Tim Tebow's playoff overtime miracle deserves a deep rewind | 2011 AFC Wild Card Broncos vs Steelers

- One of the biggest surprises of the 2011 NFL season was the success of Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos. It didn't always look pretty, but they won, and it all culminated in an AFC Wild Card game for the history books. With the Steelers one year removed from a Super Bowl appearance, the Broncos had an uphill battle, but Tebow and Co. were up for the challenge.

RIP Demaryius Thomas. One hell of a wideout, and of course on the receiving end of this moment of history....
Even as a lifelong Chargers fan, this news had me tearing up in the middle of my shift. Incredible player and even better man, DT will be greatly missed by all.
It’s tragic and sad how SO many NFL players seem to die really young. It’s also very hard to explain. There’s no doubt that CTE plays a role in it, but that’s only one part of the story. The other parts of the story are a mystery to me. It’s just a tragic pattern that I’ll never fully understand: if you play in the NFL, then you have an above-average risk of dying very young 😢😢
this was all DT. Tebow did nothing.
I feel like this really undersold Tebow's wild regular season
Iiiiiiiiit's TEEEEBOW TIIIIME!!! what a fun year
If you watched his regular season then you know...so don't worry.
People hate Tebow for whatever reason. Tebow is a great quarterback for the right offense.
Denver had that offense.
The jets? Nah.
@@thehitomiboy7379 exactly he could've had a pretty decent career and been a goal line threat and a good smart game manager but he got snubbed going to the jets
@@robertacosta1293 YUP. The NFL didn't like his religion so they sabatoged him.
Like when John Scott was nominated to the all-stars and the NHL tried to sabotage him.
BUT, the fans sparked massive outcry and the NHL actually listened to the fans (amazing concept) and waived the rule that prevented him from being an all-star.
NFL however thinks it's god.
One of the best days I can remember being a Broncos fan. It was unbelievable, I was running around my house like a crazy man
Just imagine if we gave that man a chance to develop after Manning. Manning could've taught him how to read a defense and some better mechanics. Then instead of Siemian a mid-20s Tebow comes out and looks amazing. (This is all speculation but it could've happened, Tebow would still be better than these past 2 Years)
BeatMyYeet he wouldn’t of stayed he believed he was a starter, we would have had to overpay him, good we traded but Yeah the last two years were pretty painful anyway you put it
And then the embarrassment when the pats humiliated y’all the next week lol
I think we paid that back with our Ws in 2013 and 2015
Guardax Guardian “Ws”? I wanna say you meant super bowl and yea but y’all got embarrassed in 2013
What this video taught me is that Matt Prater was their mvp that year
Jon Scholten “I pray to you, Matt Prater.”
Tebow hate is strong
As someone who lived in Colorado during this season, it is near impossible to translate the still incredible good will this season gave Tebow here. He was a local hero and I still talk to some people who say that at worst we should take him back to be a 2nd String QB.
When broncos got Peyton Manning him and prater were unstoppable
Except for Prater missing 2 FGs against Miami before "winning the game", and he missed 1 FG against the Bears before "winning that game". Prater was good, but he does not rank that highly in the history of Broncos Kickers. Tebow in retrospect is the only QB ever drafted by the Broncos to win a playoff game for the Broncos, and he has the highest ranking of any Broncos QB ever in a playoff game.
Tim Tebow will always be a legend to me
And will always be a bust to me
Bust
@@calebmorris498 how are you a bust when the one year you get to play, you beat the defending champs in a playoff game? GTFOH
@@redseaford9426 You can accidentally win a playoff game. This is proof.
@@redseaford9426 he had 45% completion date and a yards per attempt under 7. He is the definition of bust.
This was the craziest season to be a Broncos fan. One of the most fun I can remember. Thank you Tim.
Tebow is the only QB player to fail in an NFL career without getting a chance to fail. He never got a shot to start after this season and his stats were decent enough when you included rushing and W-L was great. I doubt he would have made it as a starter, but why to never start again was ludicrous.
Money Charts he wasnt good enough to win a starting job his best chance was denver but the best qb to ever play the game decided he wanted that job
Money Charts politics
Not the only one. They are many. A QB in the NFL has to master his throwing motion to be taken seriously. Only recently quarterbacks under 6 ft have been given consistent shots at QB.
