Tim Tebow Calls It ‘A Great Honor’ to Play Against Tom Brady, Patriots

FOXBORO, Mass. — It didn't take a football expert to see that Tim Tebow was thoroughly outplayed by Tom Brady on Saturday night, as the Patriots quarterback tied a postseason record with six touchdowns while the Broncos signal-caller completed just nine passes.

After the game, the 24-year-old Tebow offered some admiration toward Brady.

"It's exciting," Tebow said when asked about how it felt to share the field with Brady. "It's a great honor to get the chance to play them in the second round of the playoffs. He's a great quarterback and he showed it once again."
