Broncos vs. Dolphins: 4 Things We Learned About Denver in 18-15 Win

In what can only be described as one of the most dis-jointed games of the season so far, Tim Tebow scored a victory in his Florida homecoming.

It was certainly a "Tale of Two Games" for Denver, as the Broncos came back from sure defeat in the fourth quarter with 15 unanswered points to force overtime.

In a season that has already been filled with endless debate over the QB position in Denver, the way this game unfolded will be sure to cause even more fodder for both sides.

However winding the road was, though, the Denver Broncos eventually found themselves at the end with a win. Here are a few things that fans, and foes, learned about the Broncos.

The Denver Defense Feeds on Momentum

Whether the momentum comes solely from Tim Tebow or not, it cannot be denied that when the young quarterback is starting to rally, the defense answers with a play.

This week it was the stunning effort of DJ Williams, who single handily returned the ball to Denver with his strip of Matt Moore. Throw into that the fact that the coverage seemed to get better late in the game, and Dennis Allen has to wonder where that effort is all game long?

The defense probably felt like they had done enough to help the offense by limiting the Dolphins to only 15 points all game long, but when they sensed that their offense would reward them after a turnover, they were happy to oblige.

No-Huddle Is the Way to Go

Continuing with the theory of momentum and its effect on the Denver Broncos, it was apparent that the offense was clicking in the "hurry up" more so than in the traditional huddle.

So why not make the Broncos a no huddle offense?

The youth movement should benefit from that idea, as the entire offense seemed to spark. Tebow looked more comfortable in the system as well, which is a huge difference from the way he looked prior to that.

Tim Tebow Might Have Won the Locker Room on Sunday

This is a funny statement because in the first three quarters of the game, he might have just as easily lost it.

Make no bones about the fact that Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos offense was flat out atrocious (apart from the running game) in the first three quarters of the game. Blame it on the play calling, blame it on the line or blame it on Tebow, it doesn't matter. There was plenty to go around.

Still, when the game was still in reach and the Broncos got the bounces, the team saw that they will never be totally out of a game. That is a self fulfilling prophecy and the first ingredient to making it a reality is "belief."

Forget the opponent and everything else about the game and realize that this team is starting to believe that if it's possible, it can happen.

The Broncos Are Still Far from Solid

The organization, the coaches and the team still have a long, long way to go.

After the excitement and the high from winning in such dramatic fashion wears off, the reality that it was a win against an 0-6 team has to set in. True, the team can only beat the NFL team that is lining up against them on Sunday, but this win doesn't point to greatness ahead.

Against a better team like the Packers, the Broncos are so woefully behind in the fourth quarter that No. 7 himself wouldn't have been able to engineer a comeback based on the first three quarters of play.

Take this win and cherish the feeling because it is one of the best that the Broncos have had in years. However, realize that there is still so much to be done with this team before feelings like this are commonplace.
