The Pats have not fared well in postseason games played in Denver, losing four games in four tries, three of them with Tom Brady at QB.

Despite plenty of rumors on possible veteran quarterbacks Denver could sign ahead of the AFC Championship, all signs point to the Broncos starting Jarrett Stidham against the Patriots. Head coach Sean Payton made this clear after announcing that Nix would miss the remainder of the season.

Brady led the Patriots to eight consecutive AFC Championship games from 2011 to 2018, winning five of those games. He faced Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game in 2018.

After the Denver Broncos lost Bo Nix to an injury, the former NFL star Richard Sherman wants to see Tom Brady play.

Broncos cannot sign Tom Brady after Bo Nix’s season-ending injury due to NFL rules and Brady’s ownership stake in the Raiders.

With Nix sidelined before the AFC Championship, Sean Payton may have to think far outside the depth chart -- and even outside the league

The New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos will take the field on Sunday with the AFC championship on the line. Drake Maye and the Pats booked their spot in the conference championship game with a win over the Houston Texans in the divisional round. The Broncos, on the other hand, defeated Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.
