What a fantastic game.
Young, exciting, compelling players on both side of the ball, with Percy Harvin & Joe Webb lining up all over the place and making plays, Christian Ponder throwing for 380 yards, and of course, Tebow.
Tebow was nothing short of spectacular. What was great about Tebow on this day, was the fact that he only ran the ball four times. Minnesota shut down the Denver run attack early, and challenged Tebow to win with his arm. Tebow made big throw after big throw in the second half, many under pressure or while escaping the rush. When Minnesota badly blew two coverages, Tebow delivered two gorgeous passes, one for a TD, and another for a huge gain at the end of regulation which led to the tie.
And was there really and doubtn that Tebow was going to convert the game tying 2-pt conversion? The two most dangerous red zone QB's in the league are Cam Newton & Tebow.
I loved the way Minnesota was using Harvin & Webb. Ponder had his way with Denver, who were without Von Miller, and Tebow kept the pace, completely blowing up the flawed idea that the offense was too limited under his direction to win when allowing more than 20 points.
Easily the best game I've seen all year, exciting from gun to gun with fun to watch young players and exciting big plays.
