The winner of the AFC championship game in Denver will face either the Seattle Seahawks or Los Angeles Rams — who clash in the NFC championship game — in the February 9 (AEDT) Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California.
The Patriots won six NFL titles from 2001 to 2018 before superstar quarterback Brady departed in 2019.
After missing the playoffs for three straight seasons, the completely rebuilt Pats put together an impressive 14-3 regular season.
Their chances of doing just that appeared to get a massive boost when Denver quarterback Bo Nix suffered a season-ending broken ankle on the penultimate play of the Broncos’ overtime triumph over the Buffalo Bills last week.
Jarett Stidham — a seventh-year quarterback who hasn’t attempted a pass in two seasons and was previously Brady’s back-up — will get the start for the Broncos.
