As the AFC Championship Game approaches, all eyes are on the Denver Broncos as they prepare for a tough matchup against the New England Patriots. Former Broncos safety Justin Simmons is throwing his support behind backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham, insisting there’s no drop-off in performance between Stidham and the injured starter, Bo Nix. Simmons believes Stidham’s experience training alongside legends like Tom Brady has equipped him to seize the moment.
Despite not having many starts in his career, Simmons emphasizes Stidham’s intelligence and ball accuracy, suggesting he can rally the Broncos in this high-pressure situation. With the stakes higher than ever, fans are left to wonder whether Stidham can truly rise to the occasion or if he’ll falter under the spotlight. Either way, the anticipation for this game continues to build as the countdown to kick-off begins. Can a backup quarterback really steal the show?
