He's revived a foundering Denver franchise with last-minute magic. Tim Tebow's next challenge is rebounding from the worst game of his NFL career.
Tebow threw four interceptions in a 40-14 loss at Buffalo on Christmas Eve, two of which were returned for touchdowns in a 19-second span.
If Tebow was shaken by the four-interception game, he isn't showing it, insisting "my confidence is just fine."
That faith will come in handy Sunday when Tebow tries to beat the guy he couldn't beat out in training camp -- Kyle Orton, who brings Kansas City (6-9) to Denver with a shot at spoiling the playoff hopes of a team that shunted him aside.
The Broncos (8-7) can clinch the AFC West and their first playoff berth since 2005 with a win. They could also lose Sunday and make the postseason if San Diego beats the Raiders.
Asked if he's confident he has the better quarterback for this matchup, Broncos coach John Fox replied: "Well, we made that decision, you know. As I always say about anything, looking forward, time will tell."
The Broncos might have to face Orton with a makeshift secondary. Safety Brian Dawkins left last week's game with a recurring neck injury. Starting safety Quinton Carter pulled a hamstring and nickel back Chris Harris hurt his neck, too.
Cowboys: All the negative tests on quarterback Tony Romo's bruised throwing hand are positives for Dallas. Coach Jason Garrett said the swelling is going
down and that a number of different tests confirm the original diagnosis of nothing being broken in Romo's right hand. All indications are Romo will be ready for Sunday's game at the New York Giants that will determine who wins the NFC East and goes to the playoffs. The Cowboys (8-7) will be without starting guard Montrae Holland, who was put on injured reserve with a partially torn left biceps.Vikings: Minnesota expects running back Adrian Peterson to be recovered from left knee surgery for two torn ligaments in time to start the 2012 season. "Adrian has the DNA to heal quickly ... and the mental toughness to be able to get through the rehab process, which will take months and months," head trainer Eric Sugarman said. Peterson, who signed a seven-year, $100 million contract extension before the season, was hurt during a 33-26 win over Washington on Saturday.
Rams: Justin King (shoulder injury) became the fourth St. Louis cornerback to be sidelined with a season-ending injury. Previously, Ron Bartell, Brandon Fletcher and Al Harris were knocked out for the year. ... Coach Steve Spagnuolo said quarterback Sam Bradford is day to day with a high ankle sprain. The Rams host the 49ers on Sunday.
Bengals: Cincinnati offered refreshments to fans who lined up for a ticket promotion aimed at filling Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday. The Bengals made a buy-one, get-one-free offer to season ticket holders. Cincinnati (9-6) would clinch a wild-card playoff berth by beating Baltimore (11-4). The Bengals have sold out just one home game, when Pittsburgh brought thousands of fans to the stadium.
