The Tim Tebow miracle met an unforgiving obstacle on Sunday. Winners of their last six games, the Denver Broncos had no answer for the visiting New England Patriots. They lost by a final score of 41-23. It was just too deep of a hole for the Broncos offense to climb out of, something they grew accustomed to on their recent win streak.

Denver head coach John Fox called a pretty conservative game, using more and more traditional formation for option quarterback Tim Tebow. The comeback kid himself finished the game with 94 rushing yards on 12 attempts. He also scored twice with his magic legs. In the passing game, Tebow completed 11 of 22 attempts for 194 yards.
Denver's biggest problem was New England tight end Aaron Hernandez. Time and time again, Tom Brady found his other tight end in the middle of the field uncovered by any of the blue jerseys. Hernandez finished the game with nine catches for 129 yards and a touchdown. Brady scored himself on a one-yard quarterback sneak. He also completed 23 of 34 passes for 320 yards and two touchdowns.
Because of Oakland's last-minute loss to the Lions, Denver keeps a one-game lead in the AFC West race. Tebow and company will need a win in Buffalo next week to stay in command of their unlikely division race.
