Despite being the sixth quarterback selected in the 2024 NFL draft, Bo Nix has rocketed up the rookie quarterback rankings recently with the Denver Broncos. After erratic play to start his career, Nix has started to look like a far more competent and comfortable quarterback.

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.

Last month, Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month, and now he has earned the NFL's Rookie of the Week award.

The Denver Broncos were a blocked field goal away from giving the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season last Sunday. The Broncos lined up for a 35-yard field goal with a second left but had it blocked since the Chiefs steamrolled the Broncos' offensive line.

This deep-dive analysis illustrates that the Denver Broncos' search for a franchise quarterback is over. Nov 10, 2024; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (10) throws a pass during the first half against the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
