Steelers vs. Broncos: John Fox Reportedly Willing to Yank Tim Tebow

Denver Broncos head coach John Fox is prepared to bench quarterback Tim Tebow if he struggles against the Pittsburgh Steelers during Sunday's Wild Card playoff game, multiple sources have confirmed to Pro Football Talk.

In a must-win game, Fox has to do what gives the Broncos the best chance to win, and if Tebow struggles and Denver falls behind early, Quinn might be able to give the team a spark offensively.

Fox isn't afraid to make bold moves to help his team win, and that's exactly what you want in a coach.

The Steelers have the No. 1-ranked defense in the NFL, and Tebow really struggled to protect the football over the Broncos' last three games of the regular season, all of which were losses.

Tebow threw four interceptions with just one touchdown pass in the last three games, and for the season, he threw six interceptions with seven fumbles.

Against the Chiefs in Week 17, Tebow completed only 6-of-22 pass attempts. If he struggles like that against the Steelers, he must be yanked from the game.

Quinn is a capable pocket passer who would be extremely determined to prove himself if he gets a chance to play on Sunday.

Quinn has never played in a regular season game for the Broncos in his two years with the team, and has only appeared for them during the preseason.

Inserting him into the starting lineup with little experience as a Broncos player would be a risky move, but anything to light a spark into his team would be a good move for Fox to make.

Any quarterback who plays for the Broncos on Sunday isn't just playing for the next start if they beat Pittsburgh, they are playing to show who should start next season.
