"The Denver Broncos will face the New England Patriots in next Sunday's AFC Championship with backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham starting. Luckily for the Broncos, backup quarterbacks have found postseason success against the Patriots. Just ask Nick Foles. The Patriots and Broncos are matched up with a spot in Super Bowl LX on the line, and Foles was quick to point out a quirk that could be in Denver's favor."
"Foles was referring to his memorable Super Bowl LII performance when he led the Philadelphia Eagles to a 41-33 victory over the Patriots. He won MVP honors after throwing for 373 yards and three touchdowns, outlasting Tom Brady and a team coming off a Super Bowl win. Foles even caught a touchdown on a memorable trick play called "Philly Philly," also known as the "Philly Special.""
The Denver Broncos will play the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship with Jarrett Stidham starting after Bo Nix fractured his right ankle on the third-to-last play of the 33-30 win over the Buffalo Bills. Stidham has not started since the final two games of the 2023 season and holds a 1-3 record in four career starts. Nick Foles noted that the Patriots struggle against backup quarterbacks in championship-type games, citing his Super Bowl LII MVP performance when he threw for 373 yards, three touchdowns and caught a touchdown on the "Philly Philly" trick play. Stidham will attempt to replicate that postseason success to help Denver reach its first Super Bowl.
