| Tim Tebow |
In Denver, the quarterbacks are measured by the living legend like John Elway. The former won two consecutive titles in the Mile High City at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Since then it ran for the Broncos not too good. Elways successors were either dismissed or failed when attempting to lead the team back into the circle of contenders.
Starting the season at quarterback Kyle Orton in Denver was the beginning. With the 29-year-old won the franchise for only one victory in five games. Since then, now plays the five years younger Tebow. And since that's also going up. Despite the spectacular play Tebows not it also gave back to victory on Thursday.

A Comeback Kid in the style of John Elway
Against AFC rival to Tebow became the comeback kid who was once his coach Elway. Thanks to his drive strength, not because of his passes. Just over a minute was left on the clock, as the playmaker opened his eighth run in this game - and did not stop. After 20 yards, he reached the endzone and was almost overwhelmed by his teammates. 17:13 - The final tests of the jets brought no more turning.
The slalom increased his account to 68 yards, as many as any other of the specialists brought together that evening.
"I love winning, but I wish it would not be so stressful," admitted the match-winner, which his team had with the last drive over 95 yards out, almost over the entire playing field. These include nerve, only the assets of the run like a "fullback" mocked Tebow not being adequate.
Drives on the first eleven he had previously brought only 80 yards per pass into existence (Denver had passed eight times per punt), in the last 92 of the drive 95 yards went on Tebows Account! And he also sprinkled a passport, brought three of five at the man and also bridged here as much as 35 yards.
"We have it all evening mightily under pressure, but failed at the last moment," was angry the star cornerback the Jets, Darrelle Revis. "Tebows legs have brought the Denver victory."
Only the racer, then the flash - Tebow stays cool
The last time the Broncos had a third attempt at the 20-yard line - four yards to first down. A racer gave the teams time to consider the tactics. Until the security forces had made the man who went around one minute. The Jets opted for a massive "blitz" against Tebow. Recognize the situation, however, and responded brilliantly. He danced Safety Eric Smith on the left side, pulled and pushed inwards towards its 107 kg endzone. "He shocked me," said Revis. "He has probably shocked a lot of people."
Guest coach Rex Ryan himself was not surprised: ".. It is expected that he keeps the ball in this situation in hand, but he ran for a touchdown, he's a competitive person and always good for Big Play." Bad for Ryan and his team. The Jets conceded their fifth defeat of the season and now stands at 5:5. First place in the AFC East (New England, 6-3) is now a good distance away. Denver, however, has in the tight AFC West with 5:5 Now the best chance of winning. Currently, Oakland leads 5-4, lurking behind the Broncos, the San Diego Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs, each with 4:5.
