Episode Details

The New England Patriots face the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game, with the Pats in better shape despite missing Harold Landry. The Broncos, however, are dealing with bigger issues, including placing Bo Nix on IR and not activating their top running back. Jarrett Stidham steps in for Nix, and every Patriots player needs to bring it, especially with backup QB Joshua Dobbs hopefully staying on the sidelines. Quarterback Drake Maye faces a tough defense and must protect the football better against Denvers league-leading pass rush. Wide receiver Mack Hollins returns, and rookie left tackle Will Campbell and left guard Jared Wilson face a huge test from edge rushers. Linebacker Christian Elliss could shine blitzing Stidham, and cornerback Christian Gonzalez must keep Pro Bowler Courtland Sutton quiet. If the Patriots step up, theyre one win from the Super Bowl.
