Broncos Win on First Play of OT

January 8th, 2012 - 6:17pm by Kenny Legan

The Denver Broncos have won the game on the first play of overtime.

Tim Tebow dropped back to pass and hit Demaryius Thomas wide open 18 yards over the middle. Thomas then broke to the right sideline and ran the rest of the way for the game-winning score.

Even though the Broncos got the ball first, because they scored a touchdown, the Steelers don’t have an opportunity to get the ball.

The Broncos improve to 4-0 in overtime this season, and will go to New England to play the Patriots next Saturday night.

    when told Tebow broke his record for most passing yards in playoff debut Elway said “perfect” and was all smiles. I really think he meant it 2.

  5. Bronco_Turtle says:

    It simply feels so good to know that what we have been watching and saying all season was validated today in the Playoffs….

    Real Fans Believe!!! We believed!!!

    ?!?! TEBOW CAN PASS!!!! Weird that a quarterback with 2 national championships can actually throw the ball… Hmmm wonder where he learned that?!?!?!?!…. LOL HAHAHAHAHA

    TEBOW TEBOW TEBOW!!!!!

  6. 1nOnlyTRB says:

    And werent we talking roll outs and certain people were tryign to tell me that was impossible … yea … so much for that.

    GO BRONCOS

    I would say alot more but Turtle has said it all. Multiple times … that man is having fun on the blogs tonight.

    TRB

  7. alex4serg says:

    BTW, tebow crushed the old record for highest yardage per completion with 31.6.

    And DT has to have set some kind of record with only for catches for over 200 yards.

  8. Bronco_Turtle says:

    BFE… I actuall Drank today, so I may be a little less than Graceful but…. WHATEVER… these guys have been desparging to TEBOW all year… they need to admit they were wrong and let us know how those feet TASTE!!!!!

    :o

  9. 1nOnlyTRB says:

    Tebow stood so tall in the pocket with all that Chaos around him … I was soo impressed.

    TRB

  10. alex4serg says:

    I actually feel good about this rematch coming up. The Broncos will have a chip on their shoulder after having already lost once. Plus we are actually better on the road, it seems.

    No reason we can’t take it to the patriots. If we can hold on to the ball, we already proved that we can have our way with that defense. Should be a good game.

    ONE MORE WEEK!!!!!!! Go Broncos!!

  11. Bronco_Turtle says:

    ONE LOVE BRONCO COUNTRY!!!!

    I’m at a Motel in Denver, and I just wanted to stop in and SAY TEBOW BIATCHES!!! HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW!!!?!?!?! ;o)

    lol… I love you guys!!! I Look forward to hearing BAYLINOCRUSH and CARNAGBRONC publicly apologize!!!!!

    VON TEBOW FOOTBALL BABY!!! LIVE IT>>> LOVE IT>>> and BELIEVE!!!! :o

  12. 1nOnlyTRB says:

    I can only imagine how good Bruton would play with a fully healed achilles.

  13. BeastFromEast92 says:

    I bashed him after his past 2 games,my son told me I was crazy,he didn’t quit believing,but I have to admit I almost did!

    I was wrong,I’m man enough to admit it tho!

    T-N-T deserve the spotlight tonight!!!!!

  14. thecladybunch says:

    I knew after the fly over, when the dust settled and their appeared to be a halo over the stadium….. it was all good…lol

    Congrats to TT on setting a new QBR rating record for a playoff game since it’s inception in 2008.

  15. Bronco_Turtle says:

    And for any of you that think I may have overstepped my Bounds all I have to say is TEBOW BABY!!!

    We didn’t run the ball effectively today, and OUR Quarterback still got it done!!!

    B-R-O-N-C-O-S BRONCOS BRONCOS BRONCOS!!!!

    VON TEBOW BABY!!!! GET YOU SOME!!!!

  16. BeastFromEast92 says:

    Turtle admit it….that beer tasted good didn’t it?….lol.

