ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Bo Nix insists he'll be the same dual-threat quarterback he was before breaking his right ankle in the playoffs and missing the AFC championship game. The Denver Broncos signal-caller said a simple misstep led to a clean break and required a straightforward fix.

The Denver Broncos earned the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs and reached the conference-championship game this season. But without quarterback Bo Nix in the lineup, Denver came up one step short of Super Bowl LX.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix suffered a fractured right ankle during his team's AFC Divisional Round win against the Buffalo Bills, and that forced him to the sidelines the following week, when his team fell 10-7 to the New England Patriots with a Super Bowl trip on the line.

Nix is on the road to recovery following corrective ankle surgery.
