After a shaky start, Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix is heating up.
Nix threw no touchdown passes and four interceptions through his first two games in the NFL in September. Since then, he has totaled eight touchdown passes and one interception in his last six games.
Nix was the NFL’s best rookie quarterback in October, posting better numbers than No. 1 overall draft pick Caleb Williams and No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels.
Nix, the No. 12 overall pick in April, currently leads all NFL rookies with 12 total touchdowns (eight passing and four rushing), via Aric DiLalla of the team’s official website.

This is how Nix stacked up among rookie quarterbacks in October, via CBS Sports:
| Stat | Total | Rank |
| Passing TDs | 7 | 1st |
| Pass TDs/INTs | 7/1 | 1st |
| Passing Yards | 870 | 1st |
| Rushing TDs | 2 | 1st |
| Wins | 3 | 1st-T |
That’s a pretty impressive month for Denver’s rookie quarterback.
Nix broke the team’s franchise record for the most wins by a rookie quarterback with his fifth victory on Sunday. Nix also became the first quarterback in Broncos history to throw for three touchdowns, rush for a touchdown and not throw an interception in a single game.
Nix can obviously still improve, but he’s trending in the right direction. The 24-year-old QB seems to be a perfect fit for coach Sean Payton’s offense.
