This week seems to be a good time for the Minnesota Vikings to finally grab win #3. The Vikings can't defend the pass and Tim Tebow can't throw a pass.
So much is made of Tebow leading the Broncos resurgence. One would think that no one else plays for the team. The Broncos defense has been terrific. In particular, rookie linebacker Von Miller has been more than the team could have hoped when they chose him second overall. With 10.5 sacks on the season, he has Jevon Kearse's rookie record in his sites. Miller is going to be a nightmare for the Vikings. He's going to be a nightmare for offenses for his entire career. Von Miller is a good one.
One of the most telling examples, for me, of Tebow's impact is the Broncos receivers. Eddie Royal and Eric Decker seem to have bought into the new offense. Receivers only get a handful of chances each game. In this crazy offense, with Tebow and runningback Willis McGahee handling the ball, the receivers see the ball far less than that. Apparently they enjoy winning more. Unfortunately, we don't see that attitude, wins over attention, too often in the NFL. Especially from receivers. I still question the long term success of this offense. It has a lot of surprise value to it now but defenses will catch on. They always do.
