VIDEO: Tim Tebow’s Beautiful Passes Get Broncos First Touchdown In 2012 AFC Wild Card Game

Tim Tebow had just completed his first pass of the Denver Broncos' 2012 AFC Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, only to have it taken away after a big hit by James Harrison helped dislodge the ball from Eric Decker's grasp and send Decker to the sideline. No matter: Tebow just followed it with two of the best throws of his NFL career to set up and score Denver's first touchdown of the day.

First, Tebow escaped the pocket and fired deep to Demaryius Thomas for 51 yards.

Then Tebow made one of the best throws of his career, fitting a pass into a tiny window for Eddie Royal to make the day's first touchdown happen.

Suddenly, Tebow looks like a threat to do things through the air. And the Broncos lead, 7-6.

SB Nation’s NFL bloggers made predictions for Wild Card weekend and here’s a look at the updated NFL playoffs schedule for Sunday. Check out Behind the Steel Curtain for the latest on the Steelers and Mile High Report for the latest on the Broncos.
