"At 3 pm ET on CBS, the Patriots take on the Broncos in a game that will feature Jarrett Stidham taking snaps for Denver. Bo Nix led the Broncos to a 33-30 win in overtime against the Bills last week, but broke his ankle on the second-to-last play, setting up the game-winning field goal. He is out for the rest of the playoffs, and it falls to backup Jarrett Stidham, who hasn't thrown a pass in a regular-season or playoff game since 2023."
"On the other side, Drake Maye threw 3 touchdowns last week for the Patriots, who picked off CJ Stroud 4 times to beat the Texans 28-16. Maye fumbled 4 times (lost 2) but overcame the turnovers to make some big throws, including one that ended with an insane TD catch by Kayshon Boutte. The Pats are looking to reach their first Super Bowl since the 2018 season, while the Broncos haven't been to the NFL's biggest game since 2015."
"In the NFC, we have the Rams and Seahawks meeting for a third time after splitting their two regular-season games. The game kicks off at 6:30 pm ET on FOX, and the loser will be sent packing while the other will be playing for a Lombardi Trophy. The Rams won an epic 20-17 game in overtime against the Bears in the Divisional Round. Kyren Williams had 2 rushing touchdowns, and the defense picked off"
