You could say the Denver Broncos’ victory over the Chicago Bears Sunday involved a higher power. But only because the altitude in Denver is a mile above sea level. Good lord. Tim Tebow and the Broncos defeated the visiting Bears 13-10 in overtime. Just when it looked like the Broncos didn’t have a prayer late in the fourth quarter when they trailed 10-0, they rallied for the unlikely victory.
Playboy Playmate Jaime Edmondson, a favorite around here, correctly predicted the winner of Sunday's Bears-Broncos contest.
The highly overtly religious Tebow praised his lord in the immediate aftermath of the victory. Praise be to Allah. Oh, wrong god? Hey, sorry. Can’t wait for the day when someone behaves in the manner of a Tebow, but only to a non-Christian deity. Better yet, here’s hoping an agnostic or atheist can offer celebratory praise to a non-existent entity.
For the more tradtional faithful who believe in the holy trinity (not meaning the three phases of the game: offense, defense, special teams), there are certain conclusions that can be drawn from Sunday’s Broncos victory:
* At one point, Tebow was 3-of-16 passing. Not to be confused with John 3:16, which is a widely cited part of the New Testament. It has something to do with eternal life. All the Broncos are looking for is to extend the season into the playoffs. Which means Denver will need better than a 3-for-16 from Tebow.
* Tebow was a far better quarterback in college at Florida because most of the team’s games were on Saturdays when God was not as busy. Gee, on Sundays everybody — or those concerned about feeling the heat in an unconfirmed afterlife — are trying to communicate with Him/Her.
* If God is a Broncos fan, He/She must not be paying attention until late in the game when Tebow seems to start playing better. Must be all part of God’s grand plan to keep Tebow humble.
* Tebow had nothing to do with Bears running back Marion Barber failing to stay inbounds so the team would run out the clock.
* God and Jesus have been longtime Green Bay Packers fans. Pretty sure they have season tickets. Dates to the days of Pope Vince pacing the sidelines at Lambeau Field. That has to be why the 2011 Packers remain undefeated and appear to be staying that way for the rest of the regular season.
* It was not divine intervention that caused Barber to fumble in overtime when the Bears were within field-goal distance on a day when each team had a field goal longer than 55 yards.
* Even the power of prayer will not help Bears QB Caleb Hanie.
OK, how about some Broncos cheerleaders video. It’s not from Sunday’s game, but it’s better than nothing:
