"QB Bo Nix, who had a breakout season in his second season under HC and quarterback guru, Sean Payton, broke a bone in his right ankle and will undergo season-ending surgery this week. Nix, with the help of a stifling defense, led the Broncos to the top seed in the AFC, and fans had Super Bowl aspirations for the first time since 2013."
"Payton addressed the media after the game, and broke the news of the unfortunate injury and impending consequences of said injury. The head coach had some choice words for the media and anyone else watching the post-game news conference. Stiddy's (Jarrett Stidham) is ready. He's ready. I said this at the beginning of the season I've got a 2 (backup) that is capable of starting for a number of teams. And I know he feels the same way. So, watch out."
Bo Nix broke a bone in his right ankle and will undergo season-ending surgery this week after the overtime win over the Buffalo Bills. Nix had a breakout second season under head coach Sean Payton and helped lead the Broncos to the AFC's top seed behind a stifling defense. The injury occurred three plays before Will Lutz's game-winning field goal during a sequence featuring a designed quarterback run, an incompletion, and a questionable pass interference call on Tre'Davious White. Payton stated that backup Jarrett Stidham is ready to start. Stidham entered the league in 2019 with the New England Patriots and has appeared in 20 games. Uncertainty remains whether the Broncos have enough quarterback depth to win the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl.
