Bo Nix's inconsistent footwork has been a consistent throughout the Denver Broncos' 4-3 start to the season, but head coach Sean Payton said that he's also wary of "over-coaching" his rookie quarterback. Nix threw for only 164 yards while completing 16 of 26 passes in the Broncos' 33-10 victory at New Orleans on Thursday night. But the passing game took a backseat with Denver rushing for 225 yards and dominating time of possession in a game that was well in hand by the middle of the third quarter. Amazon analyst Kirk Herbstreit was the latest to highlight Nix's inconsistent footwork during the telecast after the quarterback misfired to multiple open receivers.
