"The quarterback standing between the Patriots and a trip to Super Bowl LX is a signal-caller who hasn't attempted a pass in a game since 2023. New England's final test in a wide-open AFC will come on Sunday in Denver, with the Patriots set to take on the Broncos and new starting QB Jarrett Stidham in the AFC championship game."
"Stidham will be pressed into service after Denver's starting QB Bo Nix suffered a broken bone in his ankle during the final minutes of Saturday's overtime victory over the Bills. It remains to be seen how much Denver's offense can operate with Stidham at the helm instead of Nix, who orchestrated eight game-winning drives this season alone for the Broncos."
New England meets Denver in the AFC championship with Jarrett Stidham starting for the Broncos after Bo Nix suffered a broken ankle late in the overtime win over the Bills. Stidham has not attempted a pass in a game since 2023 and will be thrust into a high-pressure role. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye received a pre-season text from Stidham and expressed respect while hoping for a Patriots win. Patriots coach Mike Vrabel confirmed the team considered Stidham as a potential backup before signing Joshua Dobbs. Stidham is 1-3 in four career NFL starts.
