Tebow rules in OT, too: Broncos 29, Steelers 23
ARNIE STAPLETON (The Associated Press) ![]() 07:05:31AM (ET) Monday,January 9,2012. DENVER (AP) — "Pull the trigger," John Elway told his Denver Broncos star, Tim Tebow, trying to shake the quarterback from a three-game funk. Tebow went one better — he pulled off an upset. A rejuvenated Tebow connected with Demaryius Thomas on an electrifying 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime and the Broncos defeated the stunned Pittsburgh Steelers 29-23 in the AFC wild-card game on Sunday. Wild doesn't begin to describe it. The play took 11 seconds and was the quickest ending to an overtime in NFL history. Thomas hauled in a high play-action pass at the Denver 38, stiff-armed Ike Taylor and then outraced backup safety Ryan Mundy to the end zone. "I was just saying, 'Man trust your speed. Trust your speed. Don't cut back. Don't cut back.' And he kept it straight. He outran the guy," said Willis McGahee, whose fourth-quarter fumble helped Pittsburgh tie it. "I was like 'Oh my God, is he still running?' Please just go. Please. Please." Tebow, who looked as startled as everyone else, chased down Thomas and knelt on one knee — Tebowing as it's known — in the end zone. Then he pounded a fist in triumph and took a victory lap. --------------------------------------------------------------- I was concerned when the Steelers gained momentum and tied but the Broncos prevailed...yes ! ...Correct me on this but did someone say the Steelers were heavily favored ???What a sucker bet !
