Tebow! Broncos shock the Steelers, 29-23 OT

Give Tebow some credit. Maybe he's not the flashiest QB that can throw lasers all over the field, but he was good enough to go unconventionally conventional as he went 10-21 with 316 passing yards and 2 TDs. The Broncos started hot and earned a 20-6 lead. The Steeler would tie the game with 3:48 and had a chance to set up a game-winning Fg, but Roethlisberger was sacked and pushed back out of FG range. The game would go to OT, the first ever with the new system. Tebow did the same thing he's been doing all season in OT: win. That's exactly what he did when he tossed the ball to Demaryius Thomas for an 80 yard catch and run to set up a rematch against New England and Tom Brady.

Lights Out! Niners shut down the Steelers, 20-3

The Niners showed three things on their MNF beat down against the Steelers: their defense is as stout as any in the league, Roethlisberger needS to get healthy soon for the playoffs, and Candlestick Park is way too old for an NFL team. The defense bottled up an injured Roethlisberger all night. Big Ben seemed out of sorts as he threw three picks in the game. The primetime game was delayed by two power outages, showing America that while Candlestick Park has a rich history of football, it needs to be replaced or renovated for a Niners team that's heading to the playoffs for the first time since 2002.

Steelers smash the Browns, 14-3

If you watched the Thursday Night Football match-up, you could be certain of two things about the Steelers: Big Ben is a tough dude and James Harrison is a DIRTY player. Big Ben snapped his ankle on a sack, but he returned to lead the Steelers to victory. The dirty linebacker from Kent State body-slammed Browns QB, Colt McCoy, on a roughing-the-passer penalty. McCoy
Eft the game, but was rushed back after he "passed" the concussion test. He threw a critical INT and the Steelers turned that into an eleven point lead. Once the game ended, you can be certain of two things: McCoy had a pretty bad concussion and James Harrison should be suspended from the great game of football.
