NFL Playoffs: Unexpected Star Emerges

A substitute should carry the Denver Broncos to the Super Bowl; for quarterback Jarrett Stidham, the NFL semifinals against the New England Patriots will be the game of his life.

Hype? Autograph requests? Selfies? None. Nobody wanted anything from Jarrett Stidham when the football pro took a trip with his kids earlier this week. “No, I was incognito, nobody noticed,” the Denver Broncos quarterback replied when asked if he had been recognized. That is likely to change quickly, as the replacement man will be thrust onto the big NFL stage out of nowhere this weekend.
