Jarrett Stidham

Who? Well, he's the backup quarterback for the Denver Broncos, and he will start next week's AFC championship game after Bo Nix broke his ankle on the second-to-last play of the game Saturday. Denver's defense at home may well be good enough to advance anyway against the Patriots or the Texans, but they're not really a good running team. Stidham has four starts in his career and a 1-3 record with a QB rating around 78.

Stidham did nothing special during his years in NE as back-up, so if the Pats can win today, then facing Stidham next week might be the route to another Super Bowl appearance for the Pats. And he won't have any inside info on this Pats team, as there's been an almost complete turnover since his time here.
