Nix's Return Boosts Broncos' AFC West Title Hopes

On April 29th, the Denver Broncos snagged the AFC West Crown last season and locked down the number one seat in the AFC,

riding high with Super Bowl, dreamed.

But Star Quarterback Botanix went down with a fractured ankle in their divisional round win over the Buffalo Bills,

sidelining him for the AFC.

Championship against the New England Patriots were back up Jared Stidemstepton.

Earlier this week, NFL insider Ian Rappaport dropped the latest on Nix during the Pat McAfee show and on X.

He had a routine follow-up cleanup procedure on that ankle, nothing out of the ordinary,

and all signs say he'll be good to go for the 20.

26 season opener, fans are buzzing about what a healthy Nix could mean after Denver came so close to

another Super Bowl run. The injury stung, especially washing the paths fall to the Seattle Seahawks in

the big game, but the Broncos future still look solid with Coach Sean, Peyton calling the shots.

Meanwhile, the division stays stacked, with the Kansas City Chiefs rebuilding their defense and

nursing Patrick Mahomes back from a torn ACL, plus the Los Angeles Chargers stacking playoff appearances.

New offensive coordinator Davis Webb adds fresh energy to the mix.

Bottom line, a full-strength Nix gives Denver real shot at repeating as AFC West Champs,

and one of the league's toughest battles. Keep an eye on those off-season moves.
