Tebow brought his Broncos back from an insurmountable deficit yesterday.
-
Over half of the fifteen games games played for week 14 have been decided by a touchdown or less. That’s right. of the fifteen games thus far, a possession has separated the two opponents in eight of them. Some of these games were back and forth affairs. Others incorporated highly improbable come-backs.
But, if you’re unlike me and have more important things to do in life than create a small crater on your couch in your favorite pajamas all weekend and watch football while eating frosted min-wheats three meals a day, then you may have missed out on some of these great games. I mean, these were some great games. So much so, that co-workers and friends who did happen to catch them will be talking all about them until Wednesday or Thursday. But, we here at What’s Trending, want you to be in the know. That is why I have compiled a short list of the eight thrilling games from yesterday that will tell you a sentence of what happened.

Yates threw the game winning TD with 2 seconds left to win not only the game but also Houston’s first playoff berth and division championship.Sentence to use to make it sound like you somehow caught the game: I guess they (Cincinnati) just got really conservative because it seemed like everything was wide open underneath–even the last touchdown.
New Orleans 22, Tennessee 17
A defensive battle turned into a high-octane offensive thriller in the fourth quarter as New Orleans held off the Titans’ exciting back-up Rookie, Jake Locker.Sentence to use to make it sound like you somehow caught the game: Brees just always seems to somehow overcome any force in his way and carry that team to success, whether its an individual play like the TD to Colston, or a Superbowl.

(Laugh here).
Arizona 21, San Francisco 19
