Bo Nix looks as good as advertised. With over 3,200 yards and 22 touchdowns through 15 games, Nix — paired with Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton — has evolved into a quarterback who will get better with time and could grow to be a franchise cornerstone. That is why he was the Broncos’ first-round draft pick in April.

“Everybody in that locker room, every guy wants to already play next week at this point,” Nix said. “We’re all competitively frustrated, and I think we’re excited for this opportunity. We know this next one’s the most important, and we just want to go out next week and not feel this way again.”

The Denver Broncos built a double-digit lead on the road but saw it deteriorate in a blink as both the offense and defense struggled in the second half.
