Jarrett Stidham Named Broncos Starting QB for AFC Championship After Nix Injury

Denver Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham will start the AFC Championship game following Bo Nix's season-ending ankle fracture. Nix sustained the injury in the divisional-round win over the Bills, forcing Stidham into action. Stidham has not attempted a pass this season and last started in 2023, completing 60.6% of passes for 7.4 YPA with two TDs and one INT in two games. He now faces the Texans or Patriots with a Super Bowl berth at stake.
