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.

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.
