Justin Herbert and Bo Nix have long admired one another’s gridiron feats

LA Times  

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix passes during a win over the Raiders on Sunday. “He’s one of those guys you look up to playing at Oregon,” Nix, the Denver Broncos quarterback, told reporters Wednesday before the former Oregon Ducks stars face each other in a critical AFC West game Sunday in Denver. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert tries to break free from a sack attempt by Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah on Sept. 29 at SoFi Stadium. But Nix has eliminated the turnovers in the past three games, becoming the first Broncos rookie quarterback with a three-game winning streak. Nix, whose 14 rushing touchdowns in 2022 were the second-most for an Oregon quarterback in a single season, is already tied for the second-most rushing touchdowns by a Broncos rookie quarterback with three.
