Tebow has been a source of significant controversy in the sports world since replacing Kyle Orton as the Broncos' starting quarterback earlier this season. His outspoken views on Christianity has polarized NFL fans and even made him a fixture in the GOP campaigns of Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry.

"At this point, Tim Tebow might as well try and win the republican primary," joked former Eagles free agent Jerrod Johnson, who currently serves as QB for the Arizona Rattlers arena football team.

According to Trendistic, which tracks Twitter trends, the terms "Tebow" "Broncos" and "Win" all became trending topics on the social networking site in the late hours of the game. At 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, "Tebow" was found in 6.46% of all tweets.