Tebow's stats in Denver were terrible. A low QB rating, passer rating and a laughable 46% completion percentage. The defense and running game is what carried the team. He then failed to perform well in practice on either the Jets or Patriots. He was given ample opportunity to prove himself.
he got a shot with the jets, patriots, and offered many other shots. When denver was looking to trade him, jaxsonville offered the best trade, but tebow didnt want to go there. this made jax not want to give him a shot later especially when they drafted bortles. Also, when tebow was starting in denver, their defense carried them in all of those close wins where tebow came back late. All of those scores were 10 to 0, or 13 to 3, all with denvers defense holding it close despite tebow only having 40 yards of offense for the entire game up to the final few minutes at times. Not to say he didn't have clutch plays, but he was really subpar even that remarkable season where they upset the steelers. His true abilities were showcased the following week vs the pats. You see, the pats were able to score and get a 14 point lead, and although tebow had many open receivers, he would either miss them horribly, or he wouldn't make the read and would tuck and run for gains of no more than 2 yards or a sack. Also, Elway never planned to start tebow as he looked terrible in practices, but because the fans kept crying and crying, he gave tebow the shot. When tebow was being traded, the jaguars wanted him and wouldve gave him the start because of his Florida roots. Instead he chose the Jets, where he got "the chance" to battle for a starting spot. He never even won the third string job there, and they wanted him to be there fullback but he declined. He then got many other tryouts at other organizations, and also got offers from CFL teams, however in his tryouts he couldn't even beat out practice squad QBs. You got to remember tebow has terrible throwing mechanics, is bad at making QB reads, and struggles running pro style offenses. Instead of him further working on becoming better at his shortcomings, he gave up and became an analyst.
RIP Demaryius Thomas. What a legend
The Jets squandered Tebow.
the jets squander everybody
They didn’t even give him a chance
@@someguy1515 has a jets fan I agree. End my suffering
I was at this game. It was insane, gives me chills every time.
I've watched a lot of Bronco games over the years, and the crowd reaction is a Top 5 one, easy. I don't think a lot of people, even Bronco fans, really appreciate how toxic the team's relationship with the fans had become during the Little Joshie McHoodie era, and how critical Tebow's run that season was towards getting a lot of that goodwill back. DT's run at the end of that game was a cathartic experience.
Tim Tebow, I feel, is in the top 5 of NCAA football players, EVER! Such greatness and winning ability, just didn’t translate to the NFL. His rushing ability was no match against the NFL LBers.
Ouch, 12-4 steelers had to play on the road because the ravens won the division (also 12-4), and had to play a team that won their division, but was only 8-8. oof.
Even worse in my opinion were the 7-9 Seahawks hosting the 11-5 (I think) Saints. To host a game BELOW .500 is absurd.
@@toptenguy1 you forgot the part about the Saints being the defending champs. AND they lost that game to Seattle
A division winner that was .500 or worse has never lost their first playoff game in the current format.
That is actually true, I also remember San Diego beating the Colts. Crazy how important Home field really is.
2014 panthers went 7-8-1 and beat cardinals in the wildcard round, ironically they lost to the seahawks the next game.
2002 WCF Game 4
2016 NBA Finals Game 7
Super Bowl 42 or 49
2013 Iron Bowl
Nova Buzzer Beater
1986 World Series Game 6
2013 iron bowl for sure. Truly epic
Don’t forget Joe carter home run and blackhawks ot goal. My top three to do would be joe carter, nova, and kick six
2011 is better than all these
@@elandtee4398 yeah, but so many others have asked for it, I thought about other ones that may not be talked about as much
97 World Series
Well, he didnt prove the doubters right... he just didnt get a chance to play after that
Tebow was basically a proto aaron rodgers, and look how many people say Rodgers is the GOAT.
@@thehitomiboy7379 people say that?
@@EvanSchatz yes. Quite a few do
@@thehitomiboy7379 I don't understand how they would think that - he's not even the GOAT in his franchise
@@thehitomiboy7379 If Aaron Rodgers had a 45% completion rating, one of the worst throwing motions in NFL history, and a noodle arm then I would agree with you.
I call that Broncos/Bears game the "Marion Barber Game." You know, the one the Bears would've clinched had Marion Barber not run out of bounds at the end of regulation to prevent the Bears from running out the clock, nor had Barber fumbled in OT when the Bears were in FG range. Seriously, when you consider some of the crazy stuff like this, it makes those Tebow-led victories even more ridiculous.
The Marion Barber game is proof that God hates black people.
What Tebow lacked in form, he made up for with heart and physicality. It was so exciting watching him play. Ever since Manning retired the Broncos have had a revolving door at QB.
