A late interception by Andre’ Goodman set the Broncos up deep in Vikings territory with the game tied late in the fourth quarter, and from there kicker Matt Prater did the rest.
Prater drilled a 23-yard fied goal as time expired to give Denver a 35-32 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.
It was another comeback victory for the Broncos who trailed 15-7 at halftime. Tim Tebow connected with Demaryius Thomas for two touchdowns in the second half and Willis McGahee scored from 24 yards out to cut the Vikings lead to two in midway through the fourth quarter. Tebow then ran into the end zone to convert the 2-point try and tie the game.
The Vikings and Broncos then exchanged field goals before Goodman came up with the late interception to set up the victory.
The Broncos (7-5) are now tied for first-place in the AFC West with the win and Oakland’s loss today in Miami.

Great team win guys. Keep up the good work. Now time to get ready for the next one.
Good job to the whole team.
Tebow was much improved. 10 for 15 and 202 yards, that is a 66% completion rate. Better and better.
Much better passes and catches by our Denver Broncos. Another miracle win. YEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If KC can beat the bears with Palko then we can for sure.Sorry for Orton getting hurt on his first series with them.
much improved is right
Just takes time and I am glad he is getting the time.
Goody redeemed himself at the very end. He`s scary I`ll tell ya. Lots of blown coverages by him, ouch.
Orton got hurt, what happened? Is it bad?
Oh yes. What can I say we never give up. Tebow played like a traditional QB tonite. He had a great game. Defence came up with two big interceptions. Prater clutch kicker as usual. And Willis McGahee legend. Eric Studs showed he knows talent by recommending him.
We now control our own destiny. Who can believe that. Funny thing is Tebow and the word destiny fit together I reckon. During 30s recession people jumped on board a horse called seabiscuit and a boxer with the nickname cinderella man. I think Tebow is that guy for America right now. Only thing is he is a man with a horse on his head. I love the man. I am not religious but I admire his heart and who he wants to be. Its not about the money. Its about winning and people. Now thats a story I want to be a part off. Written off by experts. Only 1 person can decide in life who you will become and thats yourself. Something all of us should take on board.
Elway is getting more to think about every week
We needed this win bad! Talk about crusial!
Shatzah i did not get a chance to blog this week but i did read and i read about your loss and i want to give you and your family my sympathy my prayers are with you
So you’re telling me Tebow threw for 58 yards to receivers not named DMT…
Well, I guess you can say that Tebow-n-Thomas we’re DynOmite today!
What a way to win. Unbelievable! 1st place AFC West
GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!
We`ll kill the Bears, no doubt!!!! Easy win next weekend!!
Love your post Collies10!
We didnt use alot of option today either mixing it in with a traditional offence and we could cause trouble but McCoy has to mix it up more
Think about this yall. Not only a come from behind win, but a great COME FROM BEHIND 1-4 season to now 7-5 LEAD ATOP the AFC WEST!!!!
Thanks Marsh, I took some advice from daddy and spoke to a therapist where I worked and it helped. The win also helped lol.
Tim Tebow is getting a better feel for a traditional style OFFENSE. GREAT FOR THE BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!
Well Bay, did Tebow convince you a little more this week? I bet the analysts focus on the first half.
Thanks Sndvl I just cant get enough over in Ireland here. pretty inspiring stuff. I think I am going end in tears one day with this guy. I be up to 4 in morning if we are late game. Just such a story.
I think i predicted 9-7 i hope i lose and it is 11-5
Funny how Miami has changed our season again
You`ll be in my prayers Shaz.
strands i agree about goody redeeming himself at the end. i was yelling through the whole game at goody. good for him. TT played great. I dont care what anyone says he can throw the football. especially when it counts. TEBOW TIME.
Last week I predicted that the Dolphins would win against the raiders. I said that Miami`s D is stingy right now.
Tim has a great feel for the throwing game now.
ready for next week. anyone hear anything about forte. he went out with a knee injury. hope he doesnt play . that will be good for us. also what happen to orton.
The raiders are at G.B. next weekend. Not a chance!!
The Bears wont know next week if to cover Decker or Thomas
Orton got knocked out his first play
It looks like they are slowly trying to transition themselves to a traditional offense. It is definitely working. They mix it up so much that the defense has problems. I like how they started in the option and the first series of the second half they went traditional and it threw the defense way off. People will look at Tims passing and then they will have to account for that now too.
Is he out for the year or just a stinger?
His finger looked broken to me.
I agree. Timmy will only get better. Today, he had awesome touch on the ball.
Strand completly agree. He is a franchise QB becoming more obvious week by week. Also I really like Fox. Its as if he is your old uncle who just knows things. Complete faith our organisation going in right direction from top to bottom.
Just look at the soul in the team. Bailey, Dawkins, Tebow, Elway, Fox. Its like the cowboy movies and we wear the white hats. And so happy to say the black hats (raiders) got stuffed to day.
Ouch! thanks for the heads up.
I play poker on Tuesday nights at a Sports Bar. There`s a guy there I know who says he lived in Florida a few years while in the Navy. He claims his son played high school football against Tim Tebow in the playoffs. This dude said that Tim Tebow had a great arm in High school and threw a perfect 60 yard pass for a TD. He said to me a month ago (Tim Tebow WILL be a star in the NFL). The guys a Rams fan to boot.
so pumped and happy we won today. ponder sure can sling that ball around. and bey bey had a great game. its about time. sure did miss miller out there. the d needed him.
I can’t wait to read Bay’s breakdown of the game. I also hope armadillo put in his 2 cents too.
Collies10, your 2:54 post is right on the money.
I always like to hear Bays input on the game.
from PFT.com “Running back Matt Forte is believed to have a torn MCL.”
Glad we won!!
I would like to see a little more second half play calling in the first half.
Yeah thomas stepped up. I always liked the guy. Think more to come from him. He could be a superstar. I mean on draft position are offence is high. The line all top picks. Tebow a 1st thomas a 1st. Talent just needed a coach. I think we found him.
Once again we see the Broncos playing for each other. Huge special teams returns, Defense scores and Mays pick it up for Miller. Offense makes the adjustments at the half and Tebow shows the touch we are all hoping becomes his M.O. Announcers compared his numbers to Big Ben. No, he is not on a par with Big Ben but he continues to improve.
Notice the touchdown to pass attempt ratio for Tebow; only 15 passes attempted but 2 touchdowns and over 200 yards! Around 14 yards per attempt. This is becoming a strong minded team. Anybody notice Elway’s demeanor? He seems to be deveolping more confidence in Tebow each week. I think Tim turned the corner today.
As much as I like how Thomas did today, I hope there is more to come! It was a lot of broken coverage on him. I would had been impressed with his 1st round talent if he could make those tough catches, like at the end of the game diving into the end zone!
I truely believe Fox`s game plan for the 1st half is a conservative approach to keep the game close, then in the 2nd half, the game plan seems to be on making the adjustments and be more aggressive.
Our D made some crusial mistakes today and allowed some big TD`s. We still overcame with a win.
strand i notice that too. but i do have to say we always make great second half changes. and execute.