  17. BeastFromEast92 says:

    You sound like me on Friday Night Live………LMAO!

  18. denver0723 says:

    3 bad games in a row and it is easy to forget the 6 in a row before it. And then to come in off a losing streak and for Tebow to play as well as he did. AWESOME. I believe in the offseason they will work with him on footwork and progressions. In the meantime they just got to play to his strengths and believe in him like they did today. 29points, 316yds, 2 TD and 50 yds rushing, 1 TD against the BEST defense in the league. I would say he has promise. Haters will hate though. Everyone has an opinion.

    My opinion? Tebow is the QB this team needs. Give him some more offensive weapons and this team can be real dangerous. Hell, we already are. We showed that today by knocking the 12-4 Steelers out of the playoffs.

    GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!

    P.S. The TEAM won today. Giving Tebow praise, but I fully recognize that this was a TEAM effort. DT, Champ, Royal, Bruton, Carter, Doom, Miller, Ayers, Bunkley, Prater, Colquitt, Fox, McCoy, OLine, EVERYBODY. Awesome job.

  19. BeastFromEast92 says:

    TRB…Bruton and Carter both played a good game!

    I’m with you on the Mays is average thing bro!

  20. Louisianabroncofan says:

    im not going anywhere and i have no ‘foot’ to taste. Tebow had a good game. One good game. thats awesome, and beating the steelers is awesome, but Tebow still has a long way to go to prove he is the long term answer at qb. if that one game is all you need to jump on and put all your eggs in one basket then you go right on ahead, but don’t tell me that because of one good game that suddenly tebow is this super qb, and all the people who questioned wether those pitiful performances were gonna be enough to get behind are somehow dumb. no way. Just because that crap is coming out of your mouth doesn’t make it true. I am not suddenly some sorry, horrible, unintelligent, non bronco fan because you think this one good performance says so. you beat all i’ve ever seen.

  21. Bronco_Turtle says:

    BFE!!! the Vodka was smooth and the Beer was GREAT!!!!

    LOL… I had my whole section screaming their heads off!!!! :o

    VON TEBOW!!!! Believe me yet?!?!?!

  22. Bronco_Turtle says:

    LBF… Just say VON TEBOW…. and all is forgiven!!!

    Football is a game of Cause and Affect and I think I have made that abundantly clear in my posts as to why I feel the way I do…

    This was not an Aboration… this was TEBOW doing what TEBOW can do… PLAY QUARTERBACK… He does what he is asked…

    VON TEBOW FOOTBALL… You don’t have to believe, but I will take you to task for what you say if you have no proof!!!! lol :o

    GO BRONCOS!!!!

  23. olderthandirt says:

    TEBOWx3 thank you Jesus

  24. Louisianabroncofan says:

    Of course don’t think if tebow goes on a tear and becomes a great qb in the next year i wont then say “ya, i’m gonna eat crow for months” because i will. and i hope i do. I would love for tebow to be a great qb for us, and i’m not a ‘tebow hater’ like you so love to toss around. he’s a bronco and a good kid, and thats great with me. but i’ll go all day and night with you and you wont be able to show me he’s great yet. at all.

  25. denver0723 says:

    Lou, to be fair it is not like this is Tebow’s only good game he has had. He has not been consistent and has had some awful games, but he has had several good games as a pro. This one was his best though, and in the playoffs that is where his best needed to show up. He still shows a lot of promise as a QB. He is not polished yet, but with the right offensive pieces and coaching he can get there. I am guessing you probably find yourself to be a “realist” or a “pessimist” but there are some good things happening. We are still alive in the playoffs, and you should enjoy it. Because right now we have who we have. Feel free to hate Tebow in the offseason, but right now he is the QB for our Broncos, and all we can do is cheer him on and enjoy the ride.

  26. Louisianabroncofan says:

    ok. VON TEBOW.

