Bo Nix Leads Broncos' Playoff Push

Bo Nix has emerged as a standout quarterback for the Denver Broncos, showing remarkable improvement from a 62.5 passer rating in his first four games to a 99.8 rating over the next nine, making him the most improved quarterback since Alex Smith in 2005-2006. Under head coach Sean Payton, Nix's performance has led the Broncos to an 8-5 record, positioning them for a potential playoff berth. His low sack rate of 6.6% on third downs highlights his ability to evade pressure, ranking him among the best in the NFL. Despite a rocky start to the season, Nix has thrown for 2,458 yards, 17 touchdowns, and only four interceptions since Week 3. Payton's leadership and the team's strategic adjustments have contributed to this surprising turnaround, defying expectations that projected a rebuilding phase. Nix's development has placed him in the conversation for Offensive Rookie of the Year honors as the season progresses.
