The Indianapolis Colts are preparing to travel to Colorado this week to face the Denver Broncos in Week 15 of the 2024 NFL season.
Ahead of that matchup with big playoff implications, Colts coach Shane Steichen gave an honest (and complimentary) assessment of Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix.
“He’s been doing a hell of a job,” Steichen said, via James Boyd of The Athletic. “He’s playing really good ball right now. I think the biggest thing [is] he’s throwing the ball accurately, and he’s making a lot of plays with his legs and creating. So, it’ll be a hell of a challenge for us on Sunday because he’s playing really good ball right now.”

Nix has completed 63.8% of his passes this season for 2,842 yards with 17 touchdowns against eight interceptions. He’s also rushed for 304 yards and four scores on the ground.
If Nix and the Broncos beat the Colts in Week 15, Denver will need just one more win and one Miami Dolphins loss to clinch a playoff spot.
