Many in the Denver crowd came hoping to get a glimpse of the future in Tim Tebow and instead got a peek at the past.

Cornerback Dre' Bly's 47-yard interception return set up Detroit's first touchdown in the Lions' 25-20 win over the Denver Broncos on Saturday night.

Bly, who played two seasons in Denver before his unceremonious release following coach Josh McDaniels' hiring in 2009, picked off a pass against the Broncos for the second straight preseason - he did it while with the San Francisco 49ers last year.

Two plays later, Matthew Stafford connected with Calvin Johnson for a 20-yard touchdown pass.

Detroit third-stringer Drew Stanton's 25-yard touchdown on a quarterback draw with 1:53 left was the difference. Brady Quinn drove the Broncos into Lions territory in the closing seconds before Willie Young stripped the ball away and Korey Bosworth recovered.

Tebow's home debut will have to wait at least another week. He sat out with bruised ribs he suffered in the exhibition opener a week ago, much to the disappointment of throngs of Broncos fans donning his No. 15 jersey at Invesco Field.

Kyle Orton, fresh off signing a one-year extension that bought some time for the Broncos to formulate their long-term plans at quarterback, completed 16 of 22 passes for 177 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in four first-half possessions.

Orton has thrown four TD passes in seven drives this preseason despite playing behind a makeshift offensive line, with the team's top three tailbacks sitting out and a turnstile of targets catching his throws.

Jabar Gaffney caught six passes for 98 yards, all from Orton.

Stafford was 13 of 20 for 130 yards, guiding the Lions to scores on all four of their first-half drives.

In all, 16 Broncos sat out, including Champ Bailey , D.J. Williams, Daniel Graham, Chris Kuper, Spencer Larsen, Brandon Stokley, and Demaryius Thomas, the team's top draft pick.

The Broncos hope most of them return next week to play against Pittsburgh in the all-important third preseason game.

Broncos LT Ryan Clady, recovering from offseason knee surgery, did footwork drills with strength coach Rich Tuten on the field a few hours before kickoff.

FS Louis Delmas (groin) sat out for Detroit (1-1).

Bronco Notes: Orton looks good, not much work for RBs

Denver Post

• Quarterbacks: Kyle Orton has shown no shortage of confidence in training camp and played that way. In a pass-first look on offense, he led the Broncos' starters on two scoring drives, jumped on an ill-timed Bengals penalty on each of those, and completed passes to five different players on the way to 84 yards and the two scores.

Brady Quinn struggled mightily at times — at one point, his quarterback rating was 0.0 when an interception was returned for a touchdown. He finished just 6-of-16.

Tim Tebow entered the game with 4:39 left in the third quarter and found rough going at times, but he did play patiently against the Bengals' prevent look to push the Broncos on a scoring drive to finish the game.

• Running backs: Lance Ball got the start, but as a whole this group didn't get the ball much when the No. 1 or No. 2 offense was on the field. The Broncos ran the ball just three times in the first quarter — Ball got all three carries — and eight times overall in the first half, 15 times in the game.

• Jabar Gaffney, Brandon Lloyd and Eddie Royal worked with the starters out of the three-wide look, with Royal lining up in the slot much of his time. Josh McDaniels has said they want to make a concerted effort to get Royal more involved this season, and Royal's 12-yard catch, out of the right slot, was the first score.

Brandon Stokley was the third receiver when the Broncos went to the three wide with the second-team offense and did not get a snap with the regulars. Matt Willis drew two pass- interference penalties.

Walk into the Broncos' merchandise store at the team's ...

Walk into the Broncos' merchandise store at the team's Dove Valley headquarters, and it is easy to get confused.

The store screams "quarterback controversy," what with rack after rack of No. 15 Tim Tebow jerseys, in every size, color and style. You can find a No. 8, but you'll have to search for it.

Even in his own team's home store, Kyle Orton is the forgotten man.

There is a different message, though, coming from the other building at Dove Valley — the main building where the coaches' offices and the player locker room are located. Inside that facility, no one is forgetting Orton, who is having perhaps the most impressive camp of any Broncos player.

Through two weeks of camp, this much is clear: Orton is the starting quarterback and unquestioned leader of the Broncos' offense.

"I'm feeling great," Orton said. "This is still the best that I've felt, and I'm throwing the ball better than I ever have and mentally just playing at a high level right now."

In Orton's head, things are clearer. In the huddle, his voice is louder and more confident. And when the ball is snapped, it's almost as if he's a different player.

His mistakes are down — despite working without his top three running backs and behind a mostly new offensive line — and he has particularly excelled in the two-minute drill.

Fantasy Impact: 

Orton may be having a nice camp, but with shaky receivers and the projected overall ineptness of the Broncos, you don't want him anywhere near your fantasy team. Orton is behind Ben Roethlisberger in our rankings, which says it all given that Roethlisberger will be scoring zero points for at least four weeks.

Brady Quinn needs to hold off Tim Tebow to stay No. 2

Q: Is former first-round draft pick Brady Quinn still in the mix at quarterback for the Broncos? With all the Tim Tebow buzz, it appears Brady has been forgotten.

A: In terms of the public eye, Quinn has been cloaked between Kyle Orton's performance in training camp as the team's No. 1 quarterback and Tebow's immense popularity at the No. 3 slot.

It just may be the Broncos' version of witness protection.

Quinn has gone about his business in relative peace and quiet. Coach Josh McDaniels gave plenty of thought to acquiring the former Notre Dame star last season before officially trading for him this year.
