The Vikings maintained a lead, 22-21, heading into the fourth quarter. But they also discovered what Tim Tebow's other opponents have learned this season:

As ugly as his game is, he won't go away.

Tebow led the Broncos to a 35-32 win after a 23-yard-field goal as time expired finished the scoring bonanza.

After a first half in which the Broncos had one first down and 48 yards of offense, Tebow completed a 17-yard pass on the first play of the second half. McGahee followed with runs of 11, 14 and 9 yards. Later, Tebow completed the 78-yard scoring drive with a 21-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas on third-and-9.

The Vikings came back with a 52-yard touchdown pass to Percy Harvin.

But the Broncos returned the ensuing kickoff 63 yards to the Vikings 41-yard line. Tebow then scrambled for about forever, extending the play long enough to dump the ball to a wide-open Thomas, who took the ball for 41 yards and a touchdown.

Tebow's third-quarter numbers: 3 of 4, 79 yards, two TDs.
