With Denver's win Sunday over the Minnesota Vikings, the Broncos have climbed to a 6-1 record with Tebow at starting quarterback, with five of those wins coming in the fourth quarter or overtime. For the Broncos, "crunch time" has been renamed at Tebow Time In just one game this season, Tebow rushed 22 times for 67 yards. That marked the most rushing attempts by a quarterback in a single game in NFL history. Second on the list is Billy Kilmer (20 carries with the 49ers in 1961). Among modern-era quarterbacks, the closest anyone comes to 22 carries is Michael Vick‘s 14 carries in 2004. Despite many questions about his arm mechanics, Tebow has managed to put points on the board for his team, and more importantly, inspire both his offense and defense to perform at a high level. In the last seven games under Tebow, the defense has limited its opponents to an average of 16.7 points per game, ranking among the best in the league in both rushing and passing. With Tebow as the team's No. 2 running option on offense, the Broncos are first in the NFL in rushing yards with an average of 159.7 yards per game Tebow ranks among the NFL's elite quarterbacks in efficiency. Tebow gains an average of 2.6 yards each time he touches the ball, and only four quarterbacks average more yards than he, including (in order) Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, Saints QB Drew Brees, Patriots QB Tom Brady, and Texans injured QB Matt Schaub
