Musings From The Jets-Broncos Game

Hey Sean Roman from "On The Sportlines" here.

Great to see Tim Tebow scoring his first NFL touchdown in the best game of the weekend.

In the 24-20 loss to the Jets, the crowd in Denver was super-pumped to see Tebow take the snap from the shotgun and run the ball 5 yards in the end zone.

Tebow's TD tied the game 7-7 in the second quarter. Tebow averaged just about 4 yards a carry (23 yards in 6 carries), but definately added a new dynamic to the lackluster Denver running game. In the loss, the Broncos ran for a season high 145 yards.

Tebow proved a useful decoy earlier in the game, when he handed off to Correll Buckhalter for a 13-yard gain as part of a fake option.

It seems quite worthy that Tebow became the first rookie QB to score a touchdown.
