"He's the comeback kid," said Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker. "That's what we call him. He brings this attitude about him that he's so positive and always optimistic. That does rub off on guys. To be able to consecutively do this on the road, at home and in the fourth quarter is great. If we have a chance to win, we're going to win."

Backup wide receiver Demaryius Thomas said Denver's season changed when coach John Fox pivoted from Kyle Orton to Tebow during a Week 4 loss to San Diego. Thomas was on the sideline injured, and said that when Tebow went in the game, "I just felt a spark."
"The defense and the offense, everybody was playing," Thomas said. "I don't know what it was. It was like everything changed. The spirit and the excitement, everybody just changed. Everybody wanted it more."
