Denver: It was a nail-biter for the Broncos against the Colts on Sunday. For a while, it seemed like they were going to miss a big chance to secure their playoff spot.
The Colts jumped ahead 10-0 and held a 13-10 lead going into the last quarter, thanks to three picks thrown by Bo Nix. But the Colts kept giving the ball back, and Nix finally found his rhythm.
In the fourth quarter, he threw two touchdown passes, leading the Broncos to a 31-13 victory. This win pushed them to the sixth seed in the AFC, improving their record to 9-5. Coach Sean Payton praised Nix’s performance, saying it showed why the team believes in themselves, even when things get tough.
“He didn’t flinch when we needed him,” Payton said. “He’s got this maturity and confidence that really lifts the team. When your quarterback has that, everyone feels like they’re in the game.”
Nix came into the NFL with plenty of college experience, which helps him handle pressure better than most rookies. That experience really paid off for the Broncos on Sunday and has been key to their success this season.
