Wow. I can honestly say that I didn't expect the Denver Broncos to make the playoffs this year and early on it didn't look good at 1 win and 4 losses. I figured another top 5 pick would be on its way. Say what you will about Tebowmania but the defense is what kept the games close enough for Tebow to lead the Broncos to 6 straight wins. That's not a knock on Tebow, in fact he got the job done when it counted and today will add to his legacy and the other teams in the AFC West had their chance but coulda woulda shoulda and they didn't get the job done. Had Pittsburgh been 100% healthy, I have no doubt they would have won today but shit happens and all that matters is that at the end of the day the Broncos are headed to Gillette stadium next week to face the Patriots and not the Steelers.

Next Sunday will likely be the end of the road for the Broncos but after last season, this season has to be viewed as an overwhelming success. Despite the odds I'll be cheering for the Broncos and next season looks a little brighter.
