Despite being the sixth quarterback selected in the 2024 NFL draft, Bo Nix has rocketed up the rookie quarterback rankings recently with the Denver Broncos. After erratic play to start his career, Nix has started to look like a far more competent and comfortable quarterback.

Nix has completed 63.6% of his passes this fall for 1,968 yards with 10 touchdowns against six interceptions. He has also rushed for 290 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Nix continues to progress and he has the Broncos in position to contend for a playoff spot this season. As Sutton said, you can’t ask for more than that from the rookie QB.

For most of October, Sean Payton harped on his offense’s need to improve on third down. The Broncos weren’t just struggling, they were flat-out bad. Denver didn’t convert better than 36% of its attempts in any of its first seven games and entered Week 8 at No.

The Denver Broncos were a blocked field goal away from giving the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season last Sunday. The Broncos lined up for a 35-yard field goal with a second left but had it blocked since the Chiefs steamrolled the Broncos' offensive line.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is a Bo Nix believer. After a disappointing 16-14 road loss to the Chiefs in Week 10, Romi Bean of CBS Colorado shared that Mahomes told the Denver Broncos rookie QB they'll have more nail-biting games throughout their careers.