That Bears-Broncos absolutely destroyed me as a Bears fan. The whole week, I was seething at the idea Tebow would beat the Bears with his heroics. When the Broncos scored to make it 10-7 and the Bears got the ball back, I was incredibly uneasy even though it was still the Bears game to lose. Should've been over. Then Marion Barber ran out of bounds and I absolutely lost it. Total nervous breakdown. It was actually embarrassing, in hindsight. That was an absolutely wacky year.
Oh yeah, I remember that too🐻⬇️😱
I'll honestly never forget this moment in my life. Watching it live on TV was incredible.
I remember watching this game in the living room with my grandfather. We weren’t expecting a very competitive game and thought the Steelers would crush them by half.Especially since the broncos had lost three games in a row and it looked like Tebow time had run its course. One of the best playoff memories he passed away last year and moments like these help me remember where I was and what was said as we watched a crazy nfl game.
This is the first video I think where the recap wasn't enough and that you had to have lived through that time and watched the play unfold to truly feel the magic of it all
Spencer Honda that was a great season. I started by thinking how dumb McDaniels was for drafting him, then I started to believe. I loved Tebow Time. I was so disappointed when he was traded. There was something about that season that numbers and stats can’t tell. I still miss Tebow. He’s welcome at my fire anytime.
The most memorable season for me as a bronco fan.
over carolina superbowl??!? lol
@@SeahawkSTRIKE That "season" was up and down. Manning had retirement all over him. As for season I enjoyed the 11 and 13. As for moment 15 Superbowl romping was great
@@The505face Seriously? That 2015 season was awesome. Great defense and sketchy offense, started 7-0, then struggled to 10-4, won the last 2 games to miraculously win the 1 seed. Beat the Steelers and then defending Champ Patriots on a stopped 2pt conversion in the last few seconds to win, then crushed the 17-1 Panthers in the Superbowl after Elway chose to wear white as the home team and Von Miller dominated the game for MVP. That season was twice as fun as the 2011 Tebowmania season.
@@justinzinn7109 I agree it was great! Had 15 heartaches too haha
Not a broncos fan but love Tim Tebow and DT this game is legendary RIP DT
"He proved all the doubters right" No, he was playing in a new system that hasn't been successful for years. Tebow was underrated, in the Broncos system, it showed his true talents.
If new England couldn't revitalize his career, no one could.
His true talents = 8-8
@@nritsch He was 7-4 as a starter in the regular season. He was never going to be an elite QB, but he could have worked in the right system. Problem is that every NFL franchise wants the same thing and then wonder why there are only a few teams who can succeed.
You all know why you're here.
Lol 80 yards to the house on a slant. I remember watching this live 😂 the good ol days
I have no rooting interest in the Broncos and yet I was seeking out sketchy internet streams just to watch Tebow that season. TEBOW TIME was magic and it’s baffling that he never got another fair shot.
What? He got a shot in NY and Philly. He just wasn't good
If you don’t play is that a shot?
Tebow was a small part of the success that team had that year. He just received an oversized portion of the credit. That was Von Miller's first year and the team won when the D (Von Specifically) played well. The offense was exactly the same with Tebow as it was with Orton.
Delfont Beats no he didn’t. Rex Ryan had way too much draft capitol, fresh bonus money, and tattoo ink invested in Mark Sanchez (2 AFC Championship appearances certainly helped). Tebow was never getting that job (while Rex Ryan lost his). Then rank amateur Chip Kelly, even though Tebow had a 90.0 rating in the preseason, cut him, and then lost his job. No coach who ever actually started Tebow and stuck with him ever lost their job. That’s the OPPOSITE of failure.
Yea we all did. Saints fan here, but that tebow season was must see tv!
We finally need an NHL rewinder ( love the series btw) my choice would Patrick Kane's 2010 OT Stanley cup winning goal against the Flyers, but if not that, then I would suggest Brett Hull's contraversial 1999 Stanley cup winning goal.
We need more hockey videos on this channel, period. Like, I like basketball, baseball & football just fine, but the little runt of the Big Four needs some love too.
Flyers goal, joe carter home run, nova vs nc ending, kick six. Those are the ones I wanna see the most
That Kane highlight is garbage. Should have been an all time classic moment but only like 4 people in the world knew it went in.
Be a damn shame if they never do it
The 2013 season was much more iconic imo. Between the shortened season, the point streak, game 7 in the second round and the 2 goals in 17 seconds (one of them by the 4th line) to end the season
Of course Tebow is Episode 15.
