The Denver Broncos’ divisional round clash against the Buffalo Bills was nowhere short of drama and controversy. After the former’s close-call victory on Saturday, the team’s head coach, Sean Payton,

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton sent ripples through the NFL fabric upon announcing that starting quarterback Bo Nix would miss the rest of the postseason after fracturing his ankle in the waning moments of Saturday's Divisional Round playoff win over the Buffalo Bills.

After Broncos quarterback Bo Nix’s injury, analysts floated a wild reunion between Sean Payton and a former Saints legend in Denver.

With star quarterback Bo Nix out, the Denver Broncos have moved fast to find a replacement in Jarrett Stidham. While head coach Sean Payton has expressed confidence in the veteran backup, the decision hasn’t silenced all doubts.

Sean Payton expects Vance Joseph to land a head coach job: "I think it’s not a matter of if, it’s when and who. I think it’s going to happen."

Nix broke in ankle during the fourth quarter of the Bills win and is scheduled to undergo a season-ending surgery on Tuesday. In Nix's absence, backup Jarrett Stidham will be promoted to the starting role for the remainder of the postseason.

As Sean Payton has served as the coach of the Denver Broncos, he's had the support of his wife, Skylene Montgomery.

"It means we’ve done a good job of hiring the right people," Sean Payton said of coaches drawing interest. "I want to see them realize their dreams."

Late in overtime, with the Bills having a chance to win, Buffalo QB Josh Allen threw an interception. The ball first appeared to be caught by WR Brandin Cooks, but he lost control as he hit the ground.
