Why Bo Nix impressed Rich Eisen despite Broncos’ loss

Bo Nix made his NFL debut for the Denver Broncos this past weekend. Although the Broncos would end up losing the rookie quarterback’s opening start to the Seattle Seahawks, 26-20, apparently he left optimism to rise.

Nix finished the game 26-of-42 passing for 138 yards and two interceptions. He also got sacked twice but rushed for a touchdown that made the game close at the end. Another positive was his 62% completion rate. Perhaps this is why famed sportscaster Rich Eisen walked away impressed with Nix and his performance.

Eisen thought that despite struggles, there was much to like about the QB and that Broncos fans should remain optimistic going forward. Eisen posted on Twitter/X about his thoughts on Nix, and despite the backlash, he stood on how he felt and believed that Broncos fans should remember it’s only the first game of the season.

Check out Eisen’s reasoning for his Nix take below:
