Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix made a huge play in the second quarter against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, catching a two-yard touchdown pass from wide receiver Courtland Sutton.
Yes, you read that right: Sutton threw the pass to Nix.
Facing a fourth-and-goal from Baltimore’s two-yard line, Nix handed the ball to running back Javonte Williams behind the line of scrimmage. Williams then gave a reverse to Sutton, who then threw to Nix in the end zone.
Nix jumped up and beat Ravens safety Marcus Williams to the ball and came down with the catch in the end zone for a touchdown. Here’s a sampling of how fans and pundits reacted to the impressive play on Twitter/X.

Courtland Sutton just threw a touchdown to Bo Nix on 4th down. This was an impressive throw by Sutton with pressure in his face and an even more impressive catch by Nix.

Per @pfref, Bo Nix is the third rookie QB in NFL history to have a touchdown pass, a touchdown catch and a touchdown run in the same season.
The other two are Marcus Mariota (2015, TEN) and Kordell Stewart (1995, PIT).

For those keeping score, @SuttonCourtland remains the best QB in NFL history, 4-4, 74 yards, and now his 1st TD.
I told Bo Sunday after his presser that Sutton was 3-3, 72 yards all 1st Downs, and he said, "Maybe we should do more of it!" #BroncosCountry— Brandon Krisztal (@BKDenverSports) November 3, 2024
Nix is the only player in the NFL with a passing, rushing and receiving touchdown this season. He also currently leads all rookies this season with 13 scores. At the time of publication, Denver trails in Baltimore 17-10.
