Dan Orlovsky believes Broncos QB Bo Nix’s off form is worse than Drake Maye’s woes
At 3-2, the Denver Broncos are tied with the Las Vegas Raiders for second in the AFC West. Both teams are a game and a half behind the Kansas City Chiefs, who are undefeated at 4-0. While the Chiefs come off an early bye, the Broncos and Raiders both face difficult matchups against the Seahawks and Bills, respectively.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix's current off-form has left NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky concerned, suggesting it may be more detrimental than former first-round pick Drake Maye's struggles. The Broncos, currently tied with the Las Vegas Raiders for second place in the AFC West, face difficult challenges ahead, including a trip to Seattle for Thursday Night Football.
Orlovsky broke down Nix's issues, emphasizing that the significant regression is process-driven and derails timing and rhythm. Nix's completion percentage stands at just under 60 percent, a career low, and he has thrown for only 942 yards and six touchdowns this season, with three interceptions. His performance has been inconsistent, with only one game (a 23-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers) where he threw for over 250 yards.
Last season, Nix led Denver to the top seed in the AFC and an AFC Championship Game berth, but a broken ankle in the Divisional round ended his season. If the Broncos want to reclaim the top position in the AFC West, they need Nix to improve upon his 2025 form, or they may not reach their potential from the previous campaign.
