Despite being the sixth quarterback selected in the 2024 NFL draft, Bo Nix has rocketed up the rookie quarterback rankings recently with the Denver Broncos. After erratic play to start his career, Nix has started to look like a far more competent and comfortable quarterback.

For most of October, Sean Payton harped on his offense’s need to improve on third down. The Broncos weren’t just struggling, they were flat-out bad. Denver didn’t convert better than 36% of its attempts in any of its first seven games and entered Week 8 at No.

The Denver Broncos were a blocked field goal away from giving the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season last Sunday. The Broncos lined up for a 35-yard field goal with a second left but had it blocked since the Chiefs steamrolled the Broncos' offensive line.

This deep-dive analysis illustrates that the Denver Broncos' search for a franchise quarterback is over. Nov 10, 2024; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (10) throws a pass during the first half against the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
