A crushing blow for the Broncos: Bo Nix's season is over due to an ankle fracture.
Denver Broncos fans, brace yourselves. In a devastating turn of events, quarterback Bo Nix suffered a fractured ankle during the AFC divisional game against Buffalo, as announced by head coach Sean Payton. This injury sidelines Nix for the remainder of the season, a significant setback for the team's playoff hopes.
During his postgame press conference, Payton revealed that Nix sustained the injury on his second-to-last play in overtime of the Broncos' hard-fought victory. The play before Nix threw the deep pass to Marvin Mims, which resulted in a penalty that set up the game-winning field goal, was when the injury occurred.
Nix is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday. The team will now turn to backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham, who will start in the upcoming AFC championship game next Sunday.
A key question is how Stidham will perform under pressure. Can he step up and lead the Broncos to victory? What do you think?
