, 2012 at 8:07 PM ^
Lol Steelers!? What the heck was that!?
January 8th, 2012 at 8:08 PM ^
January 8th, 2012 at 8:08 PM ^
Wow, the Steelers and Rapelisberger just got Tebowed
January 8th, 2012 at 8:08 PM ^
A pretty good, if ugly game.
January 8th, 2012 at 8:09 PM ^
are total bs.
January 8th, 2012 at 8:09 PM ^
January 8th, 2012 at 8:10 PM ^
I don't believe it! Broncos win on Tebow's arm and Steeler's decimated #1 defense
January 8th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
January 8th, 2012 at 8:19 PM ^
Or just play a quarter
January 8th, 2012 at 8:31 PM ^
10 minutes on the clock. New quarter. Whoever wins the quarter wins teh game. Simple and fair. The new rules try to move away from the old ones but still give the team who wins the coin toss a significant advantage....so they don't really accomplish anything except make it more confusing.
