Bo Nix just lived through one of the wildest 24 hours in recent NFL playoff history. According to ESPN and the official Denver Broncos organization, yesterday the Broncos quarterback led yet another comeback victory, this time a 33 to 30 overtime win against the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round. That's his ticket to the AFC Championship Game. But here's where it gets brutal. Three plays before the game winner, Nix suffered a fractured bone in his right ankle that will sideline him for the rest of the postseason.

The injury happened on a designed run play with about six minutes left in overtime. Bills safety Cole Bishop pulled him down, and Nix seemed to shake it off initially. But on the very next play, during a kneel down, his ankle twisted awkwardly and gave out completely. According to Sports Illustrated, what's absolutely wild is that moments after the game, video captured Nix walking around the stadium with zero limp, congratulating teammates on the victory. Even Payton commented on it, calling him a tough cookie and comparing his trajectory to Patrick Mahomes—saying he's only the second quarterback in his second year to take his team to a conference championship.

According to ESPN's injury analyst, Nix will have surgery this Tuesday in Birmingham, Alabama. The fracture is unstable and will require hardware implantation. Recovery from ankle fracture repair typically runs ten to twelve weeks, with full function restoration taking three to four months. The timeline suggests he should be ready for the 2026 regular season assuming no complications.

Now the Broncos pivot to backup Jarrett Stidham, who's been with Denver since 2023 when coach Sean Payton brought him in. Stidham lacks Nix's mobility but isn't afraid to push the ball downfield. The team's got legitimate weapons with maybe the best offensive line in football and a stacked defense, though their playoff hopes took a massive hit losing their electric young quarterback.
