The Tim Tebow mania of 2011 will go down in history as one of the greatest spectacles in Denver Broncos franchise history, and the NFL.
What put the icing on the cake was his 10-completion, 316-yard passing clinic, with an 80-yard touchdown to the late Demaryius Thomas to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round of the AFC Playoffs.
Recently, as the playoffs approached, Tebow reflected on the playoff win and how unique the brotherhood was with that 2011 Denver team in an interview with Touchdown Wire’s Ed Easton Jr.:
“Brotherhood and belief that that team was just a special team that probably wasn’t, in every way, the best team, meaning, did we have all the perfect pieces? Maybe not, but, man, that was a close team, that team that never quit,” said Tebow. “It was a team that, like people throw the word brotherhood a lot like you really feel like it was.
“One of the coolest things is when you watch the touchdown to DT (Demaryius Thomas) to win the game; if you look at the wide copy, you’ll see Champ Bailey, one of the best cornerbacks ever to do it, is on the sideline running almost as fast as DT like, that’s a however, many year vet that invested in overtime.”

Although Tebow did not last long in the NFL, his play with Thomas and the 2011 season will never be forgotten.
