Tim Tebow's Light Shines Before Men and the NFLTim Tebow is light of the world and the NFL this season in the fourth quarter with his success as the quarterback of the Denver Broncos. His critics have tried to place his lamp under a bowl in their vane attempts to silence Tim Tebow's message of faith to Jesus Christ. However, he refuses to bow down to their desires and instead he places his lamp front and center in every NFL arena around the nation.

In five out of eight contests this season, Tim Tebow and his Bronco teammates have won a game by four points or less. Tim Tebow did not complete a pass in the second quarter or even in the third quarter and he and his teammates ran the ball ineffectively.

However, with the Broncos trailing 10-0 late in the fourth quarter, the Bears prevent defense failed to do its job and allowed Tim Tebow to complete short passes to his previously inept receivers beneath the coverage. After scoring their first touchdown of the game through the air, the Chicago Bears did the impossible. The Bears failed to run out the clock.

The Broncos got the ball back and Tim Tebow managed to drive the Broncos into Bears territory. With a last ditch field goal, the Broncos tied the game. In the overtime, the Bears showed their lack of grasping football fundamentals and allowed the Broncos a repeat performance of the fourth quarter. Tim Tebow positioned the ball and another 50-yard plus field goal was made by the Bronco's kicker.

For all the good it's done the Broncos to graciously allow Tebow to keep playing quarterback, Tim Tebow has not come away unscathed. This first attack on his faith came against the Detroit Lions when Stephen Tullock mocked Tim Tebow's thanks to God after sacking the quarterback by bending down on one knee. Also, former Bronco's quarterback jack Plummer told the Daily Mail, “I wish he'd just shut up after a game and go hug his teammates.” And Kurt Warner told the Washington Post that Tim Tebow should “put down the boldness in regards to the words and keep living the way you're living.”
