The were in man zero coverage a lot...no respect for Tebow’s passing game.
It got the Steelers burnt.
However, on the last play, I don’t think they were in zero. Steelers do a lot of feigning, stemming, showing in and out of coverages by moving people around.
If you look, I think the safety, got called on a quick count while he was up, because on the snap, he took off downfield as if he should have been deep.
Regardless, Tebow burnt Steeler secondary on deep pass all day, 5 over 30 yards I believe with 2TD passes. Polamalu, Gay, Clayton got beat all day.
“he took off downfield as if he should have been deep”
The strong safety is up and if you look at the replay he looks a little confused to me. Anyway the fact that Tebow burned them earlier should register with someone on the Steeler side of things. From Bronco’s point of view you take what they give you and they got a great big gift!

Perhaps some, but Denver has the best rushing offense in the NFL.
