On this episode of "Broncos in 60," Head Coach Sean Payton talks about quarterback Bo Nix, General Manager George Paton looks ahead to free agency and Owner & CEO Greg Penner discusses the team's future goals.

After being eliminated by the Buffalo Bills, the Denver Broncos have a reason to be optimistic for next season in the NFL with Bo Nix. The Denver Broncos put an end to their participation in this NFL season after a decisive defeat to the Buffalo Bills.

They signed safety Brandon Jones, defensive lineman Malcolm Roach and inside linebacker Cody Barton to modest deals. During the NFL draft, they traded a future sixth-round pick for John Franklin-Myers and quickly signed him to a reworked, two-year deal worth $15 million.

Although Burrow's Cincinnati Bengals aren't trending for the postseason, Nix and the Broncos found out the hard way that they are a playoff-caliber opponent. Herbert's Los Angeles Chargers clinched a playoff berth by defeating the Broncos.

Despite the seasonal success, the Broncos were dominated in the playoffs. Following their blowout loss to the Bills, Bo Nix's wife, Izzy Nix, posted a photo of the Broncos quarterback after the game at Highmark Stadium. "And that's a wrap," posted Izzy Nix.

On Sunday, Denver’s last chance to win and get in arrives. At 9-7 after the back-to-back losses, the Broncos would get the final wild-card berth and the No. 7 seed in the AFC playoffs with a victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Nix finished his rookie season with 34 total touchdowns, but his impact for a young Broncos team went beyond his numbers.

The Broncos were able to finally get to the postseason despite an offseason that included the biggest dead money salary cap hit in NFL history due to Russell Wilson's contract. That's akin to winning a fight with one hand tied behind your back.

Every Steelers season since 2018 has followed what’s becoming an all-too-familiar refrain. Pittsburgh has won the AFC North just once in this span and has hovered somewhere between eight to 10 wins in every other year — sufficient to cling to the “no losing seasons” line but not nearly good enough to ever be a needle-mover in the conference.

For the losers, they enter an offseason where they were close, but not close enough to make it further. This memoriam will be a look back at how each team performed in their game, and where they go from here, adding the loser of Minnesota Vikings - Los Angeles Rams here after the game goes final.

Following the Denver Broncos' 31-7 road loss vs. the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium, lead writer Aric DiLalla recaps the key moments of the game.
