The NFL world received shocking news Saturday night when Broncos coach Sean Payton revealed that quarterback Bo Nix would miss the rest of the playoffs with a broken ankle suffered on the second-to-last play of Denver’s thrilling overtime win over the Bills.
Nix had just led Denver to the AFC championship game, completing 26 of 46 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns to one interception. When Payton announced Nix’s surprising injury, he mentioned that backup QB Jarrett Stidham would be ready to go as the Broncos will turn to the seventh-year pro for the rest of their playoff run.
