PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh mayor Luke Ravenstahl said he would 'Tebow' in front of a Pittsburgh landmark while wearing a Broncos jersey if his Steelers lost to Denver mayor Michael Hancock's Broncos in the AFC Wild Card Playoff Sunday.
He probably never thought he would have to actually do it.
Nevertheless, Ravenstahl has made good on his bet, striking the pose while sporting a white Tim Tebow jersey in Roberto Clemente Park.
The Broncos beat the Steelers 29-23 on an 80-yard touchdown pass from Tim Tebow to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime. The Steelers erased a 10-point fourth quarter deficit to tie the game and had a chance to win in regulation, but the Broncos' defense kept the Steelers out of field goal range on the final possession.
The Broncos won the coin toss and put a quick end to any dramatics that could have resulted from the first ever overtime game played with the new playoff rules. Tebow's pass to Thomas was the longest in the history of an NFL overtime.
Had the Steelers won, Hancock would have had to wear a Steelers jersey and wave a "Terrible Towel" during a public event.
Tebow earned his first playoff win and his first win this season against a team that finished the season with a winning record. The Broncos play the Patriots in the Divisional Round Saturday evening.
