Maybe the halftime ceremony that honored the 2008 national champion Florida Gators gave Tim Tebow a boost. Or maybe the second half is just "Tebow Time."

The Broncos didn't get on the scoreboard until there was 2:44 remaining in the game. But after completing just three passes in the first half, Tebow threw for two second-half touchdowns to force overtime and eventually give Denver its second win.

Tebow completed 13 of 27 passes on the day for 161 yards and two touchdowns.

The two scores came on both sides of a successful onside kick by the Broncos, with the latter capped by a two-point conversion on a quarterback draw that sent the game into overtime at 15-15. Tebow ran the ball eight times for 65 yards.

The Broncos were forced to punt in overtime, but the ensuing Dolphins drive was ended abruptly by linebacker D.J. Williams' strip-sack. Kicker Matt Prater sealed the Broncos' win, pushing them to 2-4, while the Dolphins remain winless at 0-6.
