A wild rumor regarding Bo Nix’s injury has gone into circulation on social media.
The Denver Broncos quarterback is done for the playoffs after sustaining a fractured ankle during Saturday’s Divisional Round win vs. the Buffalo Bills.
Nix did not appear to be hurt, so it came as a total surprise when Sean Payton revealed he was set for surgery.
Payton said that Nix suffered the injury on the second-to-last play in overtime, and some people aren’t buying it. Even Peyton Manning thought it was a hoax.
One rumor has popped up on social media claiming that Nix’s agent advised him to fake the injury.
“Rumor has it #Broncos QB Bo Nix’s agent advised him to fake his ankle injury to avoid another “playoff disaster” and keep him under contract for a third consecutive season,” it reads.
Of course, it’s not true. It also doesn’t appear that anyone finds it funny.
“Yes, he really had a “playoff disaster” yesterday. Almost 300 yards and 3 touchdowns. It was awful,” a fan wrote in the comments. “This may be the dumbest post on social media today and that is not an easy accomplishment.”

Some parody posts just don’t hit like they’re expected to.
Richard Johnson has seen better days.
