There’s plenty of holiday cheer in Denver this year.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Izzy Nix — the wife of Broncos starting quarterback Bo Nix — gave followers a peek at a merry gathering that included fellow signal callers Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson, as well as their partners, Kennedy Stidham and Nicolette Dellanno, respectively.
Matching in red plaid pajamas, Izzy quipped of the couples’ pic, “QB Christmas card.”
The fun didn’t stop there, with Wilson — who arrived in Denver this offseason following a rocky three-year tenure with the Jets — winning “every round” of the dice game “Left, Center, Right.”
“Somehow Zach won LRC … every round,” Izzy shared in one video, which featured the former first-round pick celebrating on the couch with fiancée Dellanno.
Kennedy, who has been married to Stidham since 2019, also showed off the custom presents received.
“The only gift to give ur significant other on Christmas,” she captioned a post that featured socks with hers, Izzy’s and Dellanno’s faces on them.
In a separate slide, Kennedy revealed the group put a holiday spin on the “weekly QB dinner.”
The 9-6 Broncos have been riding high in Nix’s rookie season.
The former Oregon quarterback, who was taken 12th overall in this year’s NFL draft, has continued to impress after being named the starting quarterback out of training camp.
Nix has thrown 22 touchdowns against 11 interceptions through 15 games, including last Thursday’s crushing 34-27 loss to the rival Chargers. He has also rushed for four scores.
Even with the defeat, the Broncos are still within reach of a wildcard berth as a critical game against the Bengals looms.
“Everybody in that locker room — every guy — wants to already play next week, I think, at this point,” Nix said following Thursday’s game, where the Broncos blew a 21-13 lead entering halftime.
“We’re all competitively frustrated. I think we’re excited for this opportunity. We know that this next one’s the most important, and we just want to go out next week and not feel this way again.”
The quarterbacks, with Stidham second on the depth chart followed by Wilson, will be supported in Week 17 by their biggest fans, who have forged a close bond this season.
The Broncos kick off against the Bengals (7-8) on Saturday in Cincinnati at 4:30 p.m.
