    John Elway has some advice for Tim Tebow when the Denver Broncos quarterback plays in his first playoff game Sunday: Don't be afraid to "pull the trigger."

    The Broncos' executive vice president of football operations told the Denver Post that it will be important for Tebow to make plays in the passing game as the Pittsburgh Steelers likely will show the Broncos eight- and nine-man fronts in order to stop Denver's running game.

    When asked if Tebow had lost his confidence, Elway said it's "human nature," especially for a young quarterback, "to become more cautious."

    Tebow, the author of a six-game winning streak and five fourth-quarter comebacks this season, has regressed over the last month. He's completed 30 of 74 passes (40.5 percent) for 439 yards and one touchdown with four interceptions, three lost fumbles and nine sacks in losses to the Patriots, Bills and Chiefs.

    After the first four-turnover game of his career at Buffalo on Christmas Eve, Tebow looked timid last Sunday against Kansas City, unwilling to throw in tight spaces. Afterward, he looked shaken over his 6-for-22 passing performance that produced a season-low 60 yards in Denver's 7-3 loss.
