Bo Nix didn’t have the best season among NFL quarterbacks, but he was certainly pivotal in leading the Denver Broncos to the postseason, proving the doubters wrong. Recently, he sent a message to silence those critics.
According to Nix’s comments after the game against the Chiefs, he addressed his critics, saying, “Opening the season, nobody expected us to do this, but we didn’t really listen to that.” It’s worth noting that the Broncos lost in the first two weeks against the Seahawks and Steelers.
It’s worth noting that this is Bo Nix’s first NFL season as the starting quarterback for the Broncos, and thanks to him, the franchise finally made it to the postseason after an eight-year drought, with their last playoff appearance in 2016. They will play in the Wild Card round on the road.
Criticism started early in the season, pointing at Sean Payton, the front office, and other aspects of the Broncos, like the offensive line, which finished 10th out of 32 teams in 2024, averaging 25 points per game. By the end of the regular season, the franchise’s record was 10-7-0, their first 10-win season since 2015, when they won Super Bowl 50.
