Tim Tebow did not have a good game as he was 4 of 14 for a total of 40 yards in the first 54:37 of the game and the Dolphins were leading but then in the last 5:23 in regulation he went 9 of 13 for 121 yards with 2 TDs as he lead drives of 80 and 56 yards to tie the game with 17 seconds left when he ran in a two point conversion and went in standing up. On the 80 yard drive Tebow put together short passes to setup a 44 yard catch and run to Matt Willis which would lead to a 13 yard by Tebow and the drive ended with a TD pass to Demaryius Thomas for a 5 yard TD to end a 8 play, 80 yard, and took 2:39 off the clock. After a Virgil Green onside kick recovery and Tebow and the Broncos kept it up the short passes to setup a Daniel fells 28 yard catch and run to setup the ball on the 3 yard line and after an incomplete pass Tebow went back to Fells again for a 3 yard TD catch. Then in overtime Matt Moore lost the ball on his own 35 yard line as he was sacked half way through the overtime and the Broncos just ran 3 times and setup a 52 yard field goal attempt by Matt Prater and it was good and the Broncos ran out of south Florida with a 18-15 victory as the Dolphins are still lead suck for luck and Tony Sparno is likely to be fired soon a.k.a. tomorrow. The Dolphins diffidently got to Tebow as they sacked him 7 times which is even more Jay Cutler behind the horrible offensive line he has in Chicago.
Tony Gonzalez after being interviewed by his 10 year old son on the FOX game day show he went out and became the second all-time receptions and is only behind Jerry Rice as he caught his 1103 reception in the first half to help the Falcons take a 17-6 lead at half time and the Falcons held on to a 23 - 16 victory. Both starting quarterbacks got hurt at different times in the second as early in the third quarter when one of his offensive lineman stepped on his heel of his foot and had to go back to the locker room but he ended up not missing a snap and contacted with Harry Douglas for a 49 yard catch and run for their biggest gain of the game while Matthew Stafford got injured on the final offensive play of the game he limped off the field.
In New Jersey Plaxico Burress caught three TD passes today against the Chargers as he helped the New York Jets comeback from a 21-10 half time score and helped the Jets score the only 17 points in the second half to win the game 27-21 as Burress caught a 3 yard TD pass midway through the fourth quarter to give the Jets a 24-21 lead. This touchdown was setup by a Darrelle Revis interception who ran the ball back 70 yards and instead of the Chargers being in a field goal position to take a touchdown lead it was going the other way to give the Jets a chance to take a lead. Rex Ryan at the end of the game did not know that it was fourth down when Phillip Rivers throw the ball out of bounds with 3 seconds left in the game which is amazing that a head coach did not know that it was fourth down.
What a week 7 in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
