A phenomenon that's occurred several times this season, but none more dramatically than in Tim Tebow's first playoff appearance. Tebow time was accurately described by Adam Schefter on Twitter, "Tebowtime trumped overtime."
There's no question that was the case as the announcers explaining the new rules for overtime didn't even get the chance to finish the explanation before Tebow completed a pass over the middle to Demaryius Thomas who took it 80 yards to the house. Because of that, Tebow and the Bronco's didn't have to pack up and go to the house for the rest of the offseason. They're still playing. The Steelers on the other hand are not as lucky.
Tebow was at his best when it mattered, but the rest of the game wasn't outstanding. Take away the 80 yard reception in overtime and you've got a guy who racked up all but about 50 yards in the Broncos 20-point second quarter. 50 yards in three quarters? Who cares? Does it really even matter?
Tebow's next feat will be facing the Patriots in Foxboro. Not an easy task, but then again, did you really think they would beat the Steelers?
Congrats Tebow. You deserve it.
