The Denver Broncos went on the road to Seattle and lost a 1983 wild-card playoff game 31-7. There was a rookie quarterback named John Elway who played that day.

The Broncos must get Nix more help after his sterling rookie season, but the QB's own development will also be critical for Denver.

As the Denver Broncos begin to sift through all that was the 2024 season, they have already come away with at least one conclusion: They found their quarterback of the present and future in Bo Nix. The Broncos ended an eight-year playoff drought with a 10-7 finish but saw how much work is left to be done in a 31-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills this past Sunday in an AFC wild-card game.
