Denver Broncos at Cincinnati Bengals
7:00 PM ET -- Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, OH -- NBC

Tim Tebow's NFL debut happens tonight. Tebow and the Denver Broncos face Terrell Owens, Chad Ochocinco and the Bengals in Cincinnati. Tebow has been analyzed, praised and critiqued since being selected by the Broncos with the 25th pick of the first round in April's Draft. And while he won't get the start, Tebow will likely get his first attempt to try and prove whether or not he can succeed as an NFL QB. Tonight is also the second game for "T.O." in a Bengals uniform.

Philadelphia Phillies (65-51) at New York Mets (58-58)
8:05 PM ET -- Citi Field, New York, NY -- ESPN
Starting Pitchers
Philadelphia: Kyle Kendrick (7-5, 4.60 ERA)
New York: Mike Pelfrey (11-6, 3.95 ERA)


The Phillies and Mets close out their three-game series tonight at Citi Field. The Mets look to gain a game on the Phillies, who trail the first-place Braves by just two games. To do so, Jerry Manuel's club will likely need to eliminate costly errors. The Mets committed three errors Saturday, two of which led to three runs for the Phillies who won 4-0. Philadelphia hands the ball to Kyle Kendrick tonight. Kendrick is 2-2 with a 3.34 ERA in six career starts against the Mets. New York will counter with Mike Pelfrey who is 3-0 in his career at Citi Field.
