The Denver Broncos and New England Patriots are set to compete in the AFC Championship Game, with the Broncos missing Bo Nix and J.K. Dobbins, who was not activated from IR. Center Luke Wattenberg’s return is crucial for protecting quarterback Jarrett Stidham, while center Alex Forsyth is inactive, replaced by Sam Mustipher. Wide receiver Troy Franklin is also out due to a hamstring issue, prompting the elevation of Elijah Moore. Notably, Que Robinson is active, providing additional support for special teams and the defensive line.
