After the Denver Broncos' wild-card round exit, rookie quarterback Bo Nix's wife, Izzy Nix, shared an emotional tribute on Instagram on Sunday. Yes, the Buffalo Bills dashed the Broncos' playoff hopes with a 31-7 win. However, for the Nix family, this season was anything but a loss.

In Izzy's first IG Story, she posted Bo's photo standing in the stands and gazing at the empty field while the jumbotron featured Bills with the caption “DIVISIONAL ROUND."

“& that’s a wrap," wrote Izzy in the caption on the overlay.

Another follow-up Instagram Story showed Bo on the field in his signature orange No. 10 jersey, posing alongside his parents and Izzy.

Izzy's final IG Story was sideline moments, featuring Bo and his teammates, Zack Wilson and Jarrett Stidham. However, Izzy's caption was the highlight of the third IG Story. It read:

"Will never find the words for this QB room & what they mean to us. They were in our corner from start to finish and believed in Bo when they certainly didn’t have to."

While the Broncos may be out of the playoffs, Bo Nix’s historic first season will always be unforgettable. It’s a big deal that in his rookie year, he made it to the postseason after the team broke a nine-year playoff drought.

Bo Nix made NFL Playoffs history in spite of a tough loss to the Buffalo Bills

The Broncos, heavy underdogs in this AFC wild-card game, fought but couldn’t overcome the Bills' offense, led by strong MVP candidate, Josh Allen.

In the middle of the playoff exit, QB Bo Nix pulled off a historic moment. He became the first rookie QB to start a playoff game in the Broncos’ storied franchise. To top it off, Nix became only the second rookie quarterback since Robert Griffin III to throw a TD on the opening drive of a postseason game.

Moreover, his connection with Troy Franklin, a 43-yard touchdown pass, also became the first rookie-to-rookie touchdown pass in the Broncos' history.

Unfortunately, Sunday wasn’t their day. However, for Bo Nix, the NFL journey is only beginning.
