FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- If that was Tim Tebows last play for the New England Patriots, it was one of his best. Trying to the very end to secure his roster spot, Tebow threw his second touchdown pass with six seconds left and the New England Patriots beat the New York Giants 28-20 on Thursday night in the final preseason game for both teams. Now its up to coach Bill Belichick to decide if Tebows work from the day he joined the Patriots on June 11 to the moment he walked off the field after his perfectly-placed, 9-yard fade toss to Quentin Sims was enough to keep him. Tebows "not sure" if his performance helped his chances but he didnt plan to worry before teams cut their rosters to the regular-season limit of 53 by 6 p.m. EDT Saturday. His plans? "Go to sleep when I get home, wake up, come work out, watch the film," he said. "See what I did good, see what I did bad, try to learn from it and get better." Belichick wouldnt tip his hand despite being peppered with questions at his post-game news conference. Asked why he might keep Tebow as a third quarterback when hes had just two in three of the past four seasons, Belichick said, "Whatever we do will be whatever we think is in the best interest of this football team, the 2013 team, whatever that is at any position." Tebow was 6 for 11 for 91 yards and one interception and gained 30 yards on six carries for the Patriots (3-1). He also was sacked four times. Leading 21-20, the Patriots took over on downs at the Giants 9. Tebow then lofted a pass into the deep right corner and free agent rookie Sims came down with it for his second touchdown of the game. "All training camp, me and Tim have connected on that a few times," Sims said. "Coach put a big emphasis on wanting to do that, so it was good we connected." Tebow had played poorly in the first two preseason games and didnt play in the third. The Patriots went without nearly all of their starters, including Tom Brady, Danny Amendola, Vince Wilfork, Jerod Mayo and Devin McCourty. The Giants (1-3) used their regulars, including Eli Manning, for the first three series. "We did what we had to do defensively," end Justin Tuck said. "We played the run better." Manning left with a 7-0 lead after throwing a 3-yard touchdown pass to Hakeem Nicks with 56 seconds left in the first quarter. It was only New Yorks third offensive touchdown in four games. Manning went 6 for 9 for 74 yards and a touchdown. After Manning left, Ryan Nassib, David Carr and Curtis Painter played quarterback. "It was good to have some success offensively," Manning said. "Obviously, we havent had a lot of success (inside the 20-yard line), so it was great to get down there and throw the touchdown." Giants backup running back Andre Brown broke his left leg on the first play after the two-minute warning in the first half but said he doesnt need surgery. "I didnt feel a pop, which is a good thing," Brown said. "I would love to stay on the active list, thats how small the fracture is." Ryan Mallett played the first half for the Patriots and Tebow had a solid start in the second with completions of 5 yards to Aaron Dobson and 11 yards to Daniel Fells on two of his first three plays. Then he was sacked on four of the next six plays -- having trouble finding a receiver on some and getting little protection from backup linemen on others. Tebow had his best series of the preseason on his fourth possession. He showed a strong arm on three passes beyond the reach of receivers and completed two to Sims, an 11-yarder for a first down then, after being booed on a long incompletion, the 52-yarder for the touchdown. "He had the boo birds out the play before and then he comes back to throw the touchdown," Mallett said. "It just shows what kind of player he is, his character." Tebow hit Sims over the middle and he ran the remaining 39 yards, scoring with 12:26 left in the game as the Patriots took a 21-20 lead. Tebow trotted slowly to the end zone where he and Sims congratulated each other, then went to the sideline where he and Mallett jumped into each other in celebration. "I think Ive improved in a lot of ways," Tebow said. "One, learning this offence. Two, understanding more decision making. Getting the rhythm, understanding all the guys that Im playing with." Mallett went 10 for 16 for 117 yards with a 40-yard scoring pass to rookie Josh Boyce for a 14-7 lead midway through the second quarter. Free agent rookie George Winn scored New Englands first touchdown on a 1-yard run just 2 1/2 minutes earlier. Josh Brown kicked field goals of 35 and 48 yards for New York and Painter threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to DaRel Scott.

Clearance Kevin Durant Shoes . -- During Kansas shootaround on Wednesday before the Jayhawks faced Oklahoma, coach Bill Self told Wayne Selden Jr.VANCOUVER -- Martin Rennie faces more tough lineup decisions when the Vancouver Whitecaps visit the Colorado Rapids in Denver, but hes not complaining. Unlike in many previous cases this season, the Whitecaps coach can base his decisions Saturday on several options rather than necessity. Rennie has fewer lineup concerns because he does not have to deal with as many injuries as he has in previous weeks, while suspensions and international absences are not factors either. "Its much better than not having choices," said Rennie after a practice this week. "At certain points in the season, weve just not had the choice of who we can play, but now weve got that, and I think it pushes everybody a little bit higher." The Whitecaps (10-7-6) are unbeaten in seven of their past 10 games. Rennie has options up front, in midfield and on the back line as they try to break a tie for second place in the Western Conference with the Rapids (9-7-9), who are unbeaten in five games. Arguably, Rennies most difficult decision will come on the back line as he determines whether to insert veteran central defender Andy OBrien, a commanding presence on the pitch, who has been out since early June with a hamstring injury. OBriens return could break up an effective partnership between Johnny Leveron and Carlyle Mitchell, who appears the most likely to be moved to the bench. The duo has filled in admirably while the Caps have coped with injuries to the back line that are easing but still taking their toll with Brad Rusin (ankle) and captain Jay DeMerit (torn Achilles) out. "Its nice for us to have a little bit of competition, because we havent had that," said Rennie. "For many weeks, we didnt even have a centre back on the bench. So its nice to have to make a decision on who starts, and that will be a difficult decision." Striker Darren Mattocks return from a knee injury that required surgery last month also means that Rennie can rest Kenny Miller, who scored a goal in Scotlands friendly against England in London on Wednesday and has travelled across the Atlantic twice this week. Whatever he decides, Rennie can be confident that replacements will be up for the task. "Obviously, were still just building our team and I think that we want to be improving all the time," he said. "But weve scored more goals thhis year than weve scored in the whole of last year (and 2011), and theres still a third of the season, so thats a positive sign.dddddddddddd ... But were also making saves at the other end, and defending well and starting to possess the ball better. So weve got a lot to build on. "But the last few games dont matter so much. Its just about this next one." Coaches in all sports love internal competition, and Rennie is no exception. While the Whitecaps are much more stable than they were a year ago, when a series of mid-season roster changes led to a summer swoon in the standings, the competition for jobs is much higher. "When I first arrived, there was a lot of building to be done of the team," he said. "There was a lot of adjustments that we had to make. There was a number of players that probably werent quite at the level that we thought. But I think the squads getting stronger. It needs to just keep improving. "But I think you saw when we played Portland away we were missing six or seven key players, and the guys who came in did really well (as the team earned a draw.) So the squads much deeper than it was before, and theres more competition than there was before, and thats what we want." Mattocks said he felt burdened to carry the team offensively last season, but Camilo and Miller, who both scored in a 2-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes last week, have lightened his load in a difficult season. DeMerit said the battle for jobs is much different than it was when he arrived on the scene with Vancouvers 2011 expansion club. But in order to succeed as a team, players must accept the increased competition and expectations. Midfield still remains somewhat of a question mark. Gershon Koffie, who played a holding midfielder role against San Jose for the first time and performed well, is expected to play the same role in Denver. So the engine-room crew is not expected to change much in Denver. But Rennie has the comfort of knowing that he can make revisions if he wants to.
