Steelers lose to Broncos, Tebow in overtime
TweetSteelers lose to Broncos, Tebow in overtime
Associated Press
DENVER
One of the most storied NFL playoff teams ran into a rejuvenated Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos.
Sorry, Pittsburgh Steelers.
The magic is back.
Tebow connected with Demaryius Thomas on an electrifying 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime and the Broncos defeated the stunned Steelers 29-23 in the AFC wild-card game on Sunday.
Thomas hauled in a high play-action pass at the Denver 38, stiff-armed Ike Taylor and then outraced Ryan Mundy to the end zone. Tebow knelt in his own end zone, pounding a fist in triumph before taking a victory lap in jubilation.
Behind Tebow’s 316 yards passing, the Broncos (9-8) are heading to New England for a second-round game against the top-seeded Patriots on Saturday night.
The Steelers (12-5) lost despite Ben Roethlisberger rallying Pittsburgh from a two-touchdown halftime deficit with 10 points in the final 10 minutes.
Read the story in Monday’s Vindicator and on Vindy.com.

He's really prayin' now!!!
Intriguing number of passing yards -- 316. Mere "coincidence" of course to 3:16?
Go Pack !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to many injuries to overcome.......
Tomlin should have played Charley Batch, Ben was way too immobile to be out there. Bad coaching decision. Ike Taylor was awful,
if you score 23 points against a team like denver you should win. this loss gets pinned on ike taylor for giving up 204 yards to a no-name receiver and william gay for getting burned by torrey smith in week 8 against baltimore.
Hey Steeler fans all teams have injuries,just accept the fact the better team won yesterday.Show some class and stop making excuses,Tomlin didn't make any excuses.
I don't think for one minute Denver is going to beat New England,I didn't think they had chance against Pittsburgh,you never know.
Denver took James the hit man Harrison out of the game,that is part of the reason they won.
TEBOW TEBOW !
