Facing Pittsburgh, Tebow strikes in OT

DENVER, Col. (AP) - One of the most storied NFL playoff teams ran into a rejuvenated Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos.

Tebow connected with Demaryius Thomas on an electrifying 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime and the Broncos defeated the stunned Steelers 29-23 in the AFC wild-card game on Sunday.

Behind Tebow's 316 yards passing, the Broncos (9-8) are heading to New England for a second-round game against the top-seeded Patriots on Saturday night.

The Steelers (12-5) lost despite Ben Roethlisberger rallying Pittsburgh from a two-touchdown halftime deficit with 10 points in the final 10 minutes.

Eli Manning and the New York Giants are heading to Green Bay with their running game rejuvenated and their defense as stifling as ever.

Manning threw three touchdown passes, Brandon Jacobs had 92 of the Giants' 172 yards rushing and the defense shut down Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons in a 24-2 victory Sunday.
