Poll of the Day: How many passing yards will Tim Tebow have against the Patriots?
In the most important game of his NFL career, Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow threw for a career-high 316 yards against the league's top-ranked pass defense including 80 of those yards in the only offensive play of overtime.
Despite completing less than 50 percent of his pass attempts (10-for-21), Tebow threw for 316 yards and two touchdowns and ran 10 times for 50 yards and a touchdown. In other words, Tebow finished with 31 fantasy points.
The Steelers did not allow more than 20 fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in any regular-season game this year.
In his first matchup against the Patriots this season, Tebow completed 11 of 22 passes for only 194 yards although he ran for 93 yards and two touchdowns.
During the regular season, the Patriots allowed the second-most passing yards (293.9 per game). Coincidentally, the only team to allow more is the other No. 1 seed in the postseason.
Counting last week's playoff win, Tebow has started 12 games this season. In those 12 games, Tebow has thrown for 200-plus yards only three times and has thrown for less than 100 yards twice.
How many passing yards will Tebow have this time around against the Patriots?
