The Denver Broncos signed a new quarterback on Sunday after Bo Nix suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the team's divisional round win over the Buffalo Bills.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Denver signed Ben DiNucci to the practice squad. DiNucci will likely serve as the emergency quarterback, as Jarrett Stidham will start in the AFC Championship game, while Sam Ehlinger will be the backup.

The signing of DiNucci gives the Broncos another body in the quarterback room, but the veteran quarterback's social media after joining Denver can only make you chuckle.

DiNucci criticized the officiating of the Broncos vs. Bills game on Saturday in a now-deleted tweet. The 29-year-old called out the two questionable pass interference calls in overtime called on Buffalo, which put Denver in the position to kick a field goal and move on to the AFC Championship game.

"Neither of those are even close to PI. Can't call those at that point of the game. Can't reward a bad ball like that," DiNucci said in a deleted tweet on the pass interference calls on the Bills in overtime.

However, DiNucci does believe that Ja'Quan McMillian came up with the interception during overtime on Brandin Cooks.

"This is an INT every time.  If defender isn’t part of the play and the ball comes free - it’s incomplete. Cooks never has control of the ball," DiNucci tweeted.

After signing with the Broncos, DiNucci took to X and made an awesome tweet confirming the reports.

"It has come to my attention that a team may be in need of my services… Good thing my schedule is open this week.  Broncos country…  Let’s go get a Super Bowl," DiNucci said on X.
