The Denver Broncos have advanced to their first AFC Championship game since 2015 after beating the Buffalo Bills in overtime by a score of 33-30.

However, this victory came at a grave cost when it comes to the health of Denver's starting quarterback, Bo Nix.

When speaking to the media after Saturday's big win, Denver head coach Sean Payton said, “On the second-to-last play in overtime, Bo fractured a bone in his right ankle. He’s scheduled to have surgery [on] Tuesday of this week, which will put him out for the rest of the season. [Backup Jarrett] Stidham is ready to go.”

Since Payton's comments, the belief about Nix's injury has shifted. The 25-year-old quarterback had a run to the left with about six minutes remaining in overtime and could be seen limping as he got up. This is now when Nix is thought to have initially suffered the injury.

But the timing of Nix's injury ultimately doesn't matter. What does is that he's sidelined for the rest of this season, which means that Jarrett Stidham needs to step up and become the Broncos' new leader on the field.
