During last week’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix went viral after CBS cameras captured the rookie in a crazy-eyed exchange with defensive lineman Tyree Wilson.
It appeared that Nix told Wilson he doesn’t fear anything, but the quarterback isn’t exactly sure what he said. He explained after practice on Friday that it was just a competitive exchange in the heat of the moment.
“I did not,” Nix said when asked if he realized how viral the moment was. “That’s just part of the game sometimes, you know, you go back and forth.
“I’ve seen the clip several times, I think it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what I said. I just know that it’s competitive stamina, competitive environment. He was wanting to make big plays and I was wanting to make them back. So sometimes that’s just what you get.”

Nix certainly got the last laugh, finishing the game with 273 passing yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers in a 29-19 win on the road.
