There’s a strong belief within the Broncos organization that the franchise’s revolving door of quarterbacks — 14 starters since Peyton Manning retired — has ended with Bo Nix in command. The rookie quarterback led the Broncos to a 10-7 regular-season record and their first postseason appearance since 2015.

He suffered the injury during the team's win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. The injury occurred in the first half, but he was later slammed to the ground on his back by Maxx Crosby in the second half, which likely didn't help. Nix ended up completing 70.4% of his passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns in that game.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix turned heads with his comments during his final media availability of the season.
