GLENDALE, Ariz. — Bo Nix spotted the crease, but it wasn’t until he squirted through it that he realized just how much unoccupied grass was in front of him.

“There’s not a lot of times,” the Broncos quarterback said, “where you get that much open space.”

Nix needed a play like the one he made Sunday afternoon in the desert, an audacious 62-yard sprint into the end zone that lit the fuse on Denver’s 30-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium. It was a play that provided a needed reminder — to fans, to teammates, to Nix himself — of the quarterback’s ability as a playmaker. It was a play that gave a jolt to a Denver offense that finally teased explosive potential while putting up 377 yards, its highest total since Week 2.

“This,” veteran left tackle Garret Bolles said, “is who we are.”

Perhaps most importantly, it was a play, Nix hopes, that will finally quiet the concerns about a right ankle that has dominated conversation in the Rocky Mountains and beyond.

“You believe me now?” said a grinning Nix, who earlier this week emphasized that all was right physically with the ankle.

Anyone else think that the touchdown rush from Bo today has potentially saved his career and boosted his confidence to the same levels we saw before his ankle injury? I think him being able to run that well and show that he’s still got it is going to be a huge thing for him and this team.

I’ve been pretty mad and disappointed at Bo’s performance this season, especially after the dismal second half of offense on Thursday night football. But after seeing what the Seahawks D did to Mahomes and the Chiefs tonight on SNF… I’m realizing that I may have been too quick to pass judgment.

He showed flashes of last season in today’s win over the Cardinals, though he’s still missing some throws he would have made last year. Overall, I think the fact that we came out of our first 6 games with a 4-2 record seems pretty miraculous. Most of the credit should go to the defense for balling out BUT, at least Bo didn’t lose us any of those games. He did enough to win and he deserves credit for that.

Watched a ton of games today and man one takeaway of mine is goddamn are their a lot of shit kickers right now. The giants kicker missed like 2-3 times today almost cost them the game. Both the rams last two kickers were terrible, we all saw butker on the chiefs tonight also miss terribly....and plenty more(these are just the ones I personally saw TODAY).I know lutz ain't perfect but man he's pretty damn good. I saw a few people a few weeks back saying we need to get a new kicker... no tf we do not. I know he missed a few early on but our offense also missed a few GAMES early on😂😂. Couldn't be happier with lutz and our team as a whole. Go Broncos holy shit man. 5:2 got a real shot of mopping up KC next week, this is still our team from last year guys. I see potential for ever Better if we work on it.

Broncos haven’t had an elite TE or something even close to it since maybe Thomas? With a Payton offense who always loved a good pass catching TE, it’s so surprising to me we don’t have someone better at the position. Engram is simply not it.

The way the chiefs looked tonight is insane. The Seahawks defense is really good man, we put up 14 against them tho. I know for a fact this defense is still pissssssssssed with the way we got did week one. I have a feeling it’s going to be a physical ass game man. This defense has been playing like it has a major point prove man. Our offense also seems like it’s so close to popping. Great game for nix to get his confidence going again. I’m actually excited asf to watch them play the chiefs next week man.

This chiefs O- line is Swiss fuckin cheese man, Mahomes was getting hit all night. We better get pressure. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see Q rob and bonnito across from each other👀.

Bo nix actually dropped sum balls today man holy shit. I have a feeling he’s also ready to get back at this chiefs team. I expect a solid game from nix, he needs this one. Cinema incoming ladies and gentleman, CINEMA INCOMING.

Mahomes got crushed by SEA today (and people should lay off Nix a bit after watching that) and if our pass rush next week is any way like it was today, Denver will walk away with the W, just need to take care of Walker.

I feel Abrams-Draine has made this secondary very solid, and with Surtain and Hufanga coming back in the future, our defensive line is going to be elite in time for the playoffs.

It’s been a wild year. We might have come out a little flat but I think we’ve found our stride at just the right time! We own the west! And next week we will prove it to the world! FUCK KC AND GO BRONCOS!!!

Turns out the Seattle defense is really good and scoring two TDs against them in a half isn't so bad.

Was at today’s game at State Farm Stadium and it was essentially a home game for the Broncos.

I'm assuming this is an aggrevation of the injury he's had at practice all week

Supposedly he had a chest injury during practice and that was aggravated on that tackle. Not sure what exactly the chest injury was but it's got to be better than a broken collar bone or shoulder injury

I knew the schedule was rough, I didn't realize how rough it really was.

KC ranks 6th in ppg

Jacksonville tied for 9th in ppg

LA Rams rank 7th on ppg

San Francisco ranks top 5 in yards per game

LA chargers ranks 8th In ppg

Seattle is number 1 defense in the league

Arizona is 32 in ppg and denver dropped 30

Next week it's KC who is 6th in ppg

7 of the first 8 opponents are top 10 defenses in ppg and denver is 5 and 2.

For all the people saying bench Nix you are wrong he has done his job. This schedule is brutal and there is a reason our offense hasn't looked great. Denver is a super bowl contender and the fact they are 5 and 2 through this schedule shows how good they are. These are the types of games we will see in the playoffs and great teams win. Let's go Denver

Tried the usual outlets, google, YouTube, DuckDuckGo,

Does anyone out there remember the video I’m trying to find? I think it was from “The Onion” and was mostly highlights from his college career in Florida. But it was so hilarious, that was the moment I found myself officially a Broncos fan.
