One rival executive isn't so sure whether the Denver Broncos will be worse off with Jarrett Stidham at quarterback instead of Bo Nix.

Jarrett Stidham wouldn't be the first backup quarterback to enter midseason and lead his team to a championship.

Broncos offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey has no doubts Jarrett Stidham can sub in for Bo Nix and brighten Denver's fortunes in the upcoming AFC Championship Game versus the New England Patriots.

Denver Broncos quarterback Jarrett Stidham has proven himself to be a capable backup here in Denver. Stidham was originally signed by the Broncos in 2023, to backup then-quarterback Russell Wilson. After the Broncos benched Wilson at the end of 2023 and drafted Bo Nix in 2024, Stidham found himself in a competition for the starting job.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix injured his ankle during his team's game against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, Jan. 17, according to coach Sean Payton. Jarrett Stidham is set to take over as the starting quarterback.

Patriots fans are sharing their longtime superstitions ahead of their big AFC title game in Denver against the Broncos.
