With Bo Nix out for the season, Denver’s starting QB for next Sunday’s AFC Championship Game will be Jarrett Stidham. His backup now will be Sam Ehlinger.
The Daniel Jones Achilles injury is awful in so many ways.
But I do want to shed a light on his toughness.
He was already playing with a broken bone in his fibula… Then he ruptured his Achilles and still chose to walk off the field instead of using a cart.
And later in the game, he was back on the sideline supporting his teammates and helping QB Riley Leonard.
This man’s toughness, competitiveness, and love for the sport and his teammates are unquestioned.
And that deserves respect.

The Denver #Broncos have made the playoffs despite a league-high $89M of total dead cap, and the largest single season dead cap hit in NFL history (Russell Wilson, $53M).
