The most complete "TEAM WIN" I have seen in years. While our WR's had early game drops - even they made up for it late in the game. GREAT TEAM WIN!!! GO BRONCOS!!! 8) THAT was the “ENTIRE TEAM” effort!!! The most complete “TEAM WIN” I have seen in years. While our WR’s had early game drops – even they made up for it late in the game.

Highest Total QBR in 2011 Final 7 Minutes of 4th Qtr Tim Tebow 96.3 Matt Hasselbeck 94.4 Aaron Rodgers 91.7 Tom Brady 83.0 Eli Manning 81.4 Tim Tebow has helped lead the Broncos back from 4th-quarter deficits in each of their last four games. This season, he has thrown for more yards in the 4th quarter than the first three quarters combined, and his 96.3 Total QBR in the final seven minutes of the 4th quarter is the highest among NFL quarterbacks with at least 40 action plays. But the Broncos success late in games hasn’t all been about Tebow. Below are nine other reasons why Denver has gone 7-1 over the last eight weeks. All numbers below are from the final seven minutes of regulation since Week 7, the first game that Tebow started this season. Bronco Defense • 6 sacks (T-most in NFL) including 5 by Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil (T-most among any teammates in NFL) • 13.1 opponent Total QBR (2nd in NFL: Seahawks, 4.1) • 0 rush TD and 0 20-yard rushes allowed • 0 pass TD and 0 30-yard passes allowed • 46.5 completion percentage allowed (6th in NFL) and 2 interceptions (T-6th in NFL) Punter Britton Colquitt • 2 punts downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line (T-5th in NFL) since Week 7 with no touchbacks • No punts blocked and no punt return TD allowed • 41.3 net yards per punt (T-7th in NFL, min. 3 punts) Kicker Matt Prater • Made 4 of 5 FG attempts (T-most in NFL) including both attempts from at least 45 yards away (most in NFL) Source: Jason Starrett - ESPN Well maybe not all about Tebow but it certainly has a direct correlation since he took over... lol! “Behind the play of their young quarterback, the final seven minutes of regulation have been “Tebow Time” for the Denver Broncos”.

Final 7 Minutes of 4th Qtr

Tim Tebow 96.3
Matt Hasselbeck 94.4
Aaron Rodgers 91.7
Tom Brady 83.0
Eli Manning 81.4

Tim Tebow has helped lead the Broncos back from 4th-quarter deficits in each of their last four games. This season, he has thrown for more yards in the 4th quarter than the first three quarters combined, and his 96.3 Total QBR in the final seven minutes of the 4th quarter is the highest among NFL quarterbacks with at least 40 action plays.

But the Broncos success late in games hasn’t all been about Tebow. Below are nine other reasons why Denver has gone 7-1 over the last eight weeks.

All numbers below are from the final seven minutes of regulation since Week 7, the first game that Tebow started this season.

Bronco Defense
• 6 sacks (T-most in NFL) including 5 by Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil (T-most among any teammates in NFL)

• 13.1 opponent Total QBR (2nd in NFL: Seahawks, 4.1)

• 0 rush TD and 0 20-yard rushes allowed

• 0 pass TD and 0 30-yard passes allowed

• 46.5 completion percentage allowed (6th in NFL) and 2 interceptions (T-6th in NFL)

Punter Britton Colquitt
• 2 punts downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line (T-5th in NFL) since Week 7 with no touchbacks

• No punts blocked and no punt return TD allowed

• 41.3 net yards per punt (T-7th in NFL, min. 3 punts)

Kicker Matt Prater
• Made 4 of 5 FG attempts (T-most in NFL) including both attempts from at least 45 yards away (most in NFL)

Well maybe not all about Tebow but it certainly has a direct correlation since he took over… lol!

Champ def did tho. Tebow, Tebowing .... awesome Im sure McDaniels is in STL like ... broncos are winning with my draft pick ... the guy that I traded alot of picks to draft cuz I knew people would want him and I wanted to our scoop em. Difference however is ... i don't think McD woulda altered his playbook nor do I think he woulda worked well with Tebow ... Fox is a players coach ... great guy that people love ... which is probably why Woodyard feels this year is more like college. A friendly happy atmospher where theres a tight bond and everyone hangs out. But tebow didn't need the option to survive ... people forget he did just well in McDs pass heavy system last year towards the end of the season ... passing the ball. Without McD but the same pass heavy system. Dunno about superbowl ... but I know OUR superbowl might be next week ... huge game ... and huge confidence booster if we win .... will continue our Momentum too ... heck whow knows ... maybe we rise ... Patriots fall and fall again ... along with other playoff teams and we end up having first round bye ... pipe dream yes I know but would be awesome ... Altho bye weeks often hurt more than they help at times ... Pacekrs made thier run without it ... they just kept trucking. No rust.

I want to hear how Tebow inspires the troops. Guess he won't be saying "my team mates need to rise to my level of play" like Newton said. Of course he is going to be a superstar in the NFL, just look at HIS numbers LOL. I am really looking forward to the re-play tonight. I want to hear how Tebow inspires the troops.

I can't wait to hear what Brady has to say after witnessing the Speed and Power of VON first hand... O'yeah... and Can we get some TE love? just a little... Maybe 3 catches for 40 yards and a couple first downs? is that too much to ask?
