Bo Nix's Season Ends with Fractured Ankle; Stidham to Start AFC Title Game

Denver Broncos starting quarterback Bo Nix's season is officially over due to a fractured ankle sustained late in Sunday's playoff win over the Buffalo Bills. This injury, which occurred during the NFL divisional round, was described as turning the NFL playoffs upside down. With Nix sidelined, the Broncos will be significantly shorthanded for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots. Backup Jarrett Stidham, who hasn't thrown an NFL pass since the 2023 season, will start in his place.
