Bo Nix has been referred to as Boring Bo, but don't let the nickname fool you. Despite the Broncos' struggles in recent years, their current winning streak is anything but dull. After enduring years of disappointment since their last Super Bowl victory, winning has become a breath of fresh air for the team.
In their first three games, the Broncos have come out on top and can continue their success with two more wins in their division games. This would be a first since 2017. And with their recent streak, it's no surprise that Bo Nix has been the driving force behind their victories. He has become a reliable and consistent quarterback, much like a classic outfit of khaki pants and a white t-shirt. If he were a vegetable, he would definitely be kale – simple, yet effective.
But there's nothing wrong with being a bit boring when it leads to success. As stated during training camp, the Broncos' winning formula focuses on protecting the ball, forcing turnovers, and excelling in special teams. And in their last three games, Nix has followed this formula perfectly. He has not given up any turnovers and has only been sacked three times. This has resulted in a plus-4 turnover margin and a defense that has only allowed an average of 11.3 points per game. This strategy may sound familiar, as it was also a key factor in their winning streak last season.
Being a bit boring can actually be a good thing for Bo Nix at this point in his career. He may only have five games under his belt, but he has already experienced the highs and lows of the NFL. In college, he put up impressive numbers and was the star of the Oregon Ducks. But in his first two weeks in the NFL, he quickly learned that the transition to the league requires more than just talent. It takes patience, determination, and a willingness to learn. Nix has shown all of these qualities, bouncing back from a rough start and not turning the ball over since.
The Broncos' passing game may not be the most exciting to watch, but it's been effective. Nix only threw for negative yards in the first half of their game against the Jets, and their third down conversion rate is currently ranked 31st in the league. But this conservative approach fits well with Nix's style and the team's current state. And as long as they continue to play mistake-free football, they have a chance to beat any team they come up against.
It's important to remember that Nix is still a rookie and is still learning. He may not be a superstar like Russell Wilson, but he doesn't have to be. His job is to lead the team and make smart decisions, and he has done just that. He has shown composure and the ability to handle pressure, even after losing key players on the offensive line. And his growth should not be measured solely by his statistics, but by his decision-making and leadership skills.
Of course, the Broncos can't rely on this style of play forever. Eventually, the expectations on Nix will increase, and he will have to continue to develop and improve. But for now, his steady and conservative approach is exactly what the team needs. And as they continue to win, Nix will gain more experience and become a better quarterback.
So let's not be too quick to judge Boring Bo. He may not be putting up flashy numbers, but he is leading the team and winning games. And as left tackle Garett Bolles puts it, Nix has "it." He has the qualities of a great quarterback, and with time, he will only get better. So let's sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride, even if it's not always the most thrilling. After all, sometimes the best way to learn and succeed is by being a little boring.
