On Sunday afternoon, the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers will face off against each other in a AFC Wild Card match.  Leading the Denver Broncos will be QB Tim Tebow, who has surprised everyone since his debut start 12 games ago.  Tim Tebow has 7 wins and 4 losses under his belt with over 1700 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and a 46.0 completion percentage.  Beside Tebow are WR Eric Decker and RB Willis McGahee.  Both of these players show phenomenal expectations in this game based on their stats; Decker had 612 receiving yards, 44 receptions, and only 8 touchdowns, while McGahee had about 1200 rushing yards and only 4 touchdowns.  The Broncos are 1st in rushing yards, but 31st in passing yards.  The question is can the Broncos keep their composure and defend themselves against the Pittsburgh Steelers?  


The Pittsburgh Steelers will come into this game with a 12-4 record, 10th in passing yards, and 1st in total defense in the league.  QB Ben Roethlisberger is probable for their game on Sunday but there is a chance that he’ll play.  If not, Charlie Batch will be in there; he had 208 passing yards and 62.5 completion percentage.  Honestly, I believe that the Broncos won’t be able to handle the Steelers offense.  Prediction:  Steelers defeat the Broncos 28-14.
