Tim Tebow made his preseason debut Sunday to a loud ovation in Philadelphia, a crowd so boisterous he actually tried quieting fans at the line of scrimmage.
Seriously.
Everyone’s favorite backup quarterback was shown immediate love on Twitter and started trending nationally as soon after he entered the game for the Eagles.
The former Heisman winner completed 6-of-12 passes for 69 yards and rushed for a 7-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter of a 36-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Commence Tebow Mania:
“Tebow” is trending. He still wins the internet.

Tebow converts a third and long and then fumbles an exchange with running back in shotgun and then slings another 1st down. Crowd loving it

Caitlin is yelling at the tv to put tebow in. I’m just enjoying the buffalo chicken dip she made in his honor — Clemson Tom (@ClemsonTom) August 16, 2015

Tebow is 🚮🚮🚮🚮, enough already — Kyle Neubeck (@KyleNeubeck) August 16, 2015
Made it to work. Saw Tebow throw the ball out of bounds and take a bad sack. I always miss the good stuff.

Tebow’s indecisiveness costing him today. Ball has to come out sooner, even if it’s a throwaway. — Nick Fierro (@NickFierro) August 16, 2015
You can really appreciate Tebow’s arm strength on this QB spike disguised as a throw. #2012twitterarchives https://t.co/hqdbdrBSk8

Watching Tebow play QB reminds me of when I was a kid playing Madden and I thought to myself “What if I put my RB at QB?” — Brendan James (@LoonSquad_) August 16, 2015
Tim Tebow out there trying his hardest, battling those demons

Tebow plays and the Eagles win. He’s the GOAT. I predict he’ll be Superbowl L MVP.
