The Broncos will host the Patriots in Sunday's AFC championship game, and the AFC West champs will have a different look to their offense as backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham will be under center in replace of Bo Nix, who suffered a season-ending injury last week against the Bills.
All eyes will be on the 29-year-old signal-caller who hasn't started a NFL game since 2023. Broncos fans are hoping he will be able to lead their team to their first Super Bowl since Peyton Manning's brief tenure with the franchise, while Patriots fans are hoping he won't be able to rise to the occasion on what will be a very big stage.