  27. Bronco_Turtle says:

    LBF… You can stay in your corner with Carnage and try to convince us you know something we don’t… but all the proof is on the field…

    He is a winner, and a Quality Quarterback… Haters Hate, and Fans Cheer…

    TEBOW IS THE MAN!!!!

  28. denver0723 says:

    He said it!!!!!! Drinks all around!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!! lol

  29. Bronco_Turtle says:

    LOL… Ok… :o

    I love you guys!!! ;o)

    Sorry for the obnoxiousness…

  30. Bronco_Turtle says:

    CHEERS TO LBF!!!! Drinks and BONGS on me!!!!

  31. BeastFromEast92 says:

    Last call for Alcohol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  32. denver0723 says:

    WHOA WHOA WHOA Turtle, haha

    A drink will be enough for me lol.

  33. Louisianabroncofan says:

    why on earth do yall think i ‘hate’ tebow? seriously? i have never, and will never, hate anything associated with the broncos. and, yes denver0723, i do feel better about him, and thank you for the civil and thoughtful assessment. If Tebow has another performance like tonight next week, I dang sure will want to keep him as the starting qb this offseason and see if he takes off next season. and if he does, AWESOME. I will von tebow blog all day long. turlte acts like i hate the phrase von tebow or something. quit dismissing me as a hater because its a low blow and unfair. Debate me on what he does all day, but im not at all a ‘hater’

  34. 1nOnlyTRB says:

    I don’t beleive anyone of us have ever claimed Tebow is the greatest now … we just beleive he can get it done and will keep getting better but nope … many people were ready to bail out … like was said easy to forget the 6 wins after 3 losses. Because apparently Tebow just can’t have “bad games” … today he had a good game. Doesn’t mean he is the messaih but people always wanna crucify him when he looks like what? a 2nd yr QB … with like 13 starts to his name? Relax guys and enjoy the ride .. you don’t become elway or brady over night. This kid is here to stay and I am excited about that. Its either you believe in him or you don’t in my book. Cuz all the kid does is win win win (with help from his teammates of course)

    TRB

  35. Bronco_Turtle says:

    :o I’m sorry for coming out tonight and just letting the Shotgun blast away, but I have sat back and let people voice oppinions that were nothing more than simple oppinions for months… It kills me inside when an oppinion is espoused without any form of backing…

    I love you all, I really do… so I do sincerely apologize for simply being a Drunken Turtle!!!

    ONE LOVE!!! DENVER BRONCOS!!!

  36. buck484 says:

    Did anyone notice that Fels made a couple good graps today also? Totally a great game for all the Broncos.

  37. Louisianabroncofan says:

    “haters hate and fans cheer”- pathetic. and all you’ve got. which doubles the pathetic. i cheered my a$# off tonight like i have all my life for the broncos, and that will never change. He has always been a winner for sure, but a quality qb remains to be seen. You can love tebow blindly all day long, but i want want whats best for the broncos, and you just care about tebow and tebow. If he doesnt get any better than what he was this season, he is not the answer at qb. period. if he does, then i’m all go on tebow as the qb of the denver broncos.

  38. thecladybunch says:

    DMT said ” I was wondering why everyone was running for me in the endzone, I actually thought they had a chance to score (Pittsburgh) then i saw the scoreboard, and boom game over” LMFAO..!!!

  39. denver0723 says:

    No worries Lou, Turtle is just having some fun. I understand what you are saying, and I feel bad that you are taking some heat as well. But a few of us have really been behind Tebow, and have been defending him through everything and for him to play this well against the Steelers makes us want to jump up and say “Ha! Hate now! Hate now! What you gonna say now!?” and unfortunately you are one of the ones that had reservations about him, so you are going to catch all the backlash in this moment. But fear not, once carnage posts I am sure they will direct their attention his way. Nobody questions your love of the Broncos. The Tebow debate just gets intense, and right now ProTebow Camp is celebrating at your expense. I am sure the debate will be interesting this entire week. I am ProTebow, but I will probably steer clear of the discussions if they start getting ugly haha.

