Speaking to reporters today, Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow said he’s not one to use the so-called underdog role as motivation.
Certainly not during preparations this week for Saturday night’s second-round AFC playoff game at New England.
The Patriots have been made at least a 13-point favorite by Las Vegas oddsmakers.
“I don’t know if we’ll look into that, but maybe for some people it is (motivation),” Tebow said of the being a decided underdog. “Just playing the Patriots is enough motivation for us, and go to Foxboro and playing Tom Brady, playing (coach) Bill Belichick — that’s enough motivation, let alone, it’s a huge playoff game.
“So all those things added up, I’m sure there will be a lot of motivation.
“The one thing that I’ll be most proud of is our team will definitely go out there and play hard, play with a lot of passion and enthusiasm, which is all you can ask for.”
