Uneven Tim Tebow shakes off rust against Colts

Uneven Tim Tebow shakes off rust against Colts, The Tim Tebow era began in Philadelphia to raucous applause, so much in fact that he had to wave his arms to quiet down the crowd. Welcome to life as the most popular fourth-string quarterback in the country.

On a relatively smooth first drive, which should have resulted in a field goal, the former Heisman Trophy winner went 4-of-5 for 43 yards and a nice run. His new throwing motion has eliminated much of the hitch that plagued him for three NFL seasons, but it didn't matter on any of the following drives as Tim Tebow spent a majority of his time evading Colts defenders.


On the night, Tim Tebow finished 6-of-12 for 69 yards. He added 15 yards on the ground, including a seven-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter.
