Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos have to be wondering what could’ve been if the quarterback didn’t get hurt. The team came a play or two away from making it to the Super Bowl with backup Jarrett Stidham in an ugly, snow-filled loss at home to the New England Patriots. Nix’s wife had an emotional message the night of the defeat.

The second-year quarterback out of Oregon, Nix, had quite the season, and had Broncos fans riding high after defeating the Buffalo Bills in an overtime thriller in the divisional playoff round. About an hour after the game he learned his ankle had a broken bone and his season was finished.

Bo is expected to make a full recovery and be back to full strength in around three months — plenty of time before August when preseason starts.