  40. Bronco_Turtle says:

    LBF… you had your chance to say what you thought about Tebow, and you jumped on Bay’s Wait and See wagon…

    Some of us have seen this all season, and understand why Tebow does have struggles…

    There are very few of us that said all year that this was our guy… and these people should be commended for their efforts!

    You know I’m not off base… and that Tebow Proved the Haters wrong… Hate if you will, but TEBOW IS THE MAN!!!

  41. denver0723 says:

    Anyways, why are we arguing at all?

    WE WON A PLAYOFF GAME TODAY!

    BACK TO THE PARTY!

    GOOOOOOOO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  42. Bronco_Turtle says:

    LOL… Denver 0723…

    I agree… GO BRONCOS… there is really no argument… just some people get offensive when Called on their BLAH BLAH BLAH…

    I’m here, still standing… was behind Tebow All the way, even through the Struggles, and this is my reward… a PLAYOFF VICTORY that I was cheering for and believing in the whole time… I was at the game and I saw first hand what Tebow can do to the NFL’s Number 1 Defense…

    It’s not personal… VON TEBOW BABY…. JUST BELIEVE!!!!

  43. Louisianabroncofan says:

    yes, trb, people where claiming tebow as the greatest ever. have you seen some of this stuff about him? and criticizing him is not ‘bailing out’, its calling his play during bad games what it was and being critical of it. no one forgot the 6 wins, he didn’t play well at all during those games either. do you really think he had 6 really good games? thats not at all what i saw. i’ve seen one really good game from him. and that was tonight. other than that it was the team and other teams mistakes bailing his terrible play out long enough to make a play or two in the end of games. don’t give me this ’2nd year qb 13 game’ stuff, look at dalton, and newton, and jake locker. he has played terrible until today overall, and thats a fact. i don’t like that fact, but it is what it is.

  44. Bronco_Turtle says:

    AND… I got to hang out with Bradlee Van Pelt before the game…

    It was Great….!!!! He is a Cool Cat, and Really someone that I can cheer for if he makes another run at the NFL…

    B-R-O-N-C-O-S BRONCOS BRONCOS BRONCOS!!!!

  45. thecladybunch says:

    I knew with that zone blitz scheme there were some really big plays coming our way if we could catch them in bad spot and it happened all day!!

  46. Bronco_Turtle says:

    LBF… a wounded bird flaps the hardest… Don’t try to defend your position please… some people were simply WRONG about Tebow and His Talent Level…

    He is a PRO QUARTERBACK!!! and some of us have seen it since Snap number 1!!!!

    VON TEBOW BABY!!!!

  47. BeastFromEast92 says:

    This was the last day for deer hunting…juvenile day,so I took my son this morning,cause we wasn’t missing the playoff game,win or lose,I haven’t missed any Bronco playoff games since I became a fan in ’83!

  48. Bronco_Turtle says:

    Nice… BFE do you facebook… I will take you and your son Elk Hunting Next year if you want to go!!!

  49. BeastFromEast92 says:

    tcb…I heard that bro!

  50. dad13xbroncsfan says:

    I have described the Tebow effect over and over on the blog throughout the season! It is Mile High Magic! It is a beautiful thing! To me it is bigger than Tebow – and it explains far more than wins and losses. Tebow the man-child still has much that he can improve. Tebow the icon….has become as big as….Eric Liddell /1924 Olympics?!!!! (I need help with the description)

    To me….there is no doubt that there is a Divine intervention. I have no idea what God wishes to accomplish…I doubt it is Super Bowl wins…I suspicion that it is precisely because Tebow honors God that God honors Tebow. It is likely, to my way of thinking, that as long as Tebow is using the platform earned in football to honor God and serve people….we, the Bronco faithful, will receive the added benefit of watching football greatness!!!

    As a Missionary – I believe it is my job to point it out, and continue to encourage you fans to “see it”. What you do with it???

    God Bless the Bad News Broncos!!!
