That's such a horrible excuse since all but like 4 teams are playing next Saturday.

Sucks we won't get Sunday Night Tebow this year.

Trap game? They're 7-1 with Tebow,that's hardly a trap. Plus Bill reconizes,he said "There's no other QB in the NFL with his skills" so he's got some whacky defensive scheme cooked up just for Tebow. 1-7-3 or a 5-5-1 or a 8-1-2 or some crazy thing like that.

It's so funny. Every time someone mentions "everyone mentions Tebow but they don't mention Prater and the Defense", that's exactly what they're doing.

Everyone, especially in Denver and Tebow himself, knows that massive credit goes to the defense and to Prater esp. for the last one.

Patriots defense has been prone to giving up late game TD's this season. Historically playing in Denver has given them fits as well. Should be a fun game to watch. Highest rated non prime time regular season game of the season?

I don't see why not? It has all the makings to easily be just that.
