His most recent action came in relief of starter bow nicks during a playoff loss, where he threw for 133 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Team mates and coaches rave about Stidham as a steady leader in the locker room. Head coach Sean Payden strongly supports him, and with the third string quarterback hitting free agency, Denver sees him as a reliable number two.
