Bo Nix throws down the numbers.
The Broncos quarterback has apparently had a pedestrian season so far. His numbers are down from 2025 in completion percentage (64.3 to 59.9), yards per attempt (6.4 to 5.8) and passer rating (87.8 to 80.8). The Broncos rank 30th in total offense after being 10th last season.
However, Nix doesn’t see it that way.
“Playing well and playing bad, it’s a narrative and I think it’s honestly something that we make up,” Nix said after Tuesday’s practice, via Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette. “I don’t think I’m necessarily playing any different than I normally do.”
Nix was just 16 of 27 for 123 yards with a touchdown in Sunday’s 23-17 win over the Chargers. He had just one completion longer than 16 yards.
Still, Nix takes a positive view.
“We’re sitting here at 3-2 and we’re off to a good start to our season,” Nix said. “There’s things we want to clean up. There’s things we want to fix. We’re leaving some things on the field, but we’re finding ways to win like we did last year (during a 14-3 season). I feel strongly that we’re going to continue to do that.”
