Mile High Report • • sports
Key Points:
- The Denver Broncos will face the AFC Championship game without starting quarterback Bo Nix, who suffered a broken ankle and is out for the playoffs.
- Despite Nix's injury, the Broncos maintain home field advantage and face a New England Patriots team that recently struggled offensively in a snowy game.
- Backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham, a seasoned NFL veteran and former Patriots draftee, is expected to lead the Broncos' offense with a focus on ball security and making key plays.
- Historical precedent shows backups can succeed against the Patriots in crucial games, as seen with Brock Osweiler in 2015 and Nick Foles in 2017.
- With head coach Sean Payton, a strong defense, and home crowd
