Bo Nix’s case for Offensive Rookie of the Year just keeps getting better.
The Broncos starting quarterback was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week after his performance in Denver’s 38-6 win over the Atlanta Falcons last week.
Nix, the first rookie quarterback in team history to receive the honor, delivered his best performance of the season, completing 28 of 33 passes (84.8%) for 307 yards and four touchdowns. He is the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to record 300 passing yards, four passing touchdowns and complete 80 percent of his throws in a game.