I’m really banking on some NHL Rewinder episodes for the future - maybe Bobby Nystrom’s Cup-winning goal in 1980 or Uwe Krupp for Colorado in 1996?
Yzerman's OT winner against St. Louis in '96 could be a good one too.
Gretzky had it, lost it...
Benjamin Kassel he got traded to the jets the year after but i wouldnt say he proved the doubters right. He never even received a real chance to play qb there. They stashed him on the bench and moved him to TE. #Tebowmania
Boston Bruins Vs Montreal Canadiens
Game 7 2011?
Cyrus The Virus I’d prefer the 4-1 comeback for Boston. Or better yet, Boston’s 2010 ECSF collapse after being up 3-0 in two ways.
It wasn't a goddamned miracle! It was just...
...Tebow Time.
RIP DT. True Broncos Wr. You will get your recognition. We promise as Broncos fans. We love you and miss you dearly. I wish we had more time to Cherish and Apreciate you; but you were bigger than this world. We need to honor DT more!. Ring of Fame to start!.
Pleeeeease remember to do Beckham's freekick in 2002 at Old trafford to qualify england for the WC and absolve his 98 guilt
although it's not "the goal that shook the world" outside of england, yeah, it would make a great episode for this
they did one football video and can safely ignore that sport until next year
Few other soccer ideas:
Man U comeback in the UCL final against Bayern
Barca's 6-1 comeback in the UCL knockout round
Iniesta's goal in the world cup final
Denis Berkamp's goal against Argentina in 1998 world cup
Torres' goal against Barca in the UCL
I don't know what any of that means
@@lich5164four bro, the man united comeback against bayern and the iniesta goal are epic, tbh
One time i pooped my pants when i was grocery shopping
But how did we get here?.......LET'S REWIND
Maciej Nowakowski 😂😂🤣 Funniest comment I have read in a while
"Welcome, to a moment in history"
I'm sorry to tell you sir but you'll have to leave because you're stinky
yes cops this comment!
Demaryius thomas most underrated player in his prime 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Yeah if he could've stayed healthy and didn't drop so many passes he'd be elite
@@samjonas5494 he had a lot of drops,& inconsistency, for a very good, quasi elite wr. I still remember in 2015, when he was targeted like 15 times by Brock Osweiller vs New England,& had 1 catch. It wasn't all his fault. Malcom Butler played him great, Osweiller missed some throws, etc. But he get 's a big part of the blame. DT is a great guy,& very good wr. But never quite lived up to his freakish talent. He had Hall of Fame/best Broncos wr ever talent. He was the best wr in 2013..on the highest scoring offense ever,& Peyton had the best qb stats ever. But I don't think he's quite worthy of Hall of Fame. As a?Bronco fan, I'd be thrilled though, if he made it. Certainly not, as long as Rod Smith isn't in. Bronco ring of fame..absolutely. 2nd best Bronco WR I've ever seen since I've been old enough to understand football, since about 1984..probably. Tough to compare eras,& Terrell Davis had like 3,800 yds rushing in 1997,& 1998. Broncos threw it all over the lot in 2013. But Smith was a far better blocker,(other than Hines Ward, the best blocking WR, I've seen..for an elite WR) more consistent,& tougher. I think DT was real good, but he was a bit soft at times-mentally,& physically..or maybe fragile would be a more fair term. I do know this, DT had more ability than Emanuel Sanders,& almost always had more catches/yards. But if it was 3rd,& 9 in the clutch...& you needed somebody to make a tough catch over the middle..I'm trusting Sanders more every time. DT made a lot of big catches, not saying he was a pu#&y, or unreliable. But I think if you gave him truth serum, Peyton would agree. Keep in mind, Sanders was in Pittsburgh during our record setting offensive season. He replaced Eric Decker in 2014, along with Talib, Demarcus Ware,& TJ Ward who showed up to shore up the defense.
Ironically the 2015 offense was an abject disaster, but we won SB 50. Greatest statistical offense ever in 2013, got murdered in SB 48. (but at least Champ Bailey got to play in 1, before retiring)
Obviously, the defense,& special teams were the reason why 2015 won it all.(& lady lucky on our side, in several regular season games) 2013 team also was decimated by injuries, while Seattle had great health. Ryan Clady-our stud left tackle, Von Miller, Chris Harris Jr,& Derrick Wolfe all missed SB 48. There were others, that's off the top of my head. Von, Harris,& Wolffe were all huge contributors 2 yrs later-to 1 of the great defenses of All time. But DT was a no show in the 2015 playoffs. Again, not all his fault-Peyton was almost done physically,& that might have been the worst SB oline EVER! He set a SB record for catches in SB 48. But a lot of empty, prevent defense fueled stats in a 43-8 beat down.
