Broncos Rally Around Stidham, Vow Revenge

0:00On March 27, the Denver Broncos fell short in the AFC Championship game with a narrow 3-point loss to the New England Patriots. Their starting quarterback, Bonix, suffered a fractured ankle right after an overtime victory against the Buffalo Bills, forcing back up Jared Stidom into a tougher leaf roll. Patrick Sertain, the second, the team's all pro cornerback recently defended Stidom on a podcast. He pointed out how unfair it is to blame the backup, who had him played all season, and stepped into the highest stakes game at a blistering pace. Players felt the injury like a gut punch amid the celebration over beating Buffalo. Emotions ran high, but the hit deflated the locker room, testing their resolve just before facing the Patriots. Head coach Sean Payton has built a strong sense of brotherhood which helped the team rally. That unity influenced their choice to bring back most of the roster for next season. With Nick's now cemented as their franchise quarterback, the Broncos are channeling this adversity into fuel.
