Bo Nix’s late-game comebacks keep rescuing Broncos, but solving slow starts remains a top priority

Bo Nix has 10 career fourth-quarter rallies, but Denver has been outscored 40-10 in first halves this season, officials said.

  • Following a 30-26 comeback win over the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday, the Denver Broncos travel to Santa Clara, California, for their Week 4 matchup against undefeated San Francisco on Sunday.
  • Despite holding a 2-1 record, the Broncos have struggled early this season, failing to secure a first down on seven of their 15 first-half drives while being outscored 40-10 in opening halves.
  • Quarterback Nix has led 10 career final-quarter rallies, ranking first in multiple fourth-quarter categories including 20 touchdowns when trailing by one score. He leads his 2024 draft class with 8,311 passing yards and 58 touchdowns.
  • Coach Sean Payton and offensive coordinator Davis Webb are addressing sluggish starts by revamping the ground game, which has produced only 243 rushing yards this season, second-worst in the NFL.
  • Receiver Courtland Sutton said the team aims to "start faster" against San Francisco while pairing early execution with their proven fourth-quarter resilience. "If we can pair together a fast start plus finishing strong, that is where I think the magic is going to come from," Sutton said.
