Ja’Quan McMillian intercepted Josh Allen in overtime, and Bo Nix led the Denver Broncos into position for Wil Lutz’s 24-yard field goal that sent them to the AFC championship game with a 33-30 win

The Broncos and their newly-named starting quarterback, Jarrett Stidham, will face the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game next weekend. Denver will host its first AFC championship game in a decade.

The Patriots were favored by 5.5 points on BetMGM and by 4.5 on ESPN when the lines opened after New England’s win over the Houston Texans on Sunday. MGM now has Patriots as +250 to win the Super Bowl, second only to the Seattle Seahawks.

The Denver Broncos have reportedly signed a new quarterback after losing Bo Nix to a season-ending ankle injury.

With Bo Nix now out, and surgery scheduled for Tuesday, Stidham will take his place on Sunday and, should the Broncos win that game, in the Super Bowl on Feb. 8 too.

The Broncos scored 10 points over the final 30 seconds of the first half, marking the first time since the 1993 season that a team scored that many points to end a first half. The scoring spree for the Broncos started when Bo Nix hit Lil'Jordan Humphrey for a 29-yard touchdown pass with just 22 seconds left to play in the first half.

The Buffalo Bills fired their head coach on Monday, less than two days after losing to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional game.

Just west of Empower Field at Mile High, a rush for new Denver Broncos gear kicked off within moments of the team announcing that Jarrett Stidham will replace the injured Bo Nix as Sunday's AFC Championship starter.
