Broncos QB Bo Nix is emphasizing the importance of enjoying victories
Bo Nix said Denver must savor wins while the Broncos remain 3-2 despite offensive struggles and a 123-yard passing day.
The Denver Broncos moved to 3-2 with a 23-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, though quarterback Bo Nix completed just 16 of 27 passes for 123 yards in the offensive struggle.
Head coach Sean Payton resumed playcalling duties after four games to address offensive stagnation, while Nix has run less this season following two ankle surgeries, contributing to his conservative approach.
Denver ranks 23rd in pass-block win rate at 46% and 20th in run-block win rate at 73%, while Nix ranks 24th in QBR at 43.1 with only 11 plays of 20 yards or more this season.
To simplify his approach, Nix stated he is trying to "Make it 1, 2, 3, and let's play fast," while Payton encourages him to "let it rip" to unlock offensive success.
Facing the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, the defending Super Bowl champions who rank ninth in scoring defense and are tied for fourth in quick pressures, the Broncos must test Nix's ability to accelerate his internal clock.
