Denver Broncos vs. New England Patriots - Live Discussion
The top two seeds in the AFC will square off for a chance to advance to Super Bowl 60 today. The Denver Broncos will host the New England Patriots without their star quarterback Bo Nix who was lost to injury during last week's divisional round victory. All eyes on Jarrett Stidham in this game as he tries to do the impossible and guide his team to the final game of the season in his first start in nearly 750 days.
Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. Mile High time on Sunday, January 25, 2026 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. The game will be called by Jim Nantz (play-by-play), Tony Romo (analyst), Tracey Wolfson (sideline), and Evan Washburn (sideline). You can watch thelive stream of the game through FuboTVor on CBS.

According to FanDuel, the Broncos opened large underdogs to the Patriots, but that line has been steadily shifting in Denver's favor. It now stands at just 3.5-points in New England's favor. I'm either a homer (I am) or I'm feeling some magic today from these 2025 Broncos. I've got them winning this game close in a 2015-repeat style 20-18 type game. The Mile High City will go nuclear if Stiddy can pull this one off. I bolieve!
Prediction:Broncos 20, Patriots 18.

Jarrett Stidham's on-field demeanor impressed Broncos this week. RT Mike McGlinchey: Was in 'complete command' from first huddle Wed. Will see how translates.

One thing some NFL coaches curious about: How Sean Payton offsets Bo Nix mobility. Lot of designed runs vs. BUF.

Jarrett Stidham, you're up.
Hell of a punt from rookie Jeremy Crawshaw.
- Parker Gabriel (@ParkerJGabriel) January 25, 2026
If last week was the punt of the year, that's a pretty good follow-up.
56 yards and angled out of bounds at the Patriots' 8-yard line.

Broncos WR Pat Bryant has hamstring injury. Questionable to return.

HUGE sequence and momentum swing. #Broncos stopped on 4th and 1. Stiddy charged with a sack and fumble. Maye runs in for TD. 7-7 late 2nd quarter. https://t.co/unt4C1pQfW

The Broncos played the end of the half perfectly to get those 3 points back. Great defensive stop and two-minute drive to set up the 54-yard FG. Too bad Lutz didn't finish it off with a successful conversion.

Patriots ball, first down.
Broncos lose a challenge and a timeout.
Josh McDaniels gets too cute with the direct snap to the RB on second down, and that unravels the Pats' drive. Broncos' top-ranked red-zone defense gets the stop, and the Pats take a 10-7 lead, capping a drive that took 9:31 off the clock.
