The Broncos’ AFC-best regular season record earned Denver a wild-card bye. Josh Allen and the Bills advanced past Jacksonville to set up a divisional round matchup with Bo Nix and Denver.
In his first playoff appearance, Nix passed for 144 yards as Denver was routed by Buffalo. That setback hasn’t dulled the second-year quarterback’s respect for Allen. During his media availability this week, Nix told reporters that he’s seen the Bills star do “superhero stuff” on NFL game days.
“He’s incredible. He’s the MVP of the league for a reason,” Nix said. “He continues to make play after play when sort of the game’s not necessarily looking like he can make the play. He just goes out there and does superhero stuff.”
Nix also pointed to Allen’s toughness as a key trait that sets the four-time Pro Bowler apart from many of his peers.
“I think one of the things that separates him is just his toughness, his ability to go play after play at his maximum velocities, his peak performance. It’s been fun to watch him play over the course of his career.”
BRONCOS’ BO NIX REVEALS STRATEGY FOR CONTENDING WITH CRITICISM: ‘I DELETE MY SOCIAL MEDIA’
“It feels like he got in the league, but he’s been in there for a while at this point, making play after play. He’s just a kind of a generational talent. You don’t see that all the time, guys as big as the defensive linemen just being able to be as athletic as skill players. It’s not normal. He has great arm strength, too. It’s one of those things where you can do it all at a high level, and it’s always been fun to watch.”
Nix finished the regular season with a league-high 612 passing attempts, racking up 3,931 yards through the air. The former Oregon standout was also credited with 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in the 2025 season.
