Link to storyDenver Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham will be 'ready to go' for the AFC Championship Game, according to head coach Sean Payton. 'But one of Stiddy's strengths is his mental aptitude and his progressions and understanding plays,' Payton said. 'He's very accurate. He's a got a lot to his ball.'
| Footballguys view: Stidham is a seventh-year veteran backup but made just one appearance in the 2025 season, logging four snaps in Denver's Week 8 win over Dallas. He hasn't seen extended action since 2023, when he started the final two games of the season in place of the shelved Russell Wilson. As NFL.com notes, the Broncos boast a top-tier defense, but injured starter Bo Nix is the engine that makes their offense go. Nonetheless, Payton said he knows his team will respond with a Super Bowl berth on the line next week. "Stiddy's ready, and we'll be ready for the next challenge." |

Link to storyMiami Dolphins senior passing game coordinator Bobby Slowik is a target of the Philadelphia Eagles for their offensive coordinator position. The Eagles have requested an interview.
| Footballguys view: Slowik, the former offensive coordinator of the Texans for two seasons, joined the Dolphins as the senior pass game coordinator in 2025. In his first year as Houston's offensive coordinator in 2023, the Texans ranked seventh in the NFL in yards per game (245.5) and second in pass plays over 25 yards (41). Slowik played a key role in C.J. Stroud's development during his rookie season and helped him have a historic one. Year 2 didn't go as well, and Slowik was fired. But a year working under Mike McDaniels in Miami has him back on the radar. |
