Bo Nix's wife, Izzy, sent a strong message after the Denver Broncos lost in the AFC Championship Game to the New England Patriots.

Pat Surtain retweeted (and later removed his retweet for) a post that implied Bo Nix would have beaten the Patriots.

The quarterback will miss the AFC championship on Sunday because of the injury he suffered last weekend.

Nix had surgery and should be good to go for most of the offseason work in Denver.

When it comes to the two-minute drill — when it comes to find-a-way-make-a-way situations — willpower is the penultimate attribute that separates the good from the great. Nix's will to win in critical situations — when the game is on the line — has emerged as a bona fide elite trait.

The Broncos were the only NFL team to place three players among the league’s top 15 in dropped passes during the regular season, per Pro-Football-Reference.com — wide receiver Courtland Sutton (eight), tight end Evan Engram (eight) and running back RJ Harvey (seven). No wonder a 15-4 record feels like such a Boverachievement, in retrospect.

"Sometimes a momma can’t make it better. Sometimes she just has to stand back and watch them walk through it," Krista Nix wrote of Bo Nix's injury.
