The Broncos have quite the test ahead of them this coming Sunday as they get set to take on the Patriots in the AFC championship game. When they do, they’ll line up not only with a trip to Super Bowl LX on the line, but with a different player under center than who’s led them throughout the regular season.
Following Denver’s divisional round victory over the Bills last Saturday night, coach Sean Payton informed reporters that starting quarterback Bo Nix suffered a broken bone in his ankle that will force him to miss the remainder of the playoffs. As a result, the Broncos will now turn to seventh-year pro Jarrett Stidham to try to lead them to their first big game appearance since 2013.
