Getting your player ready...

Denver Post Broncos beat reporters Parker Gabriel and Luca Evans provide an inside look at what it was like to cover Denver’s wild, 33-30 OT win vs. Buffalo on Saturday night and then learn of Bo Nix’s fractured ankle an hour after the game.

Then the conversation turns to Jarrett Stidham and what he and the Broncos must do to pull off an upset, beat New England on Sunday and punch a ticket to the Super Bowl. It’s not the AFC Championship Game that people expected when Nix engineered go-ahead and game-winning drives against the Bills, but there are compelling storylines across the board.

All of that and more on the latest edition of the 1st & Orange Podcast.
