Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix was named the NFL Rookie of the Week for his performance against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10.
Against the Chiefs, Nix went 22-of-30 passing (73.3%) for 215 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers, good for a 115.3 passer rating. This is Nix’s first time winning the award in 2024.
According to a statement released by the Broncos, Week 10 was Nix’s third game this season with a passer rating of at least 100 and it was his fourth game with multiple passing scores.
Nix is the first Bronco to win the weekly award since Pat Surtain did it in Week 12 of 2021. Nix is also the fourth Broncos quarterback to win Rookie of the Week, joining Drew Lock, Tim Tebow and Jay Cutler.
