Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham takes the stage Sunday in Mile High as the Denver Broncos face the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game at 3:00 p.m. ET on CBS.
Stidham, making his first start since 2023, aims to defy odds against a Patriots team led by MVP finalist QB Drake Maye. A Broncos victory would send a top-seeded Denver squad to Super Bowl LX and, given starting QB Bo Nix's season-ending injury, provide them an avenue to complete one of the most unlikely championship runs in modern NFL history.
Below, we'll take a look at Jarrett Stidham's stats and make a pick on his PrizePicks projections vs. the Patriots in this AFC Championship Game bout.

- Stidham averaged 248 passing yards in his two 2023 Broncos starts (272 and 224 yards) while operating in head coach Sean Payton's system.
- The Patriots' defense allowed Texans QB C.J. Stroud to pass for 212 yards on 47 attempts, completing just 42.6% of his passes in the Divisional Round.
- Denver average 37.4 pass plays per game — fifth-most in the NFL — and Nix aired it out 46 times in the Broncos' overtime Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills.
- If Stidham held true to his career average of 7.2 yards per attempt, he’d need roughly 29 tries to reach 205 passing yards in the AFC Championship Game.
