Bo Nix Explains Broncos’ Confidence in Achieving 11th Straight Victory

In a thrilling contest, the Denver Broncos secured their 11th consecutive victory with a 34–26 win over the Green Bay Packers. Quarterback Bo Nix led the charge with a remarkable performance, throwing for 302 yards and four touchdowns. This victory improved the Broncos’ record to 12–2, positioning them well for a potential No. 1 seed in the AFC.

Key Game Highlights

• Broncos were down 23-14 after a 40-yard touchdown run by Josh Jacobs.
• Defense shone as Patrick Surtain II intercepted Jordan Love, sparking a comeback.
• Denver scored 20 unanswered points to clinch the game.

Nix commented on the team’s mentality throughout the game, stating, “We didn’t flinch. We just didn’t pay attention to the score.” This resilience was evident as the Broncos executed a perfect seven-play, 71-yard drive without facing a third down, capped by a touchdown throw to Courtland Sutton.

Team Dynamics and Player Trust

Nix expressed confidence in Sutton, emphasizing their strong partnership developed through consistent practice. “I trust him as much as I’ve trusted any receiver I’ve ever played with,” Nix added. This trust was demonstrated on crucial plays, including a long pass to Sutton that set up another touchdown.

Defensively, Riley Moss joined Surtain in making key plays, further showcasing the team’s collective effort. Their season has been characterized by a dramatic turnaround from a troublesome start, as they regrouped from a two-game losing streak to dominate their remaining opponents effectively.

Upcoming Challenges

Looking ahead, the Broncos are eyeing significant matchups against the Jacksonville Jaguars next week and the Kansas City Chiefs shortly after. Both games present substantial opportunities to seal the top seed in the AFC. The Broncos’ home crowd has been pivotal for their success, creating a formidable atmosphere at Mile High.

With their current winning streak and a well-functioning roster, the Broncos appear poised to make a deep playoff run, reigniting hopes of a return to greatness within the organization. Bo Nix encapsulated their mindset effectively, stating, “It felt like a playoff environment. It wasn’t a fun place for another team to play.”