Living in the Denver area during this time was surreal. Everyone looked up to Tebow as a local legend, along with the rest of the Broncos, and I even remember "Tebowing" becoming a thing for a while. It's funny now that most people dislike Tebow and have completely moved on after he left. Now everyone only remembers the Manning days.
I will never understand why he didn't get a chance in Cleveland or somewhere like that
he did get signed to the jets,and was actually ok but he got cut and then got signed by both patriots and eagles but couldnt keep a roster spot,to bad something like the xfl wasnt around during his playing time
God would never allow Tebow to sign with the forsaken Browns
G3ese The Browns tried everything else lol it's not like he could have done worse. He would have been cheap, he would get people to go to their games, and he couldnt be any worse than what they had. I dont really see a downside
G3ese at the time this was all happening that's exactly how I felt lol. But then I'm sitting at a minor league baseball game, Tim Tebow comes up to bat, is in perfect shape, gets a hit and looks fast on the base path....meanwhile the Browns had just gone 3-13 without a QB in waiting or a QB they were for sure getting, and I thought "why the hell not?" He could not do any worse....the Brown's QB stats were already bad and they were losing, Tebow's stats were awful when he played, and he won a playoff game. He'd have been cheap, he'd have got people to the games, he would have gotten people talking about something other than the Browns record....I just didn't see a downside. I mean why not last year? After 3 games you knew Keizer wasn't the guy. Doesn't matter now though! Baker Mayfield is the dude! I dont know any Browns fans so let me ask you
Do you want Mayfield to start right away or are you cool with Tyrod Taylor starting while Mayfield sits and learns?
The media circus Tebow brought where ever he went basically ran him out of the NFL. The media killed his NFL career. Say what you will about his play but with the right coach could have been coached up to become a better QB. Honestly, you could say he has as much of a case for being black balled by the NFL as Kaepernick does.
T-T-T-T-Tebow Time!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻
I won't stop asking for the 2011 49ers Saints "The Catch III" until we get it.
I love these. Keep up the good work.
who ever came up with this Idea was a genious. everything about this series is appealing, it's funny because I'm a huge sports fan and I know how 90% of these games end but it's still always keeps me on the edge of my seat. the only thing is I still can't believe that Pats vs Seahawks Superbowl ain't on here
Ill take Tebow with the game on the line over case keenum paxton lynch brock osweiler, hes a better football player than all 3 combined
That's a pretty low bar, but he was a fluke. A one trick pony. Running QBs always start fast, then the league catches up to them, and if they can't throw, they are done.
@@broncojuan , I disagree. He wasn't given the opportunity to develop and succeed. You have a guy with 16 games started, 17 touchdowns, 9 picks, a career 8-6 regular season record, 5 comebacks in the 4th quarter and a playoff win against the defending conference champions. He was better than Trent Dilfer when the Ravens won a Super Bowl, and he had a chance to improve a whole lot. Some guys just find ways to compete, and Tebow stuck me as one of those guys. He probably should have gone to the CFL and proven himself there. I don't know if he would have become the next Kurt Warner or Jeff Garcia, but I think he would have developed into a top 15 QB.
@@sebclot9478 Again, he could not throw. His completion percentage is somewhere under 50%. The guy couldn't throw a 5 yard out. He also couldn't read defenses, or check down when his first option was covered, and showed no improvement in those areas in 2 years, not even a little. In fact, some say he got worse. That aspect of the game was too fast for him. So he would tuck and run when option 1 wasn't there. Thus rendering 2-4 players pointless every play. He caught opposing teams of guard with his erratic style of play, but NFL defenses will always catch up to that. He would have been a great FB or maybe a TE (I don't know if he can catch).
@@broncojuan, Impressive conclusions to draw from only 16 career starts. And yet, he threw 17 Touchdowns to 9 Interceptions, had a winning record, had 5 fourth quarter comebacks, and won a playoff game against the defending conference champs. I don't care what you think of his completion percentage or his ability to read defense. I care that he was able to deliver. His 2011 was better than any season Vince Young put up, and Young played 6 seasons and started 50 games. This nonsense is why there are so many bad teams in the NFL.
