Broncos and Bo Nix Have Won 16 Straight One-Score Games
Denver has four fourth-quarter comebacks this season, and Nix now has 15 career game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime.
On Sunday, quarterback Nix led the Denver Broncos to a 28-24 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, with the comeback win secured by a goal-line stand from Denver's defense.
Denver struggles with slow starts this season, scoring fewer points in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter. Head coach Sean Payton admitted, "Yeah, I don't have the answer."
Altogether, the Broncos have outscored opponents 56-10 during fourth-quarter comebacks against the Jaguars, Rams, Chargers and Chiefs. This marked Nix's 15th career game-winning drive, the most for any NFL quarterback in his first three seasons.
Wide receiver Courtland Sutton noted the team remains undefeated in one-score games this year. "I think there's never a game we feel like we're out of," Sutton added.
Visiting the Carolina Panthers this weekend, the Broncos aim to maintain momentum after remaining undefeated in one-score games this season.
Sean Payton is as bewildered as everyone else by Bo Nix's propensity to start slow and finish fast, as he did last week by guiding the Denver Broncos to a couple of touchdowns in the fourth quarter after leaving without points in three consecutive series in the third quarter.
