Broncos might finally have a franchise QB as Bo Nix improves by the week
DENVER — After a slow start, Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix is earning NFL honors and victories by the week. Nix had his best game so far Sunday, setting season highs in completion rate, yards passing and touchdown throws with an efficient 28-for-33 performance that stoked Denver’s 38-6 rout of the Atlanta Falcons. “It’s not even looking like Offensive Rookie of the Year, it’s looking like MVP now.” Overstatement or not, it sure looks as if the Broncos finally have found their franchise quarterback, the likes of which they haven’t had since Hall of Famer Peyton Manning’s four brilliant seasons in Denver from 2012-15. Since Manning’s retirement after winning Super Bowl 50, the Broncos have churned through draft picks Trevor Siemian, Paxton Lynch and Drew Lock, free agents Case Keenum, Joe Flacco and trade acquisitions Teddy Bridgewater and Russell Wilson. With Sunday’s win, Nix’s six victories are a franchise rookie record, besting the five Hall of Famer John Elway had in 1983 and Lock matched in 2019.
