Bo Nix took a moment to appreciate the Broncos’ all-Oregon touchdown in the fourth quarter Sunday against the Chargers.
A trio of college teammates handled the football’s chain of custody, with Alex Forsyth snapping it to Nix. who then threw it to Troy Franklin for Franklin’s first career touchdown.
But a different comment Nix made about the play after Denver’s 23-16 loss to Los Angeles is much more interesting and more indicative of the direction this offense needs to go in the coming weeks.
“He ran a great route. We actually had a conversion on that play,” Nix said, meaning Franklin’s route changed at the line of scrimmage based on either a call or the coverage the Chargers showed.
