There’s aways more excitement in the atmosphere on game day, but for some players, Sunday’s game against the Dolphins will produce more nerves than usual.

Tim Tebow and Demaryius Thomas are not inexperienced rookies by any means, but they are second year players gearing up for something special.

Tebow heads back to his home state to play on a field that has been the setting for two championships (high school and college). Tebow family and friends will surround their star and Dolphins fans, a lot who are Gator fans, will be in full force to support a different shade of blue and orange.

“I think with Tim Tebow, it’s another football game. It’s just his personality,” offensive coordinator Mike McCoy said of the perceived added pressure.

For the first time, the first five picks in the Broncos 2010 draft class (all offensive players) will start together. That includes the oft-injured wide receiver, Demaryius Thomas.

The only thing that might have a shot of competing with Tim Tebow news this week is that of Brandon Lloyd being put on the trading block. The trade deadline is on Tuesday.

The Broncos are heading in a different direction, offensively. John Fox favors a run-heavy offense, but trading away a Pro Bowl receiver who led the league in receiving last year? Sounds crazy doesn’t it?

Lloyd is in the final year of his contract, and the Broncos would like to get a 3rd to 5th round draft pick for him.

There have been three or four teams that have expressed interest in acquiring Lloyd, including Tennessee (to replace Kenny Britt) and Carolina.
