How can Sean Payton’s Broncos respond vs. Patriots after losing Bo Nix to fractured ankle? | Podcast
Jan 20, 2026
Denver Post Broncos beat reporters Parker Gabriel and Luca Evans provide an inside look at what it was like to cover Denver’s wild, 33-30 OT win vs. Buffalo on Saturday night and then learn of Bo Nix’s fractured ankle an hour after the game.
Then the conversation turns to Jarrett Stidham and wha
t he and the Broncos must do to pull off an upset, beat New England on Sunday and punch a ticket to the Super Bowl. It’s not the AFC Championship Game that people expected when Nix engineered go-ahead and game-winning drives against the Bills, but there are compelling storylines across the board.
All of that and more on the latest edition of the 1st Orange Podcast.
