Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,Game Recaps,General,The Playoffs by admin on Sunday 15 January 2012 at 5:18 am

The Broncos never had much of a change tonight against the Patriots.  Tim Tebow had a night to forget as he only completed 9 of 26 passes for 136 yards without a TD pass or INT.  He also carried the ball 5 times for 13 yards (2.6 ypc) tonight.  Willis McGahee led the way on the ground for the Broncos tonight with 76 yards rushing on 17 carries (4.5 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Lance Ball pitched in with 44 yards rushing on 13 carries (3.4 ypc) in this game.  WR Demaryius Thomas led the way in the passing game for the Broncos with 6 grabs for 93 yards (15.5 avg).  The Broncos finished up with 144 yards rushing on 40 carries (3.6 ypc) and they also completed 9 of 26 passes (34.6%) for 108 yards as they had possession of the ball for 33:23.

The defense was just plain awful for the Broncos tonight.  LB Joe Mays (9 tackles, 1 pass defensed), CB Chris Harris (8 tackles), safety Rafael Bush (8 tackles) and LB D.J. Williams (8 tackles) led the way for the Broncos on D in this game.  Safety Quinton Carter (5 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception) and DT Marcus Thomas (4 tackles and 1 fumble recovery) also pitched in for the Broncos.  The Patriots finished up with 146 yards rushing on 30 carries (4.9 ypc) and they also completed 26 of 34 passes (76.5%) for 363 yards in this game.  The Broncos’ season ended with a thud but no one could have expected Tim Tebow to lead his team not only to the playoffs, but to beat the Steelers in the first round.

The Broncos raced out to a 20-6 halftime lead in this game, but, the Steelers tied it up in the second half and sent it to O.T.  That is when Tim Tebow’s magic really came alive.  The Broncos won the coin toss in O.T. and on the first play, Tim Tebow threw a bomb to WR Demaryius Thomas who flicked Steelers’ CB Ike Taylor away like a mosquito on his way to a game winning 80 yard TD catch!

Tim Tebow completed 10 of 21 passes for 316 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 10 times for 50 yards (5.0 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Willis McGahee led the way on the ground for the Broncos in this game with 61 yards rushing on 19 carries (3.2 ypc), but he lost a fumble.  WR Demaryius Thomas had an utterly amazing game as he caught 4 passes for 204 yards (51.0 avg) with the game winning 80 yard TD catch in O.T.  TE Daniel Fells (2 rec, 57 yards) and WR Eddie Royal (3 rec, 49 yards, TD) also pitched in for the Broncos in the passing game.  The Broncos finished up with 131 yards rushing on 34 carries (3.9 ypc) and they also completed 10 of 21 passes (47.6%) for 316 yards as they had possession of the ball for 29:05.

The Broncos gave up a lot of yards yesterday but they made big plays when they had to.  The Broncos had 5 sacks in this game as they were all over Ben Roethlisberger.  Safety David Bruton (8 tackles and 1 pass defensed), LB Joe Mays (6 tackles) and safety Quinton Carter (5 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception) led the way for the Broncos in this game.  The Steelers finished up with 156 yards rushing on 23 carries (6.8 ypc) and they also completed 22 of 40 passes (55%) for 244 yards.  The Broncos are know heading to Foxboro, Massachusetts for a date with the New England Patriots next weekend.

The Broncos’ D played good enough yesterday to set up Tim Tebow and the offense for another miracle.  The Broncos were losing 10-0 in this game, when they shifted gears on offense.  They scored 10 points in the last 4:34 of this game as Matt Prater tied the game on the last play of regulation with a 59-yard field goal.  He then nailed a 51-yard game winning field goal in overtime.  Tim Tebow struggled really bad for three quarters before stepping up his game.  Tebow completed 21 of 40 passes for 236 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  He also led the Broncos in rushing with 49 yards on 12 carries (4.1 ypc).  Willis McGahee had a rough time with 17 carries for only 34 yards (2.0 ypc) for the Broncos in this game.  Lance Ball only ran the ball 1 time for 13 yards but he also caught 4 passes for 37 yards.  WRs Demaryius Thomas (7 rec, 78 yards, TD), Matt Willis (4 rec, 75 yards) and Eric Decker (3 rec, 33 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Broncos.  The Broncos finished up with 124 yards rushing on 34 carries (3.6 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 40 passes (52.5%) for 221 yards in this game as they had possession of the ball for 34:39.

