Broncos’ Bo Nix’s Pregnant Wife Overwhelmed with Emotion Following Thrilling Comeback Victory

The Denver Broncos executed one of the most dramatic comebacks in recent NFL memory, clinching a nail-biting victory against the New York Giants. However, the gripping game was almost too much to handle for Izzy Nix, the wife of Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, who barely kept her composure during the thrilling match.

Izzy, who tied the knot with the 25-year-old Broncos star in July 2022, witnessed the unforgettable showdown at Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High. The Broncos managed to overturn a daunting 19-0 deficit after the third quarter to secure a 33-32 triumph over the Giants on Sunday, October 19.

Following the game, Izzy shared her relief and excitement on Instagram. “I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing,” she expressed alongside a picture with her husband on the field. Her enthusiasm for the comeback was clear as she added, “GO BRONCOS!!!!! 🤠🧡😅.”

In another Instagram Story, Izzy humorously acknowledged her anxiety during the game by noting, “My eyes may or may not have been closed 🫣😆,” as she celebrated Bo’s performance.

Bo became the first quarterback in NFL history to record two or more passing and rushing touchdowns in the same quarter. 

It’s been an eventful month for Bo and Izzy away from football, as well. 

Earlier this month, the couple announced they are expecting their first baby. “Nix party of 3!!!,” they shared via Instagram on October 10. 

When Bo and the Broncos traveled to London to face the New York Jets on October 11, the trip across the pond turned into a family affair. 

Izzy was able to spend some quality time with Bo’s mom, Krista, which she showed off on social media. 

“Thanks, Bo, for your London business trip!” Krista shared via Instagram. “He always has to work while we play but NFL London gave me an opportunity to have the sweetest week with two of my girls and a long overdue visit with my Aunt Wendy…lots of memories made!🤍 🇬🇧 👑🏈”

Before Sunday’s improbable comeback, NFL teams had lost 1,602 consecutive games when trailing by at least 18 points with six minutes to play. With 5:01 left to play, Bo rushed for a touchdown to cut the Giants lead to 26-16, after a completed two-point conversion. 

The Broncos scored all 33 of their points in the fourth quarter, the second-most points scored in a single quarter by a team in NFL history. 

“I don’t even know how we scored 33 points in a quarter, that’s kind of insane,” Bo said after the game. “It’s just whatever we had to get done, we did it … By any means necessary.”

He added, “I was thinking about how I was going to answer questions if we got shut out. Once we scored and got the 2-point conversion, it was like we knew how to play again.”

The fourth quarter saw Bo score four touchdowns. In addition to the two with his legs, Bo threw touchdown passes to wide receiver Troy Franklin and running back RJ Harvey. 

After the Broncos took a 30-26 lead, the Giants actually took the lead back with 1:14 left after quarterback Jaxson Dart scored a two-yard rushing touchdown. 

However, a missed extra point by Giants kicker Jude McAtamney paved the way for a 39-yard game-winning field goal by Broncos kicker Will Lutz as time expired. 

Bo and the Broncos improved to 5-2, good for a one-game lead over the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC West.
