Former Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is facing serious fallout after reports tied him to a Christian financial group accused of using predatory sales tactics.
Tebow was back in Denver for the Broncos’ home opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he planted the alumni flag before the Broncos’ 20-13 win over the Jags. But that feel-good moment has been overshadowed by an episode of “Pablo Torre Finds Out” and reporting from the Associated Press, The Athletic, the Denver Post and other outlets.
According to Matt Moret of The Athletic, the Life Surge Christian group Tebow has been doing speaking engagements for is accused of pressuring people to hand over thousands of dollars for financial advice that didn’t pay off. The Athletic reported the Life Surge course cost upwards of $20,000, and that people who couldn’t afford it were reportedly urged to borrow thousands of dollars from third-party lenders.
Torre and Mother Jones both spoke with several people who said they saw little or no return on their investment. Other reports say people were pushed hard to make life-changing financial decisions, with one Life Surge staffer allegedly telling them that “the devil” was behind their doubts. Life Surge has denied the allegations.
Tebow said he is taking the claims “extremely, extremely seriously,” and added that he is “pausing” his relationships with Life Surge while his team conducts its own investigation. He also said he was “caught off guard” by the allegations.
Mother Jones reported that Tebow spoke at 20 Life Surge events in 2024 and 2025, and that he is on track to speak at another 20 this year.
The situation also lands awkwardly for the Broncos, who are in negotiations with multiple community groups to help fund their Burnham Yards stadium project. It is still unclear whether the backlash from Tebow’s connection to Life Surge will affect that funding effort.

Broncos Lose Promising Rookie Back Just As His Role Was Growing
Just as Jonah Coleman was starting to carve out a larger role in Denvers offense, the Broncos are forced to shelve the rookie running back for a bit. Coleman is being placed on short-term injured reserve after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the game against Jacksonville, a setback that lands hard for a player whose workload had been trending up.
Coleman still powered through the Jaguars game and finished with 39 rushing yards, a touchdown and three catches, a reminder of why the Broncos had begun leaning his way. The encouraging part for Denver is that the injury is not expected to end his season, with a return target in late October against the Arizona Cardinals now in view, but the wait comes at a moment when his growth had started to matter.

Broncos Have A Real Sunday Night Path If One Battle Swings Their Way
Denver has spent the week digging into the Rams with the same kind of detail work that usually comes before a prime-time chess match, and the Broncos read on the matchup is pretty clear. Los Angeles still presents a major problem at quarterback, but there are also places the Broncos believe they can press their advantage, especially if they can create stress around the line of scrimmage and force the Rams into uncomfortable situations.
One of the more interesting pressure points is on the edge of the Rams protection, where Dotsons pass blocking has stood out as a vulnerability. The Broncos also see a chance to make life harder on Landman, whose issues in coverage and against the run have shown up on film. If Denver can win those individual battles, Sunday night starts to look less like a full-on test and more like a game the Broncos can tilt in their favor. [Read more 🡒]
Bo Nix And Broncos Face A Brutal Test Against Aaron Donald
Bo Nix knows the Broncos are walking into one of the leagues toughest individual matchups when they line up against Aaron Donald, who is back after a two-year retirement and still carrying the kind of reputation that changes a game plan by himself. Denvers young quarterback didnt try to minimize the task, and offensive coordinator Davis Webb called Donald a game-changer as the Broncos began sorting through how they want to handle the Rams star in the matchup.
For Denver, the challenge is less about stopping Donald outright than keeping him from wrecking the rhythm of the offense. That means protection, discipline and a clear plan from the Broncos front, because even a handful of disruptive snaps from Donald can tilt a game in Los Angeles favor. Nix and the Broncos know the assignment, and the next step is finding out whether their approach can hold up when the pressure starts. [Read more 🡒]
