Less than 24 hours after the Broncos beat the Bills in overtime, they faced the shock of losing starting QB Bo Nix to a broken ankle and moved quickly to ensure three healthy quarterbacks for the AFC Championship in Denver, signing veteran Ben DiNucci to the practice squad. 🏈😮🔒
Nix broke his ankle on the third-to-last play of overtime but stayed on the field for two more snaps before Wil Lutz drilled a 23-yard field goal to seal the win and send Denver to its first AFC Championship in a decade. 🏥⏱️🏆
Longtime backup Jarrett Stidham will start the next game, with Sam Ehlinger as his backup and DiNucci presumably serving as the emergency third quarterback. 🧑💼🏈🛡️
DiNucci, 29, has prior Broncos experience in 2023 and 2024, and he previously started one NFL game for the Dallas Cowboys in 2020, going 21-of-40 for 180 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in a 23-9 loss to the Eagles. 🧩📊🏈
