Broncos starting quarterback Tim Tebow said the team had a good practice today despite being forced indoors by the snowstorm, and he said the offense was able to make progress on some of the issues that plagued the group in Sunday’s overtime victory at Miami.
The Broncos’ offense was shut out through more than 55 minutes when the first 11 possessions ended with either a punt, fumble or missed field goal.
“I felt like today we made some good strides, with timing, with precision, with little things,” Tebow said. “That was very encouraging, and I think we have to continue that every day.”
Tebow and the Broncos know they’ll need a better offensive performance Sunday against a Detroit team that ranks No. 7 in total defense, and in the top 10 in the league in total yards and passing yards allowed.
Tebow was sacked six times against the Dolphins on Sunday. (On Wednesday, a seventh sack was officially changed to a run by Elias Sports Bureau.)
“I think it’s a great challenge, they do have a great defense, a great front seven and their front four does get off the ball,” Tebow said. “I’m excited about it. I think it will be fun.”
