TimTebow got a warm Philly welcome.
Tebow threw for 69 yards and ran for a touchdown in his first game in two years, Kenjon Barner returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown and ran for a score and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Indianapolis Colts, 36-10, on Sunday.
Tebow got a standing ovation when he entered midway through the third quarter and the crowd roared so loud when his name was introduced he had to quiet them down because he was taking the snap in a shotgun.
He dove into the pylon on a seven-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter and finished with 15 yards rushing on four carries. He completed six of 12 passes and was sacked twice.
Tebow hadn't played since the 2013 preseason with New England until the Eagles (1-0) signed him to compete with Matt Barkley for the No. 3 spot behind Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez. Barkley was 12 of 20 for 192 yards and one interception.
Rookie first-round pick Nelson Agholor caught a 39-yard touchdown pass from Sanchez. Bradford and All-Pro running back DeMarco Murray didn't play.
Playing their first game since losing to the Patriots in the AFC championship game that began the Deflategate saga, the Colts (0-1) didn't seem as if they prepared much for Philadelphia's up-tempo offense and they were missing several defensive starters.
But making sure players get reps is more important than scheming for a unique offense they're not going to see in the regular season.
Quarterback Andrew Luck completed five of six for 43 yards and left during the second series.
Tebow completed his first four passes. His first went for a five-yard gain and then he fired one over the middle to Eric Tomlinson for a 15-yard gain on third-and-12 play.

Tebow wants it sooo bad its easy to root for a guy like that plus he’s a bold spoken Christian who the media smeared.
Go TT.
Go Eagles, go Gators!
I want the guy to succeed just so all the Freepers that sided with the MSM have to eat a big plate of...crow.
go Tim!
Go TIM,Go Eagles, go Gator
GATOR DAD HERE.............
Tebow has already done the impossible. He’s turned me into an Iggles fan.
Excellent. Gator Alumni here...
Now you’re even better!
He looked good. Should have switched the ball to his right hand when running for the TD - the defensive player almost stripped him.
Good luck Tim. I hope you stay healthy and have a great year!
LOL, I think the whole UF Alumni Association is on this thread.
Did Eagles fans treat him nice???
LOL! Me too and I used to hate the Iggles.
LOL, looks it.
I’m hoping that Tebow works his way to a starting position. He looked fantastic today, considering he hasn’t played in a game for a couple years. Like Trump, he’ll continue to improve.
The lefty God haters are not happy.
By the way, what happened to their Michael Sam?
Actually, they were very nice to him - cheering like crazy, and chanting his name. As another Freeper said on this thread, Tebow has done the impossible.
I havent watched much football in recent years but I do like Tebow.He makes libtard heads explode and that’s always a good thing.
