Broncos Will Stick With Tim Tebow As Starting QB

The Lions sacked Tebow seven times, and forced three turnovers; Tebow’s two, a fumble and an interception, both turned into defensive touchdowns, meaning that he sort of outscored his offense by himself.

Clearly, Tebow starting is no panacea for what ails Denver, not that the Lions minded poking a little fun at the Broncos’ supposed savior: multiple Lions mocked the “Tebowing” trend that swept the Internet in the past week.

Here’s the interception return, which went for a solid 100 yards. It was horrendous.

Fortunately for Avril and the Lions, he declined the opportunity for some Tebowing following his sack. He even declined to add to the Lions’ Tebowing today.

Halfway through the third quarter, Tebow has completed just four of 13 passes for 37 yards. On the ground, he has 15 yards on four rushing attempts.

Detroit Lions quarterback Matt Stafford looked iffy for this week’s game against the Denver Broncos earlier the week. He suited up, and the Lions could not be happier. Through the first two quarters of play, Stafford has 191 yards and two touchdowns. He has completed 16 of 22 passes as Detroit leads a laugher 24-3.

If Matthew Stafford could stay healthy long enough to play in the Lions’ game against the Denver Broncos, he was ready for a tasty matchup with Calvin Johnson against a struggling secondary.

Peter King, the proclaimed NFL expert over at Sports Illustrated, factored in Stafford’s injury as chose the Lions to squeak by in Denver.

As far as the other experts are concerned, CBS Sports went with the Lions in a sweep and Chris Mortenson was the lone Broncos backer from ESPN’s panel of pickers. Yahoo! Sports didn’t have picks posted in their entirety as of this writing.
