"But, the Colorado native isn't losing faith in his hometown teams, even as a banged-up Broncos team gets set to take on the Patriots in the AFC championship game on Sunday. While a win for Denver would snuff out New England's Cinderella season and end their shot to play in Super Bowl LX, White reaffirmed his faith in the Broncos going into Sunday's showdown at Empower Field at Mile High."
"White is correct that Denver has traditionally been a house of horrors for New England in the playoffs. During Tom Brady 's two-decade run of dominance in New England, the Patriots had several promising Super-Bowl runs squandered after making the trek out to Colorado. Brady was 0-3 in his career during playoff games at Mile High, losing to Jake Plummer in January 2006 before falling to Peyton Manning in both the 2013 and 2015 AFC title games."
Derrick White plays for the Boston Celtics and remains a Colorado native who supports his hometown teams. He said he likes the Broncos and predicted they would win in Denver, noting New England has struggled there historically. Denver has been difficult for the Patriots in playoff games, with Tom Brady going 0-3 at Mile High after losses to Jake Plummer in 2006 and Peyton Manning in the 2013 and 2015 AFC title games. The 2025 Patriots have a perfect 8-0 road record, while the Broncos reached 14 regular-season wins and the AFC No. 1 seed. The Broncos will face the Patriots without starting quarterback Bo Nix, who had been a key factor in their successful regular season.
