Tim Tebow got his first NFL start during week 8 of the 2011 NFL season. How ironic it was in Miami vs. the Dolphins and during halftime the University of Florida Gators were being honored for their back to back championships a few years back, when Tebow led the way. Needless to say, the Dolphins sold more tickets to this game, even if it were probably more Florida Gator / Tim Tebow supports then Miami Dolphins fans. For 55 minutes Tebow played horrible, he was running for his life, getting sacked, not reading the defense or completed passes while seeing his team trail 15-0. Miami was in position for it's first win of the season. Not so fast Tebow utilizing his arms and legs drove the Broncos down for a touchdown, which made the score 15-7. Miami had the onside attempt in it's hands, it was dropped and recovered by Denver. Tebow once again utilizing his arms and legs, led Denver to another touchdowns with seconds remaining, nevertheless the Broncos needed a 2 point conversion to tie the game at 15 and send the game into overtime. Even with a Dolphins timeout, the Broncos spread them out with multiple receivers and allowed Tebow the run / pass option, quarterback sneak for the two points, OT here they come. The teams trade punts, Dolphins fumble the football on their side of the field during 2nd overtime position. Denver ran the ball 3 times and hit a game winning field goal as Tebow managed to win his first NFL start after struggling for 55 minutes and taking over the last 5 minutes. Denver will host Detroit Sunday, Tebow vs. Suh, that will be interesting.
