The Broncos had lost four out of five games when Tebow took over as starting quarterback toward the beginning of the 2011 season, and soon the young rushing miracle was leading his team to a winning record.
When the Sunday evening game statistics were totaled, several stats jumped out to his fans that almost defy coincidence. Tebow had 316 total passing yards, as well as averaging 31.6 yards per each completion, and to top that, CBS rating peaked at 31.6.
In response, the NCAA's Playing Rules Oversight Panel voted to ban words, numbers, logos or symbols on eye black, which took effect in the 2010 season and was soon dubbed the "Tim Tebow Rule". In fact, the NFL had already banned such artistry, so Tebow has been unable to display favorite verses this season.
After Sunday's win, Tim's focus wasn't on his 25-yard game-winning bullet, but on his teammate, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, who caught the pass and ran it for the touchdown. He praises Jesus Christ and he builds up his teammates.
"(Thomas) made a great catch and a great run after the catch. Our offensive line blocked phenomenal." Tebow said. "DT made a heck of a play." Football is a team sport, and Tebow never takes credit for what his team members do.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
