First-and-10 from the San Diego 29 (2:19, 2nd quarter): Elvis Dumervil sacked Rivers for a 13-yard loss that got the Chargers’ two-minute drive started in the wrong direction. Even after San Diego picked up 15 yards from a personal foul on the next play, the offense couldn’t get any momentum on the possession, resulting in a punt with 1:43 that gave the ball back to the Broncos for a scoring drive before halftime.
Second-and-7 from the San Diego 43 (1:21, 2nd quarter): After making a 19-yard catch over the middle, tight end Daniel Fells fumbled the football. Tackle Orlando Franklin hustled down the field on the play and was there to fall on the loose ball, maintaining the drive, which would result in an 18-yard touchdown pass from Tebow to Eric Decker two plays later.
Third-and-5 from the San Diego 42 (3:03, 3rd quarter): Tebow and Matthew Willis connected on a key third down, picking up 14 yards on the play, which moved Denver into field goal range. Prater would connect from 41 yards out to cut the Chargers’ lead to 13-10.
Third-and-6 from the San Diego 33 (9:13, 4th quarter): Tebow appeared to pick up the first down and move Denver into scoring position with a 12-yard run, but the play was called back due to a holding penalty. Pushed back 10 yards, Tebow threw an incompletion on third down and the Broncos were forced to punt.
Third-and-11 from the Denver 25 (4:19, 4th quarter): With great protection from the offensive line, Tebow took his time and found Decker, who made a diving catch for a gain of 39 yards. The play was challenged and the on-field ruling of a completion was upheld. The third-down conversion kept the drive alive that resulted in a 24-yard field goal by Matt Prater to tie the game late in regulation.
Third-and-6 from the Denver 31 (3:31, overtime): Already at the edge of Nick Novak’s field goal range, the Chargers handed the ball off to Mike Tolbert hoping to make for a shorter game-winning attempt. Instead, Von Miller met Tolbert in the backfield and brought him down for a four-yard loss, turning what would have been a 49-yard attempt into a 53-yarder, which Novak missed, setting up the Broncos’ game-winning drive on their ensuing possession.
Second-and-6 from the San Diego 41 (2:00, overtime): Coming out of the two-minute warning, Willis McGahee broke off his longest run of the day — a 24-yard gain that put the Broncos at the Chargers 17. Tebow centered the ball on the next play and then Prater delivered the 37-yard winner.

Yeah I just watched a reply of the vikings kick returner, return a kick for 104 yards down to the 2 yard line and they still didn’t score with that field position lol!!!
The “dream team” was build through free agency, which is not a good model for the NFL… It might work in other sports, but to be successful in the NFL, you have to build through the draft.. I for one saw a MAJOR turn around in our last draft compared to our recent history, and I hope that trend continues!
I saw that too. Even Peterson doesn`t scare me at all.
TRB…
can you post the site where Miller is Tebowing in a Tebow jersey? Thanks man!
Whats the scoop with Rahim Moore. He struggling obviously.
Freak, how goes it BRO. WE WON!!
And I agree with Brian, hopefully there will still be a good CB available at #32…
If we do reach the SB it`s another G.B. vs Denver rematch. LOL
And we`ll be 14 point underdogs again.
Two cold weather teams playing on the carpet too… lol
bay, your last post was like an hour ago……….
busy posting on all the other teams blogs I see………..
LMAO!!! hahaha
Yea, you definitely have to know that if we would’ve gotten fair calls with Decker getting pushed in the back on that pass which should’ve been pass interference and then where they called that BS hold on Walton when Tebow ran for a 1st down this game shouldn’t have went into overtime. But doesn’t matter, the refs still couldn’t keep us away from our win!!!
Love seeing my boys finally play together as a team!! It’s AWESOME having a whole team of great players instead of just one to two people. I know for the past couple of years the only thing that I’ve heard from the critics was that the only good players we had were Doom and Lloyd…they didn’t even include the Champ.
We’ll my question is, what are they thinking now??
I honestly believe that there are at least 10 people on our team that look like pro bowl caliber players!! Put that together with the heart and desire to do anything to win, then the sky is the limit!!
Strand what’s going on bro??
Yea, that would be a heck of a game!! GB beat us with Orton starting. What a story it would be if we went back to the superbowl this year against Green Bay and beat them with Tebow!!!
Would be by far the biggest superbowl ever!!! But I will say, it’s not impossible! One game at a time baby!
When the officials don’t see a facemask on the QB – it seems there is some intentional blindness happening. Once could happen to anyone.
The late hit was close – I’ll forgive them that one.
The PI on Deck got me fired up. I don’t know how that one could be excused, understood, explained away. That official saw it and refused to call it. I want a full investigation of that guys finances – his bank accounts, his contacts, his pocket change – if he has any connection with any type of bookie, he needs to be fired. LOL – my rant for the day!!!
I’m very happy today but I have a complaint:
“Denver only had 52 players on its roster Sunday after choosing not to fill the spot vacated with the decision to waive Kyle Orton last Tuesday.”
Yo Elway/ Xanders, can you do your job and find a free agent please. We are trying to make the playoffs.
“Denver coach John Fox asked Tebow to address the team the night before this AFC West showdown. The quarterback fell back on what he knew best, and inspired the troops by quoting from the Old Testament.
“He said iron sharpens iron and men sharpen other men. And I think that’s totally true,” Miller said. “He gave us a great speech. We came out (for the game) fired up. And that was a wrap.”
From kizla
Tebow makes a difference. Time for everyone (that means you Elway) to realize it.
The Decker play was the most obvious. I will say this though, if we hit Rivers that close out of bounds, there would have been a flag. But oh well, we won.
How about Von Miller with 10.5 sacks so far.
Armadillo, your one intense dude. Just glad your nothing like the dude who keeps getting kicked off of this blog site. Hey, it`s still a free Country, right. Broncos Country at that Baby!!
Yea, anti tebow crowd namely carnage thought Tebow not getting voted captain was verdict on his leadership. U don’t need a C to be a leader. U lead by example, u inspire with ur will to win, and in the case of this game, u give a speech. Fox looked to tebow for. Speech, not any other captain, cuz as a Qb whether u are a captain or not, u are da leader and tebow got intangibles coming out the wazzu. TRB
I get very intense when it comes to things that I believe in. I believe in Tebow. Winners like him come along very rarely. He’s like Jim Mc for the bears (before his injuries). His stats weren’t pretty but he made his team better… I just want our front office to step up. I mean going into a game with only 52. Come on.. How about activating a WR off the practice squad. We could of used the WR instead of throwing 5-9 JJ rb out there. The Giants have inj’s they pull out V. Cruz.. Dallas has injuries and they find Laurent… We ditch gaffney, Lloyd, and E. Riley, and we get J. Johnson rb lined up at receiver. Come on, I can do better for only 100,000 per year.
Is it Sunday yet?

Interesting stats on passing percentage of winning team QBs. THere were 6 QBs with a completion percentage of 56% of less who won yesterday. Maybe completion perentage is less important than when they were completed. Tebow was 8 of 18 with 1 obviuoisly bad pass, 1 possibly bad and a least 2 drops on 3rd down throws for 1st down yardage if caught. I’m not saying the Tebow’s got it all together, but he’s definitely better than his first start this year. Elways got is right, the answer is that we still don’t know if TT is the long term answer. Remember, we’re only 6 games into his 11 game “tryout”.
