Tebow was traded to the New York Jets during the offseason after the Broncos acquired free-agent quarterback Peyton Manning. The Broncos were 1–4 before he became the starter, but began winning with him on the field, often coming from behind late in the fourth quarter, until they won their first AFC West title and first playoff game since 2005, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime. As a member of the Denver Broncos, he started the last three games of his rookie season and became the team's full-time starting quarterback beginning in the sixth game of 2011. Tebow was selected by the Denver Broncos in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