@@sebclot9478 Completion percentage is by far the most important individual stat mentioned. The team won that year when the young, but talented, defense (Von Miller's first year) played well. The Offense was good for about 20 a game, and the running game was, by far, the strength of the team (you know, where Tebow was actually a solid player). They were second to last in passing offense in 2011. They rarely scored if they had long field, and were wholly dependent of the defense scoring, or giving them a short field if they were going to win. His 120ish yards passing per game is one of the most pathetic stats I've ever witnessed. He delivered nothing as a QB, his "W-L record" (a team stat BTW) rode the coattails of the Defense, the running game, and about 7-8 incredible plays by Demaryius Thomas. His WRs ( and most of the team) didn't want anything to do with him, and his nuts fan base made his being on any team a much bigger distraction than he was ever going to be worth (he would need to put up Payton Manning numbers to make it worth putting up with those wackos). He was a great addition to the running game (#1 rushing team in the league that year), but he couldn't throw, period. As for Vince Young, I called that bust when he was drafted. He was still a better QB than Tebow, but just barely (more total yards passing, and a much higher completion percentage, few more pics but they didn't really mean anything), but if I had to pick one, I'd pass.
Why is this man not in more shows?
Tony Thepenguin because Jon Bois

As a Steelers fan, I believe I'll skip this one.

I can't believe as an SC fan and a Steelers fan I watched both. I got my tissues tho

Lawrence Fox still salty that you probably have had the most talented team in the league and still havent made a super bowl since 😂😂😂

Forrest Hassell
I was with my 2 aunts and my cousin watching the game we all went crazy when that play happened then took a pic together in our Broncos gear good times
I’m still a believer in Tebow Time
Tim Tebow constantly paid homage to God. The higher ups in this life couldnt let him have the spotlight.
Mario Freddrick he wasn’t any good
LLDT🧡💙 thia play was my childhood. I love you DT. I hope you flourish
WE LIKE SPORTS AND WE DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS
I dont normally leave comments or subscribe to channels, but this series is exceptional. It is put together so nicely. You all really deserve a lot of credit. Very well done!

Was never much of a tebow guy. But as a ravens fan this game holds a special place in my heart. I laughed myself silly watching that OT play happen
This was right before Peyton fans said "Manning MADE Demaryius!!!"
Love this series, the narrative you guys weave is really something else. I'd love to see Russell Martin in the 2013 NL Wild Card Game, such a nutty moment for such a sad franchise.
Life’s pretty good. New job in a new city. Had cake for breakfast the last three days
Chris D'Avanzo congrats man! Glad you’re happy
Congrats bud
Thats lit bro, keep killing that job👊👊

Congrats big dog, moving to a new city is a dope restart
I remember watching this whole season with my pops. A great time. Nfl is a shell of what it used to be.
Anyone else think of that Skip Bayless meme/song whenever they hear Tebow?
First Denver Broncos moment to bring me to tears! Aaron Hernandez went insane the following weekend though so... that was the end of that run. But what a run though.
Tebow is still one of the clutchest QBs ever. Although his teams were normally losing to badly to give him a chance to clutch it.
DougH a lot of the reason his teams would get behind was partially his fault, though.
Yeah one of those games he helped them come back from he literally didn't complete a single pass until the third quarter.
That same supposedly garbage team went 13-3 the next year when they got a good QB under center. Orton may have sucked but acting like the team was somehow the one dragging Tebow down is just a weak copout.
It's almost as if receivers tend to play better under a good system and QB. If you're talking about Tebow's year, it appears the Browns led that category by a landslide and dropped passes don't account for completing less than half of his passes with Broncos.
Carried the Colts? Yeah I mean he only had two HOF receivers and one of the best running backs in the league while in Indy but yeah he might as well have been there by himself.
Never a Tebow fan, but always grateful for Tebow316. That game was one of my favorites ever, just for the sheer excitement it gave.
Why must you hurt me like this SB Nation? Why?
This is one of my favorite moments in sports
RIP DT
That was a good video. Goosebumps at the end there.
Prater was a beast, it sucks we released him
HE CAN’T... STAY OFF.... THE WEED-DAH
Can confirm that Prater is still a beast.
Was at that game and every Broncos game. Classic. Go Broncos!!

Chuck Boris please not 2011 World Series, I don’t need to drive that
I loved this season ... TEBOW just wins...
Rip DT 🕊
MAD props for bringing up the Ryan Clark injury, and all the other steeler injuries. Many people forget/dont know.
