Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is once again a top contender for the league-wide passing award, earning him nomination for the FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week honors in Week 18. In Denver’s decisive 38-0 win over the Chiefs, Nix completed 26-of-29 passes for 321 yards and four touchdowns, showcasing his impressive skills.
The rookie quarterback set multiple records in the game, including becoming the first to record two games with at least 300 passing yards, four touchdown passes, and a passer rating of 140 or higher. He also tied and passed Baker Mayfield for the second-most passing touchdowns by a rookie in NFL history.
Nix’s impressive performance has earned him recognition as the Broncos’ signal-caller with the most passing touchdowns this season, surpassing Peyton Manning’s record among non-Peyton Manning quarterbacks. This win solidifies Nix’s place in Broncos history and further establishes him as one of the league’s top young quarterbacks.
