"As soon as the clocks hit zero during the Patriots' win over the Texans at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, the New England knew that it would be facing a top-seeded Broncos team that is suddenly missing its starting quarterback. Denver's Bo Nix broke his ankle on Saturday during the fourth quarter of their win against the Bills. Backup Jarrett Stidham, a former Patriot, is the next man up."
"This, of course, will raise even more questions about the Patriots' remarkably easy schedule. They were dead last in strength of schedule during the regular-season, according to ESPN. After mauling a banged-up Chargers offensive line and forcing Houston's C.J. Stroud into four first-half interceptions, the Patriots are one win away from the Super Bowl. The Patriots are back, and so are the trolls. Count former Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, who won Super Bowl LII MVP for his perfomance against the Patriots in that game,"
""Note for the Broncos and their fans," Foles wrote on X. "I know it has been an emotional 24 hours. I feel for Bo and the team, and I'm sending prayers for a strong recovery. A positive note going into the game versus the Patriots is that they struggle against backup QBs in championship-type games.""
As soon as the clocks hit zero during the Patriots' win over the Texans at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, New England learned it would face a top-seeded Broncos team missing its starting quarterback after Denver's Bo Nix broke his ankle during the fourth quarter of their win against the Bills. Backup Jarrett Stidham, a former Patriot, will start. The Patriots finished with the easiest regular-season schedule per ESPN, dominated a banged-up Chargers line, and forced Houston's C.J. Stroud into four first-half interceptions. New England is one win away from the Super Bowl, and former Eagles QB Nick Foles noted Patriots' struggles against backup QBs in championship games.
