Tim Tebow’s second start of the 2011 season was an unmitigated disaster. Tebow and the Denver Broncos were blown out 45-10 by the Detroit Lions at Sports Authority Field yesterday afternoon. The Broncos drew first blood on a Matt Prater field goal in the first quarter, but then proceeded to give up 45 consecutive points until Tebow connected with Eric Decker for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Tebow completed 18 of his 39 passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns – one to his own team, one to Detroit’s Chris Houston, who returned an interception 100 yards for a score. Tebow was sacked seven times and lost a fumble on one of them, which also was returned for a touchdown. The Broncos fall to 2-5 on the season with the loss. They visit the Oakland Raiders next Sunday.
