Denver Broncos fans have been clamoring for Tim Tebow, and now it appears he's set to start at quarterback for his 3-and-10 team at the Coliseum on Sunday against the Raiders.
Oakland has been preparing for Tebow, as Kyle Orton has been nursing some sore ribs.
Tebow is no stranger to challenging road venues, telling the Denver Post, “In college, times like that, I always enjoyed playing on the road just as much in hostile environments, so that wouldn’t be a distraction for me,” he said, referring to the Black Hole.
The 6-7 Raiders are in their own pursuit of the postseason and need a victory to stay in the hunt in the AFC West.
Kickoff is 1:15 p.m., and if you want to check out Tebow’s debut inside the dark lair of the Silver and Black, you’ll need a ticket. The game is blacked-out on local TV.
