Bo Nix fractured his ankle, out for year

Our Summary

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix will miss the AFC Championship Game after fracturing his right ankle during a 33-30 overtime win against the Buffalo Bills. Broncos head coach Sean Payton confirmed that Nix will undergo surgery, effectively ending his second season. Jarrett Stidham is set to step up as the starting quarterback, with Sam Ehlinger as backup. Nix sustained the injury on the second-to-last play in overtime, shortly after a 30-yard interference penalty set up the game-winning field goal. Despite completing the game, Nix's absence will be significant for the Broncos as they advance in the playoffs. Nix completed the game with 26 completions out of 46 attempts, totaling 279 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.
