Denver’s Nightmare: Bo Nix Injury, Stidham Reality, Wild QB Ideas  
Podcast: Evan & Tiki
Published On: Mon Jan 19 2026
Description: The conversation turns fast when the news drops: Bo Nix broke his ankle, had surgery, and is officially out for the season. The guys rewatch the play trying to figure out how it even happened, point out the subtle tells on the very next snap, and talk through how stunning the timing is with Denver heading into the biggest game of the year. Then it takes a hilarious detour into Sean Payton’s postgame comments, when he tries to console Nix with a “second-year QB history” claim that instantly sets off Evan’s internal fact-check alarm. From there, the segment spirals into the real-world problem: can Denver actually bring in anyone off the street, or is it Jarrett Stidham by default? They run through the names people always throw out, why most of them are unrealistic or unavailable, and what it would actually take for the Broncos to survive against the Patriots with their season flipped upside down overnight.
