Tim Tebow Finishes 1st Half With Impressive Showing

Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos took over their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second quarter, reversing the poor showing they had during the regular season. After not completing a pass at all in the first quarter, Tebow went 5-of-11 for 185 yards and a touchdown pass. Sure, he hasn't completed over 50 percent of his passes, but when he's completing passes like this to Daniel Fells, does it matter?

That was a 40-yard strike to Daniel Fells. He also had a career-long pass of 57 yards to Demaryius Thomas a little while after he found him for 51 yards. And Eddie Royal caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Tebow as well.

Tim Tebow and the playoffs are quite agreeable.
