Tim Tebow proves he's the best awful QB in NFL history thanks to win over Jets (VIDEOS)
It's gotten to the point where it's funny, at least for Broncos fans. Denver's 17-13 win over the Jets will no doubt boost sales of those Tim Tebow Jesus jerseys, as well as more comparisons between The Chosen One and His Lord and Savior, and that's understandable. After all, JC's well known for raising the dead, and lately, Tebow has been doing the same thing every damn week. But unlike his Idol, Tebow was responsible for nearly killing the body in the first place.
Post-TD Tebowing.
Again last night, Tebow was at his most competent during the first series of the game -- he completed three passes! out of nine total! -- and the last, when he willed the Broncos to a winning score thanks to the power of his feet and his crazy nerve. But in between, the squad's offense was so jaw-droppingly inept that it physically hurt to witness; I had more fun watching Melancholia.

But as in the three Denver victories (over Miami, Oakland and Kansas City) that preceded the contest, the D demonstrated a bracing toughness exemplified by super-rookie Von Miller, who is looking like a freaking draft steal at this point. And that pick six by Andre Goodman didn't hurt matters, either.
Still, much of the fun for NFL Network viewers in this time zone came after the final whistle blew. First, Tebow walked away from reporters and correspondents to join a giant prayer circle that included players from both teams. Next, he kept the net's gaggle of commentators waiting while he casually strolled around the field, signing autographs. And when he finally sat down with Rich Eisen, Marshall Faulk, Michael Irvin, Steve Mariucci and Deion Sanders, he found himself barraged by questions along the lines of...
