Bo Nix made Broncos history in win over Panthers

Rookie quarterback Bo Nix made Denver Broncos history in the team’s 28-14 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

With the victory, Nix broke the franchise rookie QB record for wins in a season with five. Nix accomplished this feat in only his eighth start for the Broncos. Nix beat the old record of four wins, held by Hall of Famer John Elway (1983) and former Denver quarterback Drew Lock (2019).

Nix looked impressive in the win over the Panthers, with career highs in yards (284), passing touchdowns (3), completions (28) and completion percentage (75.7%).

Nix also became the first QB in franchise history to pull off this feat:

After a rough start, Nix has turned a corner in recent weeks. He’s been elusive in the pocket, protecting the football and a good leader (despite coach Sean Payton’s good-natured comparison of Nix to Ferris Bueller).

Nix has thrown for eight touchdowns and five interceptions with 1,530 yards and rushed for four touchdowns thus far in 2024.

Nix looks to continue his promising rookie campaign with big road trips in Weeks 8 and 9 against the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs.
