Bo Nix’s Winning Ways Turning Heads in Denver
When you’re a young quarterback in the NFL, the spotlight is relentless. But Bo Nix hasn’t just handled the pressure - he’s thrived under it.
Through his first two seasons, Nix has done something no other quarterback in league history has managed: win more games than anyone else in that same span. That’s not just impressive - that’s historic.
Broncos head coach Sean Payton isn’t shy about what he sees in his young signal-caller. “I just think you evaluate a quarterback by how much he wins,” Payton said. “And there has been no quarterback in his first two years who has won more than Bo.”
That’s not coach-speak - that’s a coach putting his full weight behind his guy. And it’s not just about the wins. Nix has racked up seven game-winning drives already, showing he’s not just playing well - he’s delivering when it matters most.
“It got to the point where we were behind, and Bo had the ball and we’re like, ‘OK, we’re going to win this,’” Payton added. That’s the kind of trust that’s earned, not given. And it speaks volumes about what Nix brings to the huddle.
Yes, there are still areas to refine. No young quarterback is perfect.
But when you’ve got a guy who rises in the big moments and carries that elusive “it” factor, you’re already ahead of the game. “He’s best in the big moments,” Payton said.
“We’ve seen that.”
In Denver, the belief is real. And Bo Nix is giving the Broncos every reason to believe their future is in good hands.
J.K. Dobbins Wants to Stay in Denver - For Good
J.K. Dobbins didn’t just bounce back from a season-ending foot injury - he made it clear that he wants to do it again and again in orange and blue.
The veteran running back, who averaged just under 80 yards per game in his first year with the Broncos, is heading into free agency once more. But this time, he’s hoping it’s the last.
“I think I’m a Bronco for life,” Dobbins said.
That’s not just lip service. Dobbins pointed to everything the organization has done to support him - from ownership to the coaching staff to the locker room. And when you’re trying to recover from a major injury, those details matter.
“It starts with the ownership,” Dobbins explained. “They get us everything that we need to be successful here.
It starts with like the hyperbaric chamber. I was able to get back on the practice field [in] 2.5 months.”
He didn’t stop there. Dobbins gave a heartfelt shoutout to head coach Sean Payton, running backs coach Lou Ayeni, and even defensive coordinator Vance Joseph - a sign of just how connected he feels to the entire team.
“Then the offensive line, and just like everybody, the brothers, and like the defense. I even felt like I was part of the defense because they wanted me here.”
For Dobbins, Denver isn’t just a stop on the journey. It feels like home. And while free agency always brings uncertainty, his message is clear: he wants to stay, and he believes this is where he belongs.
Maxx Crosby Sounds Off: “I Just Want to Play Football”
Few players in the NFL wear their passion on their sleeve quite like Maxx Crosby. The Raiders star edge rusher has been the heartbeat of Las Vegas’ defense, but with the team navigating yet another transition, rumors about his future have been swirling.
Crosby? He’s not here for it.
“My focus has been on getting healthy because that’s all I can control right now,” Crosby said on the “Let’s Go!” podcast with Jim Gray. “That’s all that matters to me - being with my daughters, being with my wife, and taking care of myself.”
Crosby, who’s been through regime changes, a franchise relocation, and his fair share of injuries, isn’t interested in the noise. He’s built his career on relentless effort and authenticity, and he made it clear that hasn’t changed.
“I just want to play football and be left the f- alone. Period,” he said. “People that know me know I’m about the work and the football.”
That work ethic isn’t just talk. According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, Crosby is in the Raiders’ facility every day, grinding through offseason workouts. He’s already had positive conversations with new head coach Klint Kubiak, and he’s given credit where it’s due.
“Kubiak runs a great system,” Crosby said. “He’s had a lot of success being an offensive coordinator.
You’ve seen what he’s done for Sam Darnold. He’s brought the best out of a lot of his players.”
But the bigger question looms: with only one playoff appearance under his belt and a franchise that’s been in constant flux, is Crosby willing to stick it out in Vegas?
Pelissero believes that’s the decision Crosby has to make - and it’s not just about football. It’s about whether he believes in the direction of the organization and whether the Raiders see him as a foundational piece moving forward.
If they don’t, the trade market would be fierce. According to Pelissero, Crosby could command a haul - potentially two first-round picks or a first-rounder plus additional assets. That’s the kind of return that could tempt a rebuilding team.
But for now, Crosby’s not looking to stir the pot. He’s focused on his health, his family, and his game. And if you know Maxx Crosby, you know that’s not just a soundbite - that’s who he is.
“I give my whole life to this sport every single day,” he said. “People can talk all they want… I just care about playing football.”