CB Andre Goodman picked off a pass late in the 4th quarter with the game tied at 32 points apiece.  The offense then set up kicker Matt Prater for the game winning 23-yard field goal as time expired to give the Broncos another outstanding win!  Tim Tebow was very solid throwing the ball in this game as he completed 10 of 15 passes for 202 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 13 yards (3.3 ypc) in this game.  Willis McGahee led the way on the ground for the Broncos in this game with 111 yards rushing on 20 carries (5.6 ypc) with 1 TD run.  But, he was tackled in the end zone early in this game by Vikings’ DE Jared Allen, giving the Vikings a safety.  Lance Ball pitched in with 7 carries for 25 yards (3.6 ypc) and 2 catches for 14 yards (7.0 avg).  WR Demaryius Thomas led the way through the air for the Broncos in this game with 4 grabs for 144 yards (36.0 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  The Broncos finished up with 150 yards rushing on 32 carries (4.7 ypc) and they also completed 10 of 15 passes (66.7%) for 186 yards as they only had possession of the ball for 22:09 in this game.

The defense made some big plays in this game, but they also gave up a ton of yards and a lot of points.  LB Mario Haggan led the way for the Broncos in this game with 12 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, 1 pass defensed and a interception that he returned 16 yards for a TD.  LB D.J. Williams (9 tackles) and CB Andre Goodman (7 tackles, 2 passes defensed and 1 interception) also had solid games for the Broncos on D today.  DE Jason Hunter pitched in with a fumble recovery for the Broncos.  The Vikings finished up with 129 yards rushing on 30 carries (4.3 ypc) and they also completed 30 of 48 passes (62.5%) for 360 yards in this game.  The Broncos are now 7-5 on the season.

The Broncos got a little lucky when Nick Novak of the Chargers missed a 53-yard field goal late in O.T. to set up Tim Tebow and his gang to work their magic.  Matt Prater then connected on a 37-yard field goal with only 29 seconds left in the overtime period to give the Broncos another hard fought road win.  Tim Tebow completed 9 of 18 passes for 143 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs in this game.  He also carried the ball 22 times for 67 yards (3.0 ypc) today.  Willis McGahee led the way on the ground for the Broncos with 23 carries for 117 yards (5.1 ypc).  He had a huge run in O.T. to set up the game winning FG for the Broncos.  WR Eric Decker led the way in the passing game for the Broncos with 3 grabs for 65 yards (21.7 avg) with a TD.  The Broncos finished up with 208 yards rushing on 51 carries (4.1 ypc) and they also completed 9 of 18 passes (50%) for 141 yards as they had possession of the ball with 37:08.

The defense was solid against the pass but awful against the run today.  LBs D.J. Williams (12 tackles) and Von Miller (10 tackles, 1 sack, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 pass defensed and 1 QB hit) led the way for the Broncos today.  DE Elvis Dumervil was also solid today with 5 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 tackles for a loss and 2 QB hits.  The Chargers finished up with 185 yards rushing on 36 carries (5.1 ypc) and they also completed 19 of 36 passes (52.8%) for 159 yards in this game.  The Broncos are now 6-5 on the year.

The Broncos didn’t do anything offensively until the last time they had the ball, and that’s when the magic started.  The Broncos took the ball over down 13-10 at their own five yard line with 5:54 left in the game.  That’s when Tim Tebow led the Broncos on a 12-play, 95 yard TD drive that took up 4:56, leaving the Jets with only 58 seconds….in which they did nothing!  Tim Tebow completed 9 of 20 passes for 104 yards last night without a TD pass or INT.  He also carried the ball 8 times for 68 yards (8.5 ypc) with 1 TD run.  His TD run was the game-winning 20 yarder to cap off the Broncos’ last drive of the game.  Willis McGahee didn’t do much in this game as he carried the ball 12 times for 18 yards (1.5 ypc).  Lance Ball pitched in with 5 carries for 18 yards (3.6 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 26 yards (13.0 avg).  WRs Demaryius Thomas (2 rec, 37 yards) and Eddie Royal (3 rec, 15 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Broncos last night.  The Broncos finished up with 125 yards rushing on 34 carries (3.7 ypc) and they also completed 9 of 21 passes (42.9%) for 104 yards as they had possession of the ball for 27:48.

The defense was very solid for the Broncos last night.  OLB Von Miller was a beast last night with 10 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 3 tackles for a loss, 4 QB hits and 1 pass defensed!  LB Wesley Woodyard pitched in with 8 tackles in this game.  CB Andre Goodman (3 tackles, 2 passes defensed and a interception that he returned 26 yards for a TD) and DE Elvis Dumervil (3 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 1 tackle for a loss and 2 QB hits) also made big plays for the Broncos last night.  CB Cassius Vaughn pitched in with a fumble recovery in this game.  The Jets finished up with 83 yards rushing on 28 carries (3.0 ypc) and they also completed 24 of 40 passes (60%) for 235 yards.  The Broncos are right in the thick of things in the AFC West with a 5-5 record now.
