Daily blurb
Tim Tebow is becoming one of the most surprising stories in the NFL this year, having led the Broncos to a 6-1 record since taking over at the starting QB. Until yesterday, the formula seemed to rely heavily on the Denver defense, as the Broncos had won four of those games while scoring less than 20 points. But yesterday, the formula was decidedly different. The final score was 35-32, and Tebow ran only 4 times for 13 yards, while his passing stats were 10/15, 202 yards, and 2 TDs. That’s a normal QB stat line, not a Tebow stat line.

Looking ahead, the Broncos next play the Bears (who currently lack their starting QB & starting RB), followed by the Patriots, Buffalo, and KC. They are currently tied with Oakland for the lead in the AFC West, and the Radiers have to face the Packers in Green Bay next week. After Denver started the season at 1-4 and then made the switch to Tebow, who’d have thought that they’d be staring down a playoff berth in early December?
