The Denver Broncos hosted the New England Patriots for the winner-takes Super Bowl berth in the AFC Championship game at Mile High on Sunday.
The home team changed quarterbacks for the game since starting quarterback Bo Nix needed a season-ending knee surgery following his injury against the Buffalo Bills last week. In Nix’s place, Jarrett Stidham started his first NFL game since 2023. On the other hand, Drake Maye started the game for the Patriots.
