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!
