Some of the Broncos' biggest fans will be rooting for their team's wild-card game against the Bills from afar.
Before Sunday's game at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, Nicolette Delano and Kennedy Stidham, the fiances and wives of backup quarterbacks Zach Wilson and Jarrett Stidham, respectively, attended a playoff viewing party from their home. They shared the intimate scene on Instagram.
Blair Sutton, wife of wide receiver Courtland Sutton, served as emcee, and the Broncos WAGs were treated to avocado toast, yogurt parfait, mini pancakes, sliders, mimosas, and more, with Denver trailing Buffalo 7-3 in the early going. I watched him take the lead. first quarter.
In his first playoff start, rookie quarterback Bo Nix completed a 43-yard touchdown pass to rookie wide receiver Troy Franklin.
Nix, 24, and Franklin, 21, were both selected by Oregon State in the 2024 NFL Draft, with the quarterback taken 12th overall and Franklin taken in the fourth round (102nd overall).
The Bills held a 21-7 lead into the third quarter.
It was a thrilling season in Denver, with the Broncos going 10-7 in Nix's first season as manager and qualifying for the playoffs for the first time in eight years.
The quarterback is supported by veterans Wilson, 25, and Stidham, 28, and his wife, Izzy Nix, has developed a close friendship with Delano and Kennedy.
Just last week, Izzy posted a group photo with Kennedy and Delano at Mile High as the Broncos swept the Chiefs to secure the No. 7 seed in the AFC playoff race.
“Buffalo Bound!” Izzy exclaimed on her Instagram Story.
The Knicks were selected in the first round of last year's NFL Draft, behind Chicago's Caleb Williams (first pick), Washington's Jaden Daniels (second pick), New England's Drake Maye (third pick) and Atlanta's Michael Penix Jr. He became the sixth QB to be taken (No. 8) and Minnesota's JJ McCarthy (No. 10).
Nix and Daniels are the only rookie quarterbacks to make the postseason, and the managers will face Tampa Bay in the NFC wild-card round on Sunday night.
Stidham is a six-year veteran who has been with the Broncos since 2023.
Wilson, the Jets' No. 2 overall pick in 2021, was traded to Denver last offseason.
