Twitter reacts to Bo Nix’s first start in the NFL

Bo Nix Twitter Inc. NFL Broncos Sean Payton

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix made the first (preseason) start of his NFL career against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.

Nix played about as well as the Broncos could have hoped for, completing eight of his nine pass attempts for 80 yards with one touchdown pass and no turnovers. He also rushed three times for 12 yards. The rookie quarterback played two drives that led to 10 points (Nix also had one touchdown pass nullified by a penalty).

Here’s a sampling of how Twitter/X reacted to Nix’s performance:

Nix has been competing with Jarrett Stidham for Denver’s starting job this summer. Following Sunday’s impressive performance, it’s hard to imagine anyone but Nix starting for the Broncos when they face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 on Sept. 8. Denver seems likely to announce a starter this week.

Six of Nix’s seven preseason drives ended with a score (the other drive ended with a fumble). Consider us Bolivers.
