Bo Nix just put the league on notice - again. The Denver Broncos quarterback has been named the FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week after a stellar performance against the Green Bay Packers, a game that not only showcased his growth but also extended Denver’s win streak to 11 straight.
Let’s set the scene: Denver was trailing 23-14 early in the third quarter. Nix had been solid to that point, but what followed was a clinic in quarterback play.
From that moment on, the Broncos outscored the Packers 20-3, flipping the script on a game that many expected them to lose. And at the center of it all?
Bo Nix, dialing it up when it mattered most.
Nix finished the day 23-of-43 for 302 yards and four touchdowns. But this wasn’t just a stat-padding performance - it was the how that stood out.
He made throws that belong on highlight reels and in quarterback film rooms. One pass to Evan Engram looked like something pulled from a magician’s playbook, threading the needle with defenders closing in.
Another? A sideline dart that seemed to graze the helmet of linebacker Quay Walker before landing perfectly in Troy Franklin’s hands for a catch-and-run that turned into a momentum-changer.
Quarterback analysts like Tim Jenkins, Chase Daniel, and Kurt Warner have already broken down the tape, and the consensus is clear: Bo Nix isn’t just managing games - he’s starting to take them over.
This season has been a tale of two halves for Nix, much like his rookie campaign. Early on, there were flashes of brilliance mixed with some inconsistency.
But the difference this year? Nix is finishing games.
He’s winning the close ones. And now, he’s starting to stack dominant performances.
Over his last four games, Nix is completing nearly 70% of his passes, averaging over 280 yards per game, and has six total touchdowns against just one turnover. That’s the kind of efficiency and poise you want from your quarterback heading into the most critical stretch of the season.
The national spotlight may still be catching up, but Denver fans have seen the evolution firsthand. Nix isn’t just riding the wave of a hot streak - he’s driving it. And with another big matchup coming up against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Broncos have a chance to break a tie with the 2012 Peyton Manning-led squad for the second-longest win streak in franchise history.
If Nix keeps playing like this, that record won’t be the only thing in reach.
