The Denver Broncos struck gold in drafting quarterback Bo Nix. While sportsbooks had the Broncos winning six games in the 2024 NFL season, Nix guided the Broncos to a 10-7 record and helped end their playoff drought that stretched back to the 2016 season.
While the Broncos lost to the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card Round, the Broncos have returned to football prominence. Denver made a playoff return thanks to Nix’s seven games with at least 200 passing yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions, which is the most among rookies.
Meanwhile, he has five games with at least three passing touchdowns, second-most among rookies. The quarterback from Oregon also has 19 touchdowns at home, the most among rookies in NFL history.
