Can the Tim Tebow formula save Glennon & the Bears? What do you think?
"In November 2011, Fox's Broncos defeated the Chiefs 17-10 in a game in which starting quarterback Tim Tebow completed only two passes in eight attempts. The Broncos rushed 55 times for 244 yards and used a gritty defensive effort to win.
With a passing attack that ranked 31st that season in yards per game (152.1), last in completion percentage (.506) and 29th in yards per pass (5.2), the Broncos scrapped their way to an AFC West title plus a playoff victory."
"It's a good formula. It works. It's worked before. It can work again.""

Can offensive formula from 'Tebowmania' help Bears? 'It can work again'
With a short week and a Thursday night game looming at Lambeau Field against the Packers, the Bears haven't had the usual time to savor Sunday's 23-17 overtime upset of the Steelers. John Fox's team was back at practice Tuesday, cramming a long day of preparation in at Halas Hall. Here's what we learned.
The Bears' formula for beating the Steelers wasn't all that unfamiliar to Fox.
For those still baffled by the idea that the Bears won an NFL game in 2017 with 84 net passing yards and only one completion to a wide receiver, it's worth remembering that it wasn't the most atypical offensive performance Fox has witnessed in a victory. In November 2011, Fox's Broncos defeated the Chiefs 17-10 in a game in which starting quarterback Tim Tebow completed only two passes in eight attempts. The Broncos rushed 55 times for 244 yards and used a gritty defensive effort to win.
With a passing attack that ranked 31st that season in yards per game (152.1), last in completion percentage (.506) and 29th in yards per pass (5.2), the Broncos scrapped their way to an AFC West title plus a playoff victory.
"We played (well) in the kicking game," Fox said Tuesday at Halas Hall. "We were good on defense and we led the league in rushing. It's a good formula. It works. It's worked before. It can work again."
So, yes, in a roundabout way those were Tebowmania allusions being applied to the Bears, who are attempting to succeed despite their own passing game difficulties.
