Broncos' Garett Bolles on loss to Patriots: 'If we had Bo Nix, it would be a different ballgame'

Our Summary

The Denver Broncos' offensive tackle Garett Bolles has attributed the team's loss in the AFC Championship Game to the absence of quarterback Bo Nix. Nix suffered a broken ankle during the Broncos' Divisional Round overtime victory against the Buffalo Bills, sidelining him for the 10-7 defeat against the New England Patriots. Bolles expressed confidence that the outcome would have been different with Nix on the field, praising Nix's leadership and abilities. The game featured a critical fourth-down decision by head coach Sean Payton and challenging weather conditions, but Bolles emphasized that having Nix could have changed the result. Despite the disappointment, Bolles looks forward to the future with optimism for Nix's recovery.
