It was a question that had been lingering in the minds of Broncos fans - would their rookie quarterback Bo Nix be able to play in Monday night's game? Well, on Friday he put all doubts to rest with a simple statement, "I'm good to go. Ready to roll." It was a relief for the team and fans alike to know that Nix's back issue, which had caused him to be a limited participant in Thursday's walkthrough, was no longer a concern. In fact, he was a full participant in Friday's practice.
Nix had not missed any time in their previous game against Las Vegas, but there was a moment where he was seen grabbing his lower back after making a throw under pressure. However, with two touchdown passes to his name and a wrap placed around his back, Nix proved that he was determined to play through the pain. And now, he was about to make his debut on Monday Night Football against Cleveland.
For Nix, every game was a primetime game and he never took the opportunity for granted. He saw it as a special opportunity to wear the team's uniform and play in the NFL. And with the added excitement of playing under the lights, Nix was ready to make the most of it.
This was not just any ordinary Monday night game for the Broncos. It was their first home Monday night game since 2020, and the first with a full stadium since 2018. It was also a chance for them to showcase their current roster, which included Nix as a standout offensive rookie. With 20 touchdowns and only 2 turnovers in their past 10 games, Nix had been making a name for himself and leading the team to victory.
But with all the attention on Nix, he knew that it was important to focus on the little things and execute the plays with precision. He emphasized the need to convert on third downs, score in the red zone, and be efficient when their moment came. And while their kicker, Wil, had been named player of the week for kicking five field goals in their previous game, Nix and the team were determined to score more touchdowns.
Nix's recent performances had not gone unnoticed, as he had been named the NFL's rookie of the month for October and the league's rookie of the week for the past three games. He had thrown for over 200 yards and multiple touchdowns in each of those games, and now he had a chance to make some historical records for NFL rookies.
If Nix could throw multiple touchdowns without any interceptions in their game against Cleveland, he would join the ranks of only three other rookies in NFL history to do so in four games - C.J. Stroud, Justin Herbert, and Russell Wilson. And if he continued this streak, he would be the second rookie ever to do it in four consecutive games, alongside Wilson.
However, Nix remained humble and focused on the next game, not paying too much attention to the records he could break. His offensive coordinator, Joe Lombardi, praised him for his professionalism and ability to focus on the task at hand. And with the Broncos Insider providing all the latest news and analysis, fans could stay updated on Nix's journey as he continued to lead the team to victory.
