One of the lasting images from last year’s playoffs came in arguably the most shocking result. The Broncos were 7½-point home underdogs to the Steelers, and found a way to force overtime. We all know what happened next: On the first play of overtime, Tim Tebow threw a strike to Demaryius Thomas, who outraced the Steelers’ secondary 80 yards for the game-winning touchdown.
