#2- November 27th, 2011

Final. 13. 13. 16. 45

The Broncos, led by Tim Tebow, would go into Qualcomm Stadium against the Chargers, the team that Tebow would take over for Kyle Orton early on in the season and nearly led the team to a win.

Tebow Time was in full effect for this game. When I saw this game, I was on the edge of my seat for the majority of it. Having to go to a Friendsgiving feast that night, I was wondering if this game would ever end or if any team wanted to win this one.

The Chargers jumped out to a 10-0 lead when Rivers found Antonio Gates and Nick Novak would convert on a 53 yard field goal. After Tebow connected with Eric Decker on an 18 yard strike, the two kickers in Novak and Matt Prater would duel it out in an exchange of field goals.

Novak kicked a 25 yarder to give the Chargers a 13-7 lead. The Prater would take over and convert on three field goals, including the 37 yarder in overtime with 29 seconds left to give the Broncos the 16-13 victory.

Before the game winner by Prater, Novak missed a 53 yarder that would have won the game. Therefore, the Broncos were set up in great field position.
