Bo Nix is seemingly impressing the Denver Broncos' teaching workers, together with head coach Sean Payton.
As reported by The Athletic's Dianna Russini, Broncos coaches “admired” the extraordinary sideline trade between Nix and Payton within the third quarter of their 34-18 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct. 6.
Russini pointed out the situation originated from Payton calling a play that Nix altered, leading to his coach berating him.
The play that Nix called should have ended in a 45-yard touchdown on third-and-3 because Troy Franklin was wide open in the end zone. Unfortunately, Franklin was unable to catch the ball, and the Broncos chose to punt on fourth down.
Both individuals had conflicting accounts after the game regarding what was actually communicated on the sideline. Nix joked they each expressed affection for each other. Payton tried to attract a comparability to Ferris Bueller, which was not fully profitable, however his effort is commendable.
Nix proceeded to use clips from Ferris Bueller's Day Off in his Instagram Stories as part of his summary of the game.
According to Russini, another coach in the AFC West commended the highlights that Nix featured in the video, as they were “mainly plays his teammates executed, on both sides of the ball.”
There appeared to be no skepticism about how invested Payton was in Nix as a prospect. Following the Broncos' selection of the Oregon quarterback with the No. 12 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, ESPN's Adam Schefter remarked that Payton felt “as strongly” about Nix as a prospect as he did Patrick Mahomes throughout his draft 12 months in 2017.
Nix remains to be studying on the job, however there have been indicators of encouragement from his efficiency to this point. The conquer the Raiders marked his preliminary recreation with a number of landing passes. Additionally, he accomplished a career-high 70.4 % of his makes an attempt within the victory.
Denver has secured three consecutive victories following an 0-2 begin. Nix will intention to take care of the constructive momentum on Sunday when the Broncos welcome the Los Angeles Chargers, with the victor holding sole possession of second place within the AFC West.
