"He was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2019 draft and started a grand total of zero games for them. There were some mitigating factors such as backing up Tom Brady in his first season in the NFL. But when Cam Newton came to town in 2020, he was the backup Brian Hoyer's backup so New England clearly didn't think too highly of him."
"Will history repeat itself? It certainly might need to, regarding Denver's defense dominating, as backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham starts in place of the injured Bo Nix, who broke his ankle in the victory last week over Buffalo. The 29-year-old replacement has not started an NFL game in two years and in four career starts is 1-3. So a lack of any significant game experience will have New England's defense confident of ruining his big day."
Jarrett Stidham, a 2019 fourth-round pick who started zero games for the Patriots, gets a start after Bo Nix broke his ankle. Stidham backed up Tom Brady and later became a low-priority backup when Cam Newton arrived, leaving him with four career starts and a 1-3 record. Denver’s defense has historical dominance in big games, including shutting down Tom Brady in a 20-18 AFC Championship and winning Super Bowl 50 against the Panthers. Sean Payton will simplify the playbook to reduce costly mistakes while adding plays that use Stidham’s scrambling ability.
