5 Biggest Plays: No. 4 - Tim Tebow to Demaryius Thomas for 39 yards
Tim Tebow's favorite target has quickly become Demaryius Thomas.
Yet again, last week the Denver Broncos burned repetitively the cornerbacks of the Pittsburgh Steelers with this deep threat from Tebow to Thomas. People are calling this connection TNT!
In this play, Thomas found the open zone coverage on a nicely designed play that has Eric Decker take the safety deep while Thomas squats behind the secondary for an easy catch.
TNT has to be explosive this week against the weak secondary of the New England Patriots.

How Tebow and His Helpers Beat Man Coverage - NYTimes.com
How Tebow and His Helpers Beat Man Coverage - NYTimes.com:
Andy Benoit writes: "In his biggest game as a pro, Tebow disproved (at least temporarily) his legions of naysayers by connecting on throws against man coverage. That’s what all the experts – including, apparently, the Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau – decided he couldn’t do. Don’t blame the experts. They were simply going by what they’d seen on film the past two weeks. Credit Tebow for finally “pulling the trigger” and playing with pocket poise against the Steelers’ intentionally soft pass rush. More than that, credit his offensive coordinator, Mike McCoy, and top receiver, Demaryius Thomas.
McCoy designed some very shrewd routes against the Steelers’ coverages. Instead of going with the tight bunches and myriad crossing patterns that most coaches use to beat man coverage, he went with a barrage of outside fly routes. Those patterns ensured one-on-one coverage – as safety help is irrelevant outside in man coverage – and allowed Tebow to heave the ball downfield rather than make precise, timing-based throws to moving targets through tight windows. When McCoy did go to crossing routes, he put in wrinkles like fly patterns up the seams off the crosses or deep hooks on the outside. The idea was to use Troy Polamalu’s aggressive decision-making against him. It worked masterfully."
Great analysis of the playcalling by Mike McCoy and creativity invoked to upset the Pittsburgh Steelers

Favorite Denver Broncos Quotes Following Victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers
These are my favorite Denver Broncos quotes after Sunday's victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers:
Demaryius Thomas: On Josh McDaniels on the sidelines for the New England Patriots next week - "That's going to be strange. He drafted me and Tim."
Tim Tebow: After the Broncos-Patriots game during the regular season, Tom Brady met Tebow at the 50-yard line after the game and said, "We'll see you again." Tebow said after the victory over the Steelers, "I guess he's a prophet."

Over and out: Steelers ousted in wild one
Over and out: Steelers ousted in wild one:
Ed Bouchette, writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette breaks down the playoff game with the Denver Broncos: "The Steelers never saw it coming, a 29-23 overtime dart fired by Tebow and the heavily underdog Broncos to quickly end the reign of the 2010 AFC champions.
'We felt we had a good grasp of what they would try to do to us,' linebacker James Farrior said. 'They made more plays than we thought they were capable of making.
'We really hadn't seen that out of him on tape.'"
The Steelers were shell-shocked after the 80-yard touchdown in overtime in which Demaryius Thomas burnt Ike Taylor in a foot race to the end zone. It is arguably one of the best touchdowns of the season for the Denver Broncos.

Steelers lost by underestimating Tebow - AFC North Blog - ESPN
Steelers lost by underestimating Tebow - AFC North Blog - ESPN:
ESPN AFC North Blogger writes: "The heavily favored Steelers were upset by the Broncos because they underestimated Tim Tebow. Pittsburgh dared the struggling quarterback to beat the NFL's top-ranked defense by throwing deep, and he did it again and again.
The Steelers were gashed by Tebow for 20 points in a near record-setting second quarter. The defending AFC champions were knocked unceremoniously out of the playoffs on the first play of overtime by the arm of Tebow.
Pittsburgh wasn't just undone by another dramatic Tebow finish. The Steelers were punched in the gut because they believed Tebow couldn't beat them throwing the ball and they paid for it."
The Broncos overcame an overconfident Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs by executing a great game plan and beating man-to-man coverage. It was an amazing game!
