Tim Tebow��s last minute upset helped to boost CBS�� TV (NYSE:CBS) ratings on Sunday night. The Bronco��s starting quarterback is well-known for his Christian faith and his ability to excel at both passing and rushing to lead his team to late game wins. The Broncos won 29-23 over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first play of overtime in the National League��s wild card game Sunday evening.
The game brought in a 25.9 rating for CBS, the highest rated wild card game in 24 years. CBS also noted that the rating was 38% higher than the rating for the wild card game last year between Baltimore and Kansas City.
CBS is undoubtedly looking forward to the Bronco��s next game against the New England Patriots on Saturday which will also be aired on the network. The game��s draw will be a fierce quarterback match-up between Tim Tebow and Tom Brady. The Patriots are favored to win, but don��t count out Tebow as he usually has a few surprises up his sleeve.
