Nix has thrown two third-down interceptions this year: Week 1 at Seattle and on Denver’s first possession in Week 6 against the Chargers. Since that overthrow to Marvin Mims Jr., Nix has dropped back 52 times on third down without a turnover.

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.

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.
