Bo Nix Suffers Season-Ending Ankle Fracture in Playoff Win

Bo Nix led the Denver Broncos to an overtime victory, securing an AFC Championship berth, completing 26 of 46 passes for 279 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception, plus 29 rushing yards. However, he suffered a season-ending fractured ankle on the second-to-last play and will undergo surgery Tuesday. Jarrett Stidham is confirmed to start the AFC Championship game in his place. The injury is not expected to impact Nix's 2026 season, but it significantly impacts the Broncos' immediate Super Bowl quest.
