In a disappointing Week 2 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos’ rookie quarterback, Bo Nix, found himself struggling once again, failing to throw a passing touchdown in his first two NFL starts. The 13-6 loss left fans wondering if Nix has what it takes to lead the Broncos to victory.
During the game, Nix had a crucial opportunity to score six points for his team, but a poorly thrown ball in the end zone resulted in an interception, halting Denver’s momentum. This mistake highlighted Nix’s ongoing struggles to find success in the league.
Post-game, when asked to explain what went wrong on the play, Nix responded with brutal honesty, saying, “Uh, yeah. Dropped back. Threw it to the other team.” His succinct explanation left little room for interpretation, showcasing his frustration with the costly turnover.
The interception by Pittsburgh’s Cory Trice Jr. came as Denver was driving down the field, reaching the Steelers’ 6-yard line in the third quarter. Nix’s attempt to connect with Courtland Sutton in the end zone backfired, resulting in yet another interception for the struggling quarterback.
With four interceptions already this season, Nix’s difficulties with reading coverages and forcing throws have become apparent. As he navigates the challenges of his early professional career, it’s clear that he has much to learn and improve upon if he hopes to find success in the NFL.
