On Sunday, the Patriots will charge into Denver to take on a Broncos team that's been surging lately behind the man known as the "Mile High Messiah," Tim Tebow.

The Broncos have won six straight games with Tebow as their quarterback, vaulting from last place to first in the AFC West. With each victory, Tebow, a devout Christian, is winning over the skeptics, while simultaneously igniting a new dialogue about the role of religion in professional sports.

Some say there is nothing wrong with Tebow's high-profile displays of faith. Others, meanwhile, argue that the quarterback can occasionally cross the line. Bill Littlefield of Only A Game will be in the studio to share his take.