Sincerely,
A still very pissed steelers fan
Jim Thomas eh whatever his replacement did fine even forced a fumble. Footballs a game of injuries. Pitt was the #1 defense and got torched by timmy
@@cubswincubswinao But like what would have happened if they rolled in their healthy? sports are inherently a game of what ifs. Also, lets not forget the awful NFL playoff system that forced the 12-4 steelers to play on the road in this game anyways.
Tebow did NOT "prove the doubters right" when he was sent to the Jets. He never was given much of a chance to play... with the hapless Jets! BTW... He was 75% completion with the Jets; he also played FB &TE there, with 32 carries in a mere 2 games before being dumped... by the 6-10 Jets in 2012..
liked everything about this video except that "prove the doubters right" tag at the end.
Um if you can't win a QB battle against Mark Sanchez who threw only 13 touchdowns all year you don't deserve to start.
I was working in a bar literally across the street from what used to be Sports Authority field during that season. The most fun I have ever had as a sports fan, especially that shocker over the Bears. That said, was so happy to see Tebow go.
Tebow was good tho😂 he just didn’t have a chance after he was traded bc he was the backup on both the jets and pats
One of the worse days of my life as a Steelers fan it was hard to suck that loss up and till this day I still can't get over how we loss that game which we could've won.
Not enough Jon Bois........
Where is my BOIS?!?!?!??!?!!??!
Don't rush the man, his videos take loads of effort.
Really miss this era of football. RIP Demaryius Thomas
*REWIND T.O.'s DRIVEWAY WORKOUT*
One of the most exciting finishes to a game that I've ever seen. The fact that it was Tebow and that the game was in Denver made it a magical moment. It was complete bedlam at the stadium.
Man.
The NFL had no idea how to deal with Tebow juggernaut.
It was two phenomenons at once - the NFL...and Tebow.
Can't have them both!
One had to go.
Tim Tebow has more athletic ability than 90 percent of players in the NFL and has used it to overcome the skill set of a mid-level CFL player.
2010 NHL REGULAR SEASON FINALE- RANGERS vs FLYERS
Bobandy that actually would be a really good one even though I don't like either of those teams lol
neither do I...that game turned into the flyers amazing playoff run (3-0 comeback). I'm a big Boucher fan
I watched this game at a bar in Denver and it was absolutely electronic when Thomas caught that ball in ot
who’s here after the news about demaryius thomas 😔
As a steelers fan, being 10 years old at the time, i remember crying after this game. Good memories.
This game still breaks my heart. Along with Gary Anderson and Blair Walsh’s missed kicks. I hope Pitt can finally get their defense back and I hope the Vikings finally win the SB.
Ooooof that Blair Walsh kick... How about in 2009 against the saint's we should of won easily
Not with cousins and that's coming from a redskin fan cousins will look great one game and then he will play the most horrible game the next he chokes on primetime television and division games he won't show up for those when you need him to. One thing a bout Alex Smith he had us a 6 and 3 and he only played to division games before he got hurt one both of them back. To back games had us in first over the cowboys and eagles we were a couple of games ahead of them then he got hurt so I would of like to seen what we would of did last year and what we would of did this year if Smith would of stayed healthy
Tebow's improbable run to the playoffs is where the meat of this video should have been
Do the lebron block of 2016 in the finals
I second that
N_ Finnese23 I would argue do it on the love stop. Not that the block wasn’t amazing-it was-but that there were so many little things so that everyone in the world knew steph was just going for 3 and wouldn’t go for 2, even though he could have gone by love
more like kyrie 3
THIS, clutch offensive plays are a dime a dozen. Guys like LeBron, Irving, Durant shoot daggers all the time but clutch game saving defensive plays are so rare.
How about his block on splitter?
Came back to this very video to say the Wide Receiver who caught the miraculous touchdown, Demaryius Thomas, has passed away at the age of 33. RIP 🙏
Are we gonna see Johnny Wilkinson’s drop goal?
Tebow has as many playoff wins in that one season as the Lions have in the last 60+ years.
Life is going great! I’m in a relationship and in grad school and loving every minute of it. Thanks for asking!
Michael Cali congratulations brother
Living the dream in Denver. Tebow was the Chosen One for one miraculous season....And, then there was MANNING!
You should rewind the NHL and do The Toronto Maple Leafs collapse to the Boston Bruins in the 2013 playoffs.
nah
It was 4-1!
