FOXBORO — Just when you think you have a handle on Tim Tebow as a quarterback, just when you think you can wrap him up and put him in a nice, neat little box with a bow on top, he bursts out and throws something else at you —literally.

Maybe that’s just how it is with athletes who are supremely competitive, incredibly gifted and, above all, winners.

The Patriots [team stats] knew all about the Tebow legend when they faced him three weeks ago in Denver, and handily put the quarterback and the Broncos away, 41-23. The Pats knew about the running, the improvising, the magic. But there’s more to the Tebow equation this time around.
The Tebow the Pats see now can hit the defense where it hurts most, in the air. And by that, we’re not talking about short dump passes. We’re not even talking about intermediate throws. Tebow is unable to hit either of those kinds of throws with any regularity.

We’re talking about the long ball. That’s Tebow’s ticket. And those deep passes are a threat, especially where the Patriots are concerned. All the defense did in the regular season was give up 70 completions of 20 or more yards.

Plus, they now have an opponent and a quarterback essentially playing with house money. Tebow has already delivered the unexpected. They’re simply coming to Gillette Stadium for more.

“They believe,” Wilfork said of the Broncos.

Denver believes somehow, some way, its quarterback will find a way to get the job done, even if he has to go outside the box — the one everyone’s created for him — to make it happen.
