Jarrett Stidham has bounced around since he was selected in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. But on Sunday, the veteran got his first opportunity to start for the Denver Broncos.

Stidham was named the starter for Week 17 after Super Bowl winner Russell Wilson was abruptly benched, partly due to an apparent injury guaranteed in his contract. Stidham had somewhat of an uneven performance this past Sunday, but he did enough to help lift the Broncos to a 16-9 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Broncos win marked Stidham's first win of his NFL career as a starter. The victory also sparked a reaction from one of Stidham's biggest supporters, his wife Kennedy.

"Last home game, first start in the orange & blue, first career win!!" Kennedy wrote over a photo that was put on display on the big screen at Empower Field, which read: "WIN."

Kennedy is a former Baylor University soccer player, the school where Stidham's college football career began. The quarterback eventually transferred to Auburn.
