Tim Tebow: Setting Himself Up for Another Fourth-Quarter Comeback

Watching Tim Tebow play quarterback is about the most stressful thing you can possibly do.

He doesn't do anything very well, but in the end, he continually gets the job done.

Somehow.

Tebow always seems to save the dramatics for the fourth quarter. And, it so happens, he appears to be setting himself up for more of the same against the Minnesota Vikings this week.

The Vikings currently lead by a score of 15-14 midway through the fourth quarter. Tebow has thrown the ball just nine times for 67 yards and he's run for just eight yards. He's looked fairly pedestrian for the most part of the game.

But that's just the usual for Tebow.

In all likelihood, it means he has the Vikings right where he wants them. 

Tebow has been here before. He seems to thrive when defenses start tiring and he has either a little more time to throw or a little more room to run.

The Vikings defense has looked pretty good today, but it still isn't quite what it used to be in the past few years. There will be holes in this defense come the fourth quarter.

Yes, holes that even Tim Tebow can take advantage of. 

There's no real science to this. Tebow isn't a good throwing quarterback. But he's in the right system and he has the right physical tools to make defenses pay.

It also helps that he has Willis McGahee playing like he's 25 again and a defense that has been one of the best in the league.

But, when Tebow leads another fourth-comeback—largely on the ground—he's going to get all the credit once again.

It's certainly painful to watch, especially if you're a Bronco fan, but the fact of the matter is that Tebow just wins games.

Get to a TV in the next 10 minutes, because he's going to do it again.
