So when Fox says that Tebow started well, but went into hibernation, that was interesting. The Broncos started in a spread offense with Tebow in the shotgun. It’s the perfect way to let Tebow be Tebow. He should be in the shotgun on almost every play.
He took the Broncos down so easily on that drive. And then. . .they stopped using the spread offense.
“We tried to get back to that after halftime,’’ receiver Eric Decker said. “Maybe we did get away from it a little bit.’’
Fox put Tebow in a much more traditional and un-Tebow-like offense the rest of the half. That’s when Tebow seemed to go into hibernation.

When Denver started in the Spread everything worked so well. Detroit's D was spread out taking pressure off Tebow and giving Moreno and Ball all kinds of room to run. They were down near the redzone in less than 3 minutes. Tim completed two medium routes with ease, and were it not for the last pass not being overturned (still swear that was easily a catch) he'd have been 3/3 and a TD.
The next drive, and the majority of drives after, consisted of pretty much 2 WR sets and Tebow almost always under center.
WHY?
