Can the Broncos Defy the Odds and Topple the Patriots in the AFC Championship Without Bo Nix?
In those two games, Stidham was 40 for 66 passing for 496 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. The Broncos were 1-1 in those games but scored a total of 30 points.
Stidham had an 85.2% well-thrown rate in those games, well above the league average of 80.8%, but he also dumped the ball off to a check-down receiver on 24.6% of his adjusted attempts, more than double the NFL average.
Although over a small sample size, the advanced numbers of Stidham’s play in 2023 paint a picture of a conservative game plan. The Broncos will likely play a field-position game to lean on their defense and take pressure off Stidham.
