The Denver Broncos ' 33-30 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs came at a major cost.
After his initial postgame press conference had concluded, Broncos coach Sean Payton came back to the podium to announce that starting quarterback Bo Nix suffered a season-ending ankle-injury on one of the final plays of the game.

Payton said it happened one play before Nix threw a deep pass to Marvin Mims that resulted in a pass interference penalty, setting up Denver's game-winning field goal. One play before that throw, Nix injured his ankle on a designed QB run to the left.

After that two-yard loss, Nix threw a deep pass to Mims that resulted in a 30-yard DPI foul. Nix then took a knee to spot the ball in the middle of the field, setting up a 23-yard game-winning field goal for Wil Lutz .
Nix will undergo surgery on Tuesday with Dr. Norman Waldrop performing the surgery in Birmingham, Alabama, according to KUSA-TV's Mike Klis . Dr. Waldrop is an orthopaedic surgeron that specializes in foot and ankle surgery.
