RecapBo Nix completed 25-of-37 passes for 237 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the Broncos’ 26-21, Week 9 win over the Panthers.
Today was only Nix’s third multi-score start of the season through the air, though it was also his second in as many weeks. It came as No. 1 wideout Jaylen Waddle left with a first half concussion. Nix’s touchdowns were a three-yard precision dart to Courtland Sutton and 26-yard busted coverage strike to a returning Pat Bryant. He also extended a few key plays with his scrambling ability, most notably avoiding a massive third down sack on the Broncos’ opening drive. It was not a perfect day, but Nix has inarguably been playing better since his dismal Thursday Night Football outing three weeks ago. Now he must wait and see on Waddle’s status coming out of the Broncos’ Week 10 bye, but Bryant’s healthy return could be a massive development. Nix will be a solid QB2 streamer vs. Vegas in two weeks.
