Even if Jarrett Stidham’s job as the Broncos’ backup quarterback wasn’t on the line, he sure played like it was Saturday night at Empower Field.
Letting it fly throughout the first half of Denver’s 41-0 win over the Los Angeles Rams to wrap up the preseason, the fourth-year pro produced his best performance since signing with Denver in the offseason.
Among the highlights was a 50-yard completion to rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. in the first quarter initially ruled a 75-yard touchdown — a play Stidham didn’t see because he got the wind knocked out of him.
