Tim Tebow, faith and football? Do the two go together?

Two weeks ago, the New York Jets got beat by Tim Tebow. Now they're playing like him -- and that's OK. There's no reason to apologize, not in a business defined by results.

Tebow has captivated the sport with his polarizing style, a player with obvious flaws but knows when it's winning time. You can say the same thing about the Jets, who can overcome 55 minutes of ugly with five minutes of beautiful.Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos delivered again with a strong, determined finish after a slow start.

Tebow found his groove in the second half Sunday, and the Broncos' defense, which struggled for much of the game, provided a big play to match his late-game touch.Tim Tebow has been a hot topic on the sports channels, around dinner tables, at bars, and now that I’m a football fan, even in my own home. Sports commentators argue over his athletic ability on the field; players have even criticized his public stance of faith. All the while, Tim Tebow has stayed focused on playing to the best of his ability, leading his team to victory, and giving glory to God. Who does Tiger Woods think he is? Tim Tebow? With back-to-back birdies on the 17th and 18th holes, Woods engineered a comeback worthy of the Denver Broncos quarterback, who, himself, delivered another come-from-behind win for his team on the same NFL Sunday that Woods broke a two-plus-year winless drought.

"It feels awesome," Woods told Golf Channel about winning the limited-field Chevron World Challenge for his first victory in 27 events over a stretch of 749 days after starting the day one shot back of playing partner Zach Johnson.
