Nix and the Broncos are back in action on Sunday for a Week 15 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. As for the 2-11 Raiders, they will look to snap their seven-game losing streak on Sunday against the defending champions, the Philadelphia Eagles.
Few quarterbacks have been under the microscope as much as Bo Nix. Despite the critiques and blatant hatred, Nix has led the Broncos to an 11-2 record.
Bo Nix is one victory away from the second-most wins through a QB's first two seasons. If the Broncos win out, he'd break the record.
A Mike Klis Bo Nix vs Russell Wilson 30-game comparison went viral on X, sparking a flood of Broncos fan debate and renewed Russ drama.
Bo Nix has the Denver Broncos on the brink of history, sitting at 21 wins through two seasons and closing in on Russell Wilson’s NFL record. With four games left and Denver at 11-2, the rookie sensation is driving the push for the AFC’s No.
For the first 10 games, Nix was hard to trust, playing erratically for three quarters before throwing on a cape in the fourth. And he might struggle against the Packers, whose defense compares favorably to the Broncos save for their 22 fewer sacks. But Nix probably won’t, judging by the past three games.
When that 20th touchdown pass comes, Nix will join legends like John Elway and Peyton Manning on that elite list of Broncos quarterbacks to hit double-digit passing scores in back-to-back seasons. That's pretty exclusive territory for a second-year quarterback.
A strong run game would certainly help Denver's cause, and the Broncos posted their best performance since Week 8 in a win over the Raiders. Rookie RJ Harvey recorded 100 scrimmage yards, and he'll aim to find more success against a stingy defense that ranks fifth in yards allowed and ninth in rushing defense.
"A streak like that, it's hard to do, and I say it all the time, even though we're now better than we were last year, we didn't want to stop at 11."
The second-year QB was No. 2 in deep pass attempts through 10 weeks but has been making higher percentages passes recently.
