Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow played through considerable injuries in Saturday night's AFC divisional playoff game against the Patriots. At the start of the third quarter, Tebow tore cartilage on his first rib where it attaches to his sternum, bruised his lung and had fluid buildup in the plural space of his chest, according to a source. The injuries came as the result of a hit in the pocket when Tebow was pressured after throwing a pass. He was determined to finish the game regardless of the score. New England went on to win 45-10. Because of the severe pain, Tebow had trouble sleeping over the weekend, then spent Monday undergoing an MRI on his chest to determine the extent of the damage.