As a leafs fan, no
With the Steelers injuries I wasn’t surprised the Steelers lost this game. But I remember being heartbroken on that last possession in regular time and the way they won on the first play in OT. I still obviously wanted my Steelers to lose but without pouncey, Clark, and mendenhall the game was a hard fought battle. Isaac redman was a big boy and a beast running up the middle. Sad game for a Steelers but understandable given the circumstances of Steelers health.
The 2008 NCAA men’s basketball championship.
RIP DT. Rest up in heaven my guy 💔
"He proved all the doubters right"?
Um... on the one hand, yeah, Tebow was a shitty QB.
On the other hand... The team was 1-4 without him. They traded away their best WR (didn't he finish #1 overall in yards) Brandon Lloyd and switched QBs (from an undeniably NFL-starting-caliber Kyle Orton to Tebow)... and they went 7-4.
...and then beat the Steelers in the playoffs... in OT.
Tebow wasn't a good QB.. but he was definitely underrated. They traded away their best WR, one of the best in the league, and "downgraded" from Orton to Tebow... and turned from 1-4 to a playoff winner.
C'mon.
Let's not like like stats tell 100% of the story.
Really man, this dude hating on tebow didn't even do all the research for his tenure for the Jets. He was only used for the Wildcat plays and everyone knew that meant he was going to run it when he came in. Then when Sanchez proved to be a horrible QB Rex skipped over tebow n went to the 3rd string QB to start instead. The poor guy got screwed out of his NFL career.
The 'proved the doubters right' was a real letdown. They researched the entire episode well and then couldn't do a cursory search on what happened with the Jets? Also, Tebow should've went to Jax that next season, Ryan was never going to give him a chance.
Perfectly put!
Tebow also had the highest QBR of any QB that year in the 4th quarter, and the team put together the 2nd best running performance over an 8 week period in NFL history.
His flaws were huge, but so were his unique strengths. If given support it is not hard to imagine that he could have improved his horrendous short passing to an acceptable level, and that could have made him a top tier.
This Tebow kid was quite special:
Fastest player in NFL history to six game-winning drives
Most passing yards in a playoff debut in NFL history
Highest passer rating of any Broncos QB ever in a playoff game
Only NFL QB to ever to complete four passes of 30 yards or more in a single quarter of an NFL playoff game, with 51, 30, 58, & 40.
Most yards per attempt in a playoff game
Most yards per completion in a playoff game and fewest passes to 300+ yards in any NFL game
Only quarterback in NFL history to throw three 50+ yard passes in a playoff game
Longest touchdown pass in NFL playoff history in overtime in the shortest overtime winning play in history
13+ Point Fourth-Quarter Comebacks - reached Elway’s career total by his 4th start
Tripled the win rate over his predecessor
Only QB ever drafted by Broncos to win a playoff game for us
First QB in NFL history to throw and run for a TD in his first 3 starts
Record for Longest rushing TD by a Broncos QB ever set in his first start
Largest comeback win in Broncos history (later surpassed by Manning) set in his 2nd start
Largest comeback in NFL history within the last 3 minutes set in his 4th start
Lucus Trout as someone from Jacksonville, the stadium would have been full every game if we got Tebow as he was a Florida legend to everyone except Tallahassee. The rumor was we didn’t want Tebow because there was talks of Jaguars moving to another city. Then we got bought by mister mustache himself shad Kahn and here we sit today. Worth the wait.
Tebow didn't make it as an NFL QB, he had a few good games but he just didn't have the skill necessary to lead a team. I don't know what the allure was with this guy, he got more chances then most tweener QB's and just didn't have it.
Yzerman goal against St.Louis in 96! Theres so much to it, the blues playing with a back up goalie, the insane save that was a minute before on fedorov not to mention all the backdrop of the red wings franchise.
Nobody :
Skip : "This makes tim Tebow a first ballot hall of famer"
I would LOVE to see a Deep Rewind on the final moments in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series. The Cardinals being down to their final strike 3 times leading up to the David Freese walk-off home run is definitely deserving of a video. That is the greatest sports moment I’ve ever witnessed and I’m man enough to admit that it made me cry when it happened. The home run itself coupled with the call from Joe Buck where he quoted the call that his father made for the dodgers in the 80s after his father had literally just passed away gets me every time. It’s such a great moment all around. I would love to see a video on it some day.
*Rewind Jeter's last play.*
Let’s go I remember watching this game big broncos fan thx for uploading this video keep the series going
