The Denver Broncos have a rich history at the quarterback position, with both John Elway and Peyton Manning ranking among the top 10 greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
Even the third-best quarterback in franchise history, Jake Plummer, had some success with the team, leading the Broncos to the AFC Championship Game in 2005. All of these quarterbacks had special plays, but they all have one thing in common: none of them were drafted by the Broncos.
What about the quarterbacks the team has drafted? It’s not a very good list, which is why Tim Tebow, who was drafted in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, is a great trivia answer that will leave many fans stumped.
Can Bo Knicks help the Denver Broncos win a playoff game?
Who is the only quarterback to have won a playoff game? The answer is Tim Tebow.
It may be hard to believe, but it’s true: The Broncos defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round after the 2011 season, and in that January game, Tebow played his best game as a pro and one of the best plays in team history.
The last overtime wild card game was in 2011 between the Broncos and Steelers.

Brock Osweiler, Jay Cutler, Brian Griese and Tommy Maddox have all never won a playoff game with the Broncos. Could Bo Nix be the man to change that?
That’s certainly the hope in Broncos Country, as the team has a terrible history with drafted quarterbacks.
