Despite problems with their running game, the Broncos won't use Tim Tebow in short-yardage situations.
"We're not going to do that in short yardage," Josh McDaniels said. "People who mention that, I don't know, that's ridiculous."
Tebow has not played since taking two snaps and rushing for 2 yards against Jacksonville on Sept. 12.
The Broncos haven't discarded the "Tebow Package" pages from the playbook, but McDaniels appears to have no plans to use Tebow in place of a tailback.
"Snapping the ball to a shotgun quarterback on third-and-1? If we can't get a third-and-1 some other way, we've got bigger problems," McDaniels said.
