I was just checking, Patriots are only 1-1 vs playoff teams and the sole win was vs denver. Denver was up 16-7 in that game as well, I am not sold on this game yet, I really believe Denver can win this game. Going to be a great game, and a inspirational story if Denver can keep going on this magical run.
Denver also turned the ball over 3 times after a hot start. They ran all over the Pats at times too. Not sure what to predict or say anymore lol.
But, some interesting stuff from the WC game for people who might care:
Tebow's favorite verse in the bible is John 3:16
- "John" Fox called the play in overtime that won the game
-Tebow won over "John" Elway
- Tebow threw for 316 yards
- Tebow had 31.6 yards per attempt
- Ben Roethlisberger threw an interception on 3rd and 16.
-Steelers time of possession was 31:06
-Demaryius Thomas was born on Christmas Day
-The Final quarter hour of the television ratings for the game was 31.6
-If Steelers went for FG at end of regulation it would have been 66 yards by #6
Fun twist you don't have to care about:
-Tebow had three horrible games prior to this one, miraculously coming back from the dead to beat the Steelers, Christ was dead for 3 days before the resurrection.
What happens vs. Patriots? Well not much to notice yet but it's the perfect good vs. evil story. Josh McDaniels is back with NE and he drafted both Tebow and Thomas. Also this game is the 10th anniversary of the famous and controversial "Tuck Rule" game.
