Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix has been on fire.
Following a 29-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Nix now holds franchise records for the most wins (seven), passing yards (2,548), completions (259) and passing touchdowns (16) by a rookie QB.
Nix has eight touchdown passes and zero interceptions in his last three games, joining Peyton Manning as the only other Bronco to accomplish that feat since at least 1970. Nix and Dak Prescott are the only rookie QBs in NFL history to have ever posted that stat line.
Nix has also joined an elite list of four other quarterbacks who have posted 20 total touchdowns and two or fewer turnovers in a 10-game span during a season, joining Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes.

Nix is well on his way to breaking just about all of the Broncos’ rookie passing records, and John Elway has been pleased to see him do it.
“You know what? I’m glad he’s breaking them because it was my rookie year, we weren’t very good,” Elway said in an interview with Broncos Wire last week. “So it’s nice to see that he’s got out to a better start than I had.”
Nix will look to build on his impressive numbers when Denver hosts the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football in Week 13.
