After skidding to an 8-8 regular season record and enduring mass media scrutiny from Saturday Night Live comedians to sports statisticians, Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos were expected to fall hard at home in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs. Everyone predicted them to be bloody Bronco meat, losing at the feet of defending AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers.
