Denver Broncos rookie QB Bo Nix looked exactly like the Bo Nix we saw in preseason on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sean Payton’s scheme this week was exactly what the Broncos offense needed. Quick passes that were on time and exactly to the spots they needed to be. Not to mention, Nix is a threat on the ground.

Coming into today, the Broncos were down pretty bad. Not one member of the NFL network or FOX had them picked to win. Yet, they came out super aggressive early on. This was a statement win. This was a slingshot of momentum that could not only catapult them forward but it came at the perfect time. With a matchup with the Jets next week, the positive aura that just got injected into this team is incredible. Bo Nix has arrived.
Bo Nix has been impressive today. This is the best performance we’ve seen from a rookie QB this season thus far.

This was by far and away the best game a QB has had in Denver for a long time…
