Tebow's scramble leads to Broncos' winning kick

Published: Aug 27, 2011 at 05:29 PM

DENVER -- Kyle Orton led the Broncos back from a shaky start with two touchdown drives, and the defense throttled Tarvaris Jackson in a 23-20 preseason victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night.

Jeff Reed tied the score at 20 with a 53-yard field goal with 1:16 left in regulation, but Tim Tebow had a 19-yard scramble in leading the Broncos downfield for Steven Hauschka's 51-yarder as time expired.

The Broncos (2-1) sacked Jackson five times, with Von Miller getting two and Elvis Dumervil 1.5. Dumervil missed last season after tearing a chest muscle in training camp shortly after parlaying his 17-sack season into a big contract.

The Broncos sputtered without him and chose Miller out of Texas A&M with the second overall draft pick in April. Miller has three sacks in the preseason.
