Bo Nix says his ankle is fine, but the Broncos quarterback admits he is fighting a mental hurdle as his production drops this season.
- Denver Broncos quarterback Nix acknowledged this week there is a "mental hurdle" regarding his surgically repaired right ankle, providing insight into his season-long performance slump.
- Nix suffered a fractured ankle in the Denver Broncos' 33-30 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs, requiring two surgeries that caused him to miss the AFC championship.
- After averaging 231.2 yards passing last year, Nix is averaging 174.8 yards this year; his rushing production has dropped to 37 yards on 22 carries so far.
- Coach Sean Payton insisted benching Nix is not the answer, noting the quarterback's play is not the only offensive issue; rookie Jonah Coleman returns from injured reserve to strengthen the ground attack.
