Broncos coach Sean Payton details the circumstances of learning about Bo Nix's season-ending ankle fracture:
"As he comes over [to the sideline], I kind of chest bump him, jab him, like, 'Fricking A.' And he's like, 'Careful.' It was then I'm like, 'You all right?' And he said, 'Yeah.' He goes, 'But, man, it's hurting.' And I said, 'What do you got?' He said, "My ankle," and I said, 'All right.' I said, 'You'll be fine,' and I tapped him in the chest again. I said, 'Just enjoy this field goal.' And so, we come in afterwards and at that point it's -- everyone's in there and celebrate. And I came and did the presser with you all. When I came back from that press conference, Beau (Lowery), our medical trainer, George (Paton), there was a group in my office and I knew -- they didn't say anything, but I knew there was something. We always meet after the game and discuss injuries, but that was early. And they said, 'Look, there's a fracture.' Showed me the x-ray. Immediately I walked down the hall. Bo was kind of sitting outside the locker room, leaning up against the wall. His wife, his parents, his family there, I think Stiddy, a few others. And I just asked him how he was doing, 'Are you hanging in there?' And I said to you guys last night, this is a strong-minded individual. Obviously it was disappointing right at that moment to get to this point. And so, that's essentially what took place after the game."

.@Broncos @texans one reason the Broncos are a great defensive team is their mentality to never catch or stay blocked ....they have a plan. across the board. to defeat blocks and NEVER stay blocked. This is beautiful football #BaldysBreakdowns
