DENVER -- After what their rookie quarterback did to the Atlanta Falcons Sunday to keep the Denver Broncos in the AFC's playoff race, some Broncos players said the team's five-letter rookie quarterback just might have a future with a coveted three-letter award.
Bo Nix, who the Broncos selected No. 12 overall in this past April's draft, had career bests in passing yards (307), touchdown passes (four) and completion percentage (84.8) in the Broncos' 38-6 demolition of the Falcons at Empower Field at Mile High. The win moved the Broncos to 6-5 and keeps them in the AFC playoff race.
