The Broncos WAGs are ready to ride into the playoffs.
Shortly after Denver ended its eight-season playoff drought with a 38-0 blowout win over the Chiefs on Sunday, the wives and partners of Broncos players took to social media to celebrate as the team prepares to face the Bills on the road in the wild-card round.
“BUFFALO BOUND!!!!!!!!” Izzy Nix, the wife of rookie quarterback Bo Nix, exclaimed in an Instagram Story, where she posed on the field at Mile High with Nicolette Dellanno, the fiancée of fellow signal-caller Zach Wilson, and Kennedy Stidham, who is married to backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham.
Nix, who led Denver to a surprise 10-7 record in his first season under enter, went 26-for-29 with 321 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Chiefs, who rested several of their starters after locking up the AFC’s top seed.
“Our goal wasn’t just to make the playoffs, even though it hadn’t been done in a while,” Nix said postgame, according to the Broncos’ website. “It’s for a lot more than that. We’re excited about the opportunity. I know it’s going to be tough, but we’ve got a game to play.”
No matter the outcome, it’s been a season to remember in Denver, which has seen a special bond between its quarterbacks and their significant others.
Ahead of the holidays, Kennedy — who has been married to the 28-year-old Stidham for five years — gave fans an inside look at the group’s weekly quarterbacks dinner.
Stidham, a fourth-round pick out of Auburn in 2019, has been in Denver since 2023.
Wilson, the Jets’ second overall pick in 2021, was traded to the Broncos in the 2024 offseason after a rollercoaster three-year tenure in New York.
Nix, the Broncos’ 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has had a strong rookie season, throwing 29 touchdowns against 12 interceptions. He also added four scores on the ground, as well as a receiving touchdown.
The former Oregon product was the sixth quarterback selected in the first round of last year’s draft behind Caleb Williams (No. 1 to Chicago), Jayden Daniels (No. 2 to Washington), Drake Maye (No. 3 to New England), Michael Penix Jr. (No. 8 to Atlanta) and J.J. McCarthy (No. 10 to Minnesota).
Nix and Daniels are the only rookie quarterbacks who punched their tickets to the postseason.
The Broncos kick off against the second-seeded Bills on Sunday at 1 p.m.
