n”> – Tim Tebow, the most-talked about quarterback in the National Football League, goes up against one of the most successful of the past decade when the Denver Broncos host Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Sunday’s marquee game.
The game is one of many this week with playoff implications as the NFL enters the final three weeks of regular season play, but no matchup is more keenly anticipated than the clash of two AFC divisional leaders.
The AFC East’s Patriots need a win to clinch their place in the post-season while the AFC West’s Broncos are desperate for a victory to keep their momentum towards the playoffs going after winning seven of eight games since Tebow was named starter.
Tebow, the unorthodox, college-style quarterback whose very public displays of religiosity have polarized opinion and whose technique led many critics to write him off as a pro, has simply been the story of the 2011 NFL season so far.
The 24-year-old signal caller is well aware his counterpart in Sunday’s game represents, in many ways, the gold standard in the NFL.

With two weeks of intense gaming under my belt, I feel I have completed enough research to give you the most definitive review on Bleacher Report.
This slideshow review will analyse each feature in gross detail, ultimately concluding with a final score out of ten.
For those who have waited to buy this game until after Christmas, or for those simply waiting for Santa to drop it down the chimney, this review will certainly give you an in-depth look at what you will be getting for your hard earned dollar.
I played the game on the PS3 only, so some details may differ.
Enjoy!
This game had me from the word go.
The opening titles make this game feel like an extension of what one sees on the television every week.
The same sorts of montages are used as the popular Raw and SmackDown openings, and the music fits the content perfectly.
I marked out as I watched this little addition to the game, as it is the little changes that make this game stand out from the rest, as you will see throughout this review.

Englishman Luke Donald is on the verge of becoming the first golfer to win the European and American money titles.
Donald shot a six-under 66 in the third round of the Dubai World Championship to trail leader Alvaro Quiros by four strokes going into the final round.
As Donald climbed the leaderboard, Rory McIlroy headed the other way to all but end his chances of overtaking the top-ranked Englishman on the European money list.
The US Open champion had a shaky one under 71 to drop into a tie for eighth.
‘It’s over,’ a dejected McIlroy said. ‘Luke is in a great position and he’s played great the past couple of days.
