Jarrett Stidham stats today: Updated passing line, highlights for Broncos QB starting AFC championship vs. Patriots originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
For the first time in over two years, Denver Broncos quarterback Jarrett Stidham is starting a meaningful NFL game.
The backup has been thrust into the starter's role with Bo Nix out for the season due to a season-ending ankle injury. Stidham last threw a regular-season pass in January of 2024, when he started two games for the Broncos to finish the season.

Here's a look at how Stidham is performing on Sunday.
