Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow created the grittiest, gutsiest, "just-get-it-done" narrative of the 2011 season to date when he led his team back from a 15-point late fourth-quarter deficit against the Miami Dolphins last Sunday. The Broncos' 18-15 overtime win allowed the Tebow canonizers to revel in his late touchdown pass and two-point conversion, and those who are sick to death of the Tebow overflow could point to the fact that he looked pretty horrible as a quarterback for most of the game. Both sides would have to admit that there were times when Dolphins defensive coordinator Mike Nolan seemed to outsmart himself.
There will not be those issues when the Detroit Lions travel to Denver to face the Broncos this Sunday — the defense run by head coach Jim Schwartz and defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham prefers to overwhelm you, pop you right in the mouth, and ask you just how you liked it. Tackle Ndamukong Suh leads the best defensive line rotation in the NFL, and this seems like a unit singularly built to mess with a running quarterback like Tebow still seems to be. Especially after two straight losses after five straight wins, and with the Chicago Bears looking more and more like a stern challenger in the battle for second place behind the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North, the Lions need this game more than any other so far.
