Tebow has up-and-down outing in bid to make team, Pats beat Giants 28-20 in preseason finale

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Tim Tebow threw two touchdown passes and one interception and the New England Patriots beat the New York Giants 28-20 on Thursday night.

In an up-and-down performance in both teams’ last preseason game, Tebow had a 52-yard touchdown pass and a 13-yard run. He was 6 for 11 for 91 yards. He also gained 30 yards on six carries for the Patriots (3-1).

The third-string quarterback also was sacked four times. But he ended his game with a 9-yard touchdown pass with 6 seconds left.

Tebow’s future with the team wasn’t much clearer than before the game started.

All teams must reduce their rosters to the regular-season limit of 53 players by 6 p.m. EDT Saturday, and coach Bill Belichick has given no indication of whether he will keep Tebow.
