The Broncos have fired OC Joe Lombardi, NFL Network reports. Lombardi spent the past three seasons leading Denver's offense under HC Sean Payton and also spent 12 seasons under Payton in New Orleans. Denver's offense has been just fine under the Payton-Lombardi battery, ranking between 10th and 19th in points all three years. The Broncos did climb in total yards each season, from 26th to 19th to 10th. We'll see who's tabbed to replace Lombardi, but we wouldn't expect sweeping changes to the offense with Payton remaining at the helm.

Broncos QB Bo Nix is expected to be sidelined for 12 weeks after undergoing surgery to repair his broken right ankle this past week, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That timeline would have Nix back on the field in mid-April. He'll miss the early portion of the offseason program but should be a full-go well before training camp. Barring a setback, we're not expecting the ankle to impact Nix's 2026 campaign.

Broncos QB Bo Nix needs surgery for a broken ankle suffered in Saturday's win over the Bills and will miss the rest of the playoffs, HC Sean Payton announced. It's unclear when Nix suffered the injury, as he didn't miss a single snap vs. Buffalo. We'll look for more info on Nix's injury and timeline for return, but it's unlikely to impact his 2026 season. It's obviously a brutal blow to the Broncos' playoff hopes, though. They'll turn to QB Jarrett Stidham in next Sunday's AFC Championship vs. the Patriots or Texans. Stidham has not thrown a regular-season pass since 2023. He started the final two games of the season for Denver that year, completing 60.6% of his passes at 7.4 yards per attempt with two TDs vs. one INT.

Update: Nix fractured a bone in his right ankle on the second-to-last play of overtime and will have surgery on Tuesday, Payton said.

After a four-game slide where it appeared that Troy Franklin had lost his status as Denver's No. 2 WR, a hamstring injury suffered by Pat Bryant opened the door for Franklin to reassert himself as an integral part of Denver's passing attack. And he took advantage of the opportunity. Franklin caught all 6 of his targets for 85 yards and 1 TD in Denver's 34-26 win over the Green Bay Packers.

Broncos QB Bo Nix endured a predictably tough passing day in Sunday's matchup with (arguably) the league's best defense in Houston. He completed just 18 of 37 passes for 173 yards. Nix did connect for a pair of TD passes, though, including one early in the fourth quarter. Nix also racked up 34 of his 36 rushing yards on the team's final drive, setting up the game-winning FG.

Broncos QB Bo Nix went off for 279 passing yards and 4 total scores in Sunday’s stunning comeback win over the Giants. Nix recorded 170 passing yards and all four TDs in the fourth quarter alone, supporting the QB1 fantasy finish for Week 7.

Broncos QB Bo Nix didn't come close in Week 5 to matching his big fantasy score against Cincinnati the previous week. But we didn't expect him to. Nix posted season-high numbers at home against a floundering Bengals defense in Week 4. Sunday's game found him on the road against a Philadelphia defense that hasn't been as good as last year -- 14th in total DVOA, 11th vs. the pass -- but posted a much bigger challenge. Nix struggled through the first half at Philly, going just 10-of-21 for 79 yards. But he went 14-of-18 after the break for 163 yards, 1 TD, and the 2-point conversion pass to WR Troy Franklin that put his team ahead.

After averaging 178.3 passing yards in his first three games of the season, QB Bo Nix shredded the depleted Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football to cap off Week 4. Nix threw for 326 yards and 2 TDs and rushed 6 times for 7 yards and another score as the Broncos ended their 2-game losing streak.

Broncos QB Bo Nix managed just 153 passing yards in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. He went 14-of-25 passing, with 34% of his yards and the lone passing score coming on a 52-yard deep connection with WR Courtland Sutton. The game featured several other long balls that overshot their targets, but the locker room proved far more supportive than accusatory afterward.
