The NFL playoffs are a relentless experience. The Denver Broncos just learned that in a massive way when Sean Payton announced that Bo Nix suffered a season-ending ankle injury ahead of the AFC Championship game.

The Philadelphia Eagles know a thing or two about quarterback injuries when games matter the most. The New England Patriots are well aware that they cannot underestimate Jarrett Stidham and Denver in a matchup to clinch a spot in the Super Bowl, too – thanks to a former Eagles QB.

Nick Foles fuels Broncos’ hopes of beating Patriots to reach Super Bowl

During the Chicago Bears-Los Angeles Rams Divisional Round game, former Eagles QB and Super Bowl champion Nick Foles poked some fun at the Patriots

“Note for the Broncos and their fans: I know it has been an emotional 24 hours. I feel for Bo and the team, and I’m sending prayers for a strong recovery. A positive note going into the game versus the Patriots is that they struggle against backup QBs in championship-type games.” — Nick Foles via X/Twitter

Foles, of course, won Super Bowl LII MVP after throwing for 373 yards and three touchdowns in place of starting QB Carson Wentz. Foles etched his name into Eagles history in an unimaginable way with the performance, topped off by his touchdown on the “Philly Special” to lead the Eagles to a title.

Wentz suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 14, thrusting Foles into the starting role. While that allowed him some time to prepare for the postseason, it was still a last-minute push to get up to speed. No one truly expected him to lead the Eagles to the promised land, but he did.

The former Eagles QB understands what it takes to come in cold off the bench and play meaningful snaps and find success at the highest level. Now, Denver is hoping to get a memorable performance and a potential Super Bowl-winning run from their backup in the AFC.
