DENVER, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Denver quarterback Tim Tebow's spectacular game-winning touchdown toss against Pittsburgh Sunday touched off a record number of "sports tweets," Twitter said.
Tebow's 80-yard scoring strike to Demaryius Thomas in overtime -- which carried the Broncos to a 29-23 win over the Steelers in an AFC wild-card game -- was the subject of a 9,420 tweets per second, the social media Web site announced Monday on its own Twitter account.
