Bo Nix made quite an impression in his final preseason game with the Broncos. The rookie quarterback put on a show for the home crowd and solidified his position as the potential starter for Week 1. Despite facing the Green Bay Packers' backup players, Nix showcased his skills and proved himself as a strong contender against his fellow quarterbacks, Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson.
Nix started the game with two impressive drives, leading the starting offense to put 10 points on the board. He ended the night with a touchdown pass to veteran receiver Tim Patrick, finishing with an impressive line of 8-of-9 passing for 80 yards and a score, along with 12 rushing yards and a 14-yard touchdown pass to Javonte Williams (which was unfortunately negated due to a penalty).
If Coach Sean Payton decides to make Nix the official starter, it's likely that he won't see any playing time in the final preseason game on August 25th against Arizona. But that's not a concern, because in the two games he has played this month, Nix has proven himself as a valuable asset to the Broncos' offense. Whenever he was on the field, the team moved the ball and scored points.
In fact, Nix led seven impressive drives in his two preseason games, with six of them resulting in multiple first downs and points on the board. And on the one drive that didn't produce points, it was due to a fumble by tight end Lucas Krull on the first play. Nix's performance has been consistently strong, and he has shown his ability to lead the team down the field and put points on the board.
In the last game against the Packers, Nix's final drive was the most impressive of them all. He started with a 14-yard screen pass to Williams and then delivered a perfect 14-yard pass to Patrick over the middle on a crucial third down. He then scrambled for 10 yards and completed a 23-yard pass to Courtland Sutton, setting up a first-and-goal. Nix then rolled out and found Patrick again for a 2-yard touchdown, capping off a beautiful drive.
Overall, Nix's preseason stats are impressive, with 23-of-30 completions for 205 yards, two touchdown passes, and six carries for 30 yards. And it's not just about the numbers, but also the clarity that Nix has provided for the team. While no one knows for sure how he will perform in a regular-season NFL game, Nix has shown that he is more than ready to take on the challenge. The Broncos have no reason to wait any longer, and it's clear that Nix is the man for the job.
So let's get ready to see Nix lead the Denver Broncos to victory in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. And if you want to stay updated on all things Broncos, make sure to sign up for the Broncos Insider for all the latest NFL analysis.
