Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix sustained a season-ending ankle injury in overtime during the team's dramatic 33-30 victory against the Buffalo Bills. The injury occurred with just over six minutes remaining in overtime, prematurely ending Nix's participation in the ongoing playoffs. This unfortunate turn of events means Nix will not be available for the crucial AFC championship game.
Despite the significant loss of their starting quarterback, the Broncos are set to rely on Jarrett Stidham. Coach Sean Payton expressed confidence in Stidham's abilities, stating he is prepared to lead the team. Stidham will assume the starting role for the upcoming AFC championship game, aiming to steer the Broncos through the remainder of their playoff push.
The Broncos' victory over the Bills was hard-fought, with Nix contributing significantly before his injury. He completed 26 of 46 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns, orchestrating go-ahead drives at the end of regulation and overtime. The team now advances to face the winner of the Houston Texans vs. New England Patriots game in the AFC championship.
