The Denver Broncos are gearing up for their AFC Championship Game showdown despite suffering a significant blow with the season-ending injury to quarterback Bo Nix. In a bittersweet 33-30 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills, Nix suffered a broken right ankle, which will sideline him for the remainder of the season. In Nix's absence, the team will rely on backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham, a former New England Patriots draft pick, who has not thrown a pass in two seasons and has only four career NFL starts. However, head coach Sean Payton remains optimistic about Stidham's chances, citing his progress and work ethic over the past three seasons. "I know how McDaniels felt about him when he brought him from New England to Vegas," Payton said of Stidham. "But ultimately, it's our three years here, watching him day in and day out, that you guys don't have access to. He will be ready to go and ready for the moment.\
