Bo Nix suffered a broken ankle during the Denver Broncos’ thrilling playoff win over the Buffalo Bills on Saturday night, head coach Sean Payton has announced.
The Broncos quarterback will now require season-ending surgery, coming as a major blow on an otherwise famous night for the franchise.
It is a devastating outcome for both Denver and Nix, who played an integral role in their dramatic 33-30 overtime victory over Buffalo at Mile High.
In his place, Jarrett Stidham will start next weekend’s AFC Championship game against either the New England Patriots or Houston Texans.
The Broncos have not contested the AFC Championship game since 2015, when they went on to win Super Bowl 50.
