YES!!!!!

Denver had 6 or 7 chances to win this game in regulation but fell apart. Then , in one moment , they win when I'm sure everyone said this game goes to Pitt in overtime.

Man that helps us!!!

Great call by Bronco's coaches. They bet LeBeau would put both safeties tight in the box to stop the run again. Troy P had been stuffing them all game long. They went tight one time too many... and Tebow didn't miss.

I'd rather be facing Denver anyway....

You can say a lot about Tebow's Game...but he certainly hasn't Choked under pressure.....the whole Tebow-Mania is because he pulls the Game out when it comes down to crunch time.....he's got like 4 OT wins this season....that's pretty much pressure

Pretty good game to watch. Must have been tough to be a fan of either team.

I think we're better facing the Bronos too

exciting game to watch.. not enough bad things can happen to the Steelers... they commit more blatant cheap shots than any team in foot ball and get away with it... glad to watch them melt...funny to watch the sidelines cry looking for a penalty on a good legal hit...

I hate the Steelers ALMOST as much as the Jets...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

x2.

Best playoff game i've seen in quite some time. Extremely entertaining. Denver had that game won. Thought the fumble was gonna come back and haunt McGahee.

Should make for a great game Saturday. Not sure if it's easier or not. I picked Denver to win, because of Bens' injury, Mendenhall and Pouncey out. Pats should win, but they were saying that about the Steelers all last week.

I'm not sure if I'd put that game into the "Classics" category. Good game but both teams had issues. That defensive call in OT by Pitt was ridiculous. How do let a WR run accross the field alone or covered one on one with no help in the middle? I'll give Denver credit though they run the ball over and over again so they set that play up perfectly. Tebow made a great throw and he caught the ball in stride which gave him the chance to out run the pursuit. Pitt fans must be livid on the call though from the coach. Tebow is good but the not the next coming of Elway. That win though probably bought him another year as starter. Let's hope we create a nice "Hostile" enviornment for him on Saturday!

I think you need to re-watch the Game...he was only sacked 4 times the whole game....they weren't in a row....as far as Choking....he threw Zero Interceptions that game, he also rushed for 93 yards and 2 TD's.

I don't exactly call that Choking.

The Big Knock on Tebow is that his QB Skills are Lacking....he's got a weak arm and his Accuracy sucks.

His 4th Qtr/OT performances this season also don't lend to somebody that chokes under pressure......

Don't get me wrong I'm not a Tebow fan......The Broncos were winning mainly because their defense has been keeping them in Games.....but Tebow has been coming through for them when they've needed him to. So give the guy some credit

That defense is a 1 on zero read for the QB. Also referred to as leaving the DB "on an island" with no safety help. And while the game may not go down as a classic, that play will immortalize Tebow. Going to be showing that every year....

Yep , thats one for the history books especially because it was also the first play of the first time the new playoff overtime rules were ever used..

I certainly am no D Coordinator but how do you call that on the first play of OT? If Denver would have kicked a field goal on their first possesion would Pitt have gotten the ball? I'm not familar with the new OT rule. I actually like the way college does it better than the pros.

Lebeau was figuring his DB could play it the way he would have in his playing days...
Charles Richard “#^&#^&#^&#^&” LeBeau (born September 9, 1937) is a National Football League Hall of Fame defensive back and football coach. He is currently the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive coordinator and is considered to be one of the greatest defensive coordinators of all time. He spent 14 years in the NFL as a player with the Detroit Lions and is in his 37th year as a coach. Considered an “innovator” and “defensive football genius”, LeBeau created the "zone blitz" when he was defensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals in the late 1980s.

On February 6, 2010, LeBeau was selected into the 2010 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The entire 2010 Pittsburgh Steelers team was in attendance at the induction ceremony

As for the playoff rule; if the Broncos had not scored the TD, and instead had kicked a FG, or not scored, Pitt would have a possession. If Broncos had kicked a FG and Pitt did not score, game over. If Pitt scores a TD after a Bronco FG or no score on their possession, game over. If Pitt kicks a FG to tie, or a no score tie, it would go to sudden death with Pitt kicking off.
