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.

Broncos QB Bo Nix was named NFL rookie of the week Thursday after throwing for 215 yards and two touchdowns Sunday at Kansas City.

The inaugural meeting between Patrick Mahomes and Bo Nix did not disappoint as the Kansas City Chiefs scraped by the Denver Broncos, 16-14, in a thriller at Arrowhead Field on Sunday. Immediately after the dust settled, the three-time Super Bowl champ delivered strong words of encouragement to his impressive rookie foe.
