Broncos' Riley Moss has an incredible reaction to Patriots' plan to 'pick on' him

In the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots AFC Championship Game matchup, there will be a lot of focus on the Broncos' offense against the Patriots' defense.

Jarrett Stidham is taking over for an injured Bo Nix, and it's not going to be an easy matchup for Denver. But, on the other side of the ball, thanks to Patrick Surtain II, one Broncos cornerback might have just as tough a matchup.

DNVR Broncos on Twitter/x shared an incredible reaction from CB Riley Moss to being asked if he anticipates getting "picked on" during the Championship game. Moss is ready for the action and is excited to get a lot of balls thrown his way from Drake Maye.

Broncos' Riley Moss has an incredible reaction to being 'picked on' by Patriots

"Yeah, no doubt," Moss said. "And you know, the entire world knows that, I know that, you guys know that. It's going to be exciting. I'm excited for it. It's going to be a good challenge. It's going to be sweet. So yeah, I look forward to it."

Moss is fully prepared to draw a lot of attention against the Patriots on Sunday. Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte will be downfield options for Maye, and Moss might have a long day against those two receivers.

But, he's ready and excited to be "picked on" by the Patriots in the AFC Championship game. It's a great response from Moss, as the Broncos cornerback isn't shying away from a tough matchup this playoffs.

This season, Moss has been targeted 118 times, and he's allowed 859 yards receiving and four touchdowns. While it may seem like a lot of production, his 88.2 passer rating allowed is the best of his NFL career.

Since he's been targeted often this season, Moss has racked up 19 passes defended, the most in the NFL this season. He also has one interception and has 80 tackles on the year.

With Surtain on the opposite side of the field, it's only natural that opposing offenses will go after Moss. Not necessarily because he's a weak link defensively, but because of how good Surtain is as a corner.

Even with all of the attention expected to come his way, Moss is ready for the challenge and isn't shying away from the expected heavy target volume in the AFC Championship game.
