It took only 11 seconds – the fastest overtime in NFL history.
The Patriots have already beaten the Broncos this season – a 41-23 victory on Dec. 18 that snapped Denver’s six-game winning streak.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady told WEEI radio in Boston that it’s a challenge for the defense to prepare for Tebow, who likes to run the ball.
