Mixed emotions permeated the Denver Broncos' locker room Monday after they ended their long playoff drought only to get blown out at Buffalo. “This year was good but not good enough,” All-Pro right guard Quinn Meinerz said as he and his teammates packed up for a later-than-usual but earlier-than-hoped-for offseason.

Josh Allen has been tough to stop but the Broncos used a series-opening 43-yard TD pass from Nix to Franklin to keep it close at the break.

He suffered the injury during the team's win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. The injury occurred in the first half, but he was later slammed to the ground on his back by Maxx Crosby in the second half, which likely didn't help. Nix ended up completing 70.4% of his passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns in that game.
