"Most of the conversation surrounding the New England Patriots as they prepare to take on the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship has not been that favorable to the winners of the AFC East. That mainly came about once their opponent announced that their starting quarterback, Bo Nix, had broken his foot and wouldn't play in the biggest game of their season."
"It's led head coach Sean Payton to hype up interim starting QB Jarrett Stidham, who the Patriots drafted in 2019, as better than just a backup and a player who could be starting for several teams across the league. Clearly, the Patriots somewhat agree about his talent, given that they were interested in signing him this past offseason. But it didn't take long for Milton Williams to point out a fatal flaw that Denver seems to forget about."
The Patriots prepare to face the Broncos in the AFC Championship after Denver announced starting quarterback Bo Nix broke his foot and will not play. Nix's injury shifted attention to New England's postseason and renewed questions about the difficulty of the Patriots' schedule and their legitimacy as a serious playoff team. Broncos head coach Sean Payton promoted interim starter Jarrett Stidham as more than a backup and a potential starter for multiple teams. The Patriots showed interest in Stidham last offseason. Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams dismissed Stidham's starter credentials, noting Nix's draft status and day-one start.
