It was the worst timing for Bo Nix as he suffered a broken ankle at the end of the Denver Broncos’ victory against the Buffalo Bills, costing the quarterback a chance to play in the AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots.
The Broncos would go on to lose to the Patriots, 10-7, in a game played in a blizzard in the second half. Denver head coach Sean Payton was heavily criticized for not taking a field goal in the first half that would have given the Broncos a 10-point lead. Now, he is under fire from his starting quarterback, Nix, for what he has said about his injury.
