It’s been two days and most of us are still shaking our heads in amazement at the Denver Broncos stunning upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime of the AFC Wild Card playoff game.
Going into the game not many people gave the plucky Broncos a chance to beat the defending AFC champion, Steelers. Sure the game was in Denver, but we’re talking the Pittsburgh Steelers for crying out loud! You know the team with the best defense in the league, the team with future Hall Of Fame QB Ben Roethlisberger, the team, which has won more Super Bowls (6) then any team in NFL history!
We know that the Broncos pulled off this amazing upset, what no one can quite figure out is, how did they do it?
Like much of this season the big story was QB Tim Tebow’s late game heroics. Tebow had a good game, going 10-21 for 316 while rushing 10 times for 50 yards. Most importantly, he came through in the clutch and made the big play when it really counted. His short completion to Demaryius Thomas for a short pass on the first play in overtime turned into a stunning 80-yard game winner.
So what do you think? Help us understand how this game turned out the way it did. Were you surprised? Did you have a hunch? And more importantly, do you think they will do it again this week, when they face off against the also heavily favored, New England Patriots?
