4. Epic spin, rollout, and TD throw vs. MIA

The Broncos trailed 15-0 in this game with less than eight minutes remaining on the road in Miami.

The likelihood of making a comeback and winning the game or even tying it at that point was close to zero.

The Broncos took a lot of time off the clock driving the ball downfield, but they were going to take anything they could get at that point

On 3rd and 3 with less than three minutes remaining in the game, Tebow scanned the field, didn’t see anyone open, spun around and away from pressure, rolling out to his right. He then made a very difficult throw to Demaryius Thomas for a touchdown pass to put the Broncos on the board and cut the deficit with very little time remaining.

The next time the Broncos got the ball, Tebow would again drive the team down the field and ultimately tie things up before the Broncos won in overtime.

The play Tebow made to Thomas was what started the whole comeback, though there were many incredible plays in the fourth quarter of this game that led to the Broncos’ eventual victory.
