Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw the best pass of his young NFL career—and possibly his football career—Monday night at Empower Field at Mile High.
Locked in a prime-time battle against the Cleveland Browns in the third quarter, Nix faced a third-and-11 from Denver's own 7-yard line. Instead of playing it safe and checking down to a safer option, the rookie threw an absolute rope down the field to receiver Marvin Mims Jr., who caught the ball at the 41-yard line and ran untouched into the end zone for a 93-yard score.
What a play.
NIX. MIMS. 93 YARDS TO THE CRIB.
