Broncos Loss vs Pats Explained
Written by playerpress.com, Friday January 20 2012
After possibly their biggest win of the season, the Denver Broncos turned in a lousy performance against the New England Patriots last Sunday, jotting down a disappointing mark in the L column. It would appear though that there was a more than reasonable explanation behind the loss: Tim Tebow, the QB who had pretty much achieved legendary status just a week ago was little more than a walking corpse. He was plagued by a wide selection of chest, lung and rib injuries, which he valiantly played through, eventually failing to lift his side over the opposition.
According to ESPN, Tebow was hurt in the third quarter of the Pats game, in a tackle after which he had trouble sleeping and had a chest MRI test done on Monday. According to Broncos officials, his offseason program should in no way be affected by the injuries. The exact nature of the injuries could not be made public, because of team policy. Brady Quinn was on hand to step up to the plate when Tebow got hit, but the starting QB decided to stick it out in order to show character and integrity. He said he was going to play through the pain like a poker prop regardless of the stakes involved because he just wanted to give everything he had.
After the game, Tebow missed the media hour in the locker room, only emerging from the trainer’s room as reporters were on their way out. On Monday, Tebow’s status within the team was cemented by John Elway who declared that the team would retain him as their starting QB for next season. Tebow logged an 8-5 record with the Broncos after the disastrous 1-4 start the team got off to under Kyle Orton’s leadership. During his stretch, Tebow had four extremely spectacular 4-quarter comebacks.
