Yes that’s right. On the first play from scrimmage after the touchback on the opening kickoff in overtime, Tim Tebow threw an accurate pass to a streaking wide receiver who blew past and stiff-armed all would be defenders to score an 80-yard touchdown as the Denver Broncos defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs. Just about the same time this was happening, the New England Patriots, who will now be hosting said Broncos at Gillette Stadium at 8pm this Saturday, announced that Josh McDaniels would be returning immediately to the Patriot’s sideline as an offensive assistant and offensive coordinator in waiting.

This story has an added twist in that McDaniels was the Broncos head coach when he drafted both Tebow and Demaryius Thomas, who caught he pass and literally bulled his way into the end zone. This should be a very interesting game to watch Saturday, and the Pats will have no one to blame but themselves should they fail to advance, as they handled Tebow and the Broncos easily the last time they met, which was only about a month ago. (and that was in Denver, where they have traditionally had very little success)

As they say around here, Go Pats!
