Broncos Fans Have Six Days To Talk Themselves Into Jarrett Stidham
Key Points:
- Jarrett Stidham, the Denver Broncos' backup quarterback, will start in the AFC Championship Game after Bo Nix's injury, despite limited meaningful play since 2023, raising concerns about Denver's offensive prospects against the New England Patriots.
- The Patriots' recent defensive performance, notably limiting Houston's C.J. Stroud to a poor passing game with four interceptions, suggests they will challenge Stidham to make plays under pressure, likely focusing on stopping the run and forcing turnovers.
- Stidham has NFL experience and has been re-signed by the Broncos through 2025, showing some promise in preseason and previous games, but his regular-season highlights remain limited, casting doubt on his readiness for a high-stakes playoff game.
