Yep, Tim Tebow and the Broncos are in the playoffs, and each day this week, to get you ready for Saturday's showdown with the New England Patriots, we're going to put real fans to the test with brain teasers from the Denver Broncos Trivia Game (the 1985 version, which I just found at a local antique mall). Warning: They're super-tough, just like the Broncos will need to be. Look below for our third batch of questions, then flip the page for answers.

Pete Liske threw a touchdown to Mike Haffner against the world champion Jets in '69.

It was in the south end zone. Haffner was diving, parallel to the ground, and caught the back half of the ball.

The catch was so impressive it made the Johnny Carson show the next week.

Denver won, 21-19.

Liske went on to be an NFL official.

I remember that game, Eric. It gave a kid hope that even though the team's record as a whole was awful, things might someday get better. Thanks for the post.
