The Denver Broncos have a rich history of play at the quarterback position. Both John Elway and Peyton Manning are on any respectable list of the top 10 quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL.
Even the third-best quarterback in team history, Jake Plummer, had some success with the team, taking the Broncos to the 2005 AFC Championship Game. While all of those quarterbacks did special things, they all have one thing in common — none of them were drafted by the Broncos.
What about the quarterbacks that the team has drafted? That's not nearly as good of a list. And that is why Tim Tebow, drafted in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, is the answer to a fantastic trivia question that often stumps many fans.
Can Bo Nix win a playoff game for the Denver Broncos?
Who is the only quarterback to win a playoff game? Answer, Tim Tebow.
Believe it or not, that is a fact. The Broncos defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round following the 2011 season. Tebow had his best game as a pro that January day and it featured one of the best plays in the team history.
The last OT Wild Card game was 2011 Broncos-Steelers.

Brock Osweiler, Jay Cutler, Brian Griese and Tommy Maddox all never won a playoff game for the Broncos. Will Bo Nix be the guy that changes this?
That is certainly the hope of Broncos Country as the team has a putrid history of drafted quarterbacks.
