NFL Playoffs TV Schedule for Sunday Includes Tim Tebow Taking on Steelers for Right to Play PatriotsThe Tim Tebow show gets its first exposure on the big stage when the Broncos host the Steelers on Sunday. There will be 21 other players on the field and even an early game, but just about everybody seems fixated on how Tebow will perform against the league's top defense.

Take a look at Sunday's matchups below.

Atlanta Falcons at New York Giants
MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, N.J.
1 p.m. ET, FOX
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman
Giants (-3)
Falcons running back Michael Turner stumbled down the stretch, failing to rush for more than 76 yards in five straight games before rumbling for 172 yards in Week 17 against horrid Tampa Bay. Eli Manning had the best regular season of his career, which gives the Giants the edge at home.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos
Sports Authority Field at Mile High
4:30 p.m., CBS
Jim Nantz and Phil Simms
Steelers (-9)
Ben Roethlisberger did not look very healthy in the Steelers' last two games, throwing three interceptions and no touchdowns combined in a loss to the 49ers and a victory over the Browns. Tebow has a chance to redeem himself after closing the season on a three-game losing streak. The winner plays the Patriots in the divisional round.
