Broncos QB Bo Nix aims to play more free: ‘Who cares?’
"At the end of the day, who cares? Why would I [be] worried about throwing an interception?" Bo Nix is about to have the best or worst game ever.
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has struggled in the first five games of the season, completing only 97 of 162 passes for 942 yards with six touchdowns and three interceptions. His performance has raised concerns among fans and analysts. Nix attributes his issues partly to the mental aspect, admitting that he tends to overanalyze and overthink.
He wants to simplify his approach, stating, “Who cares? Just play the play. If the play is there, hit it. If it isn’t, check it down, run, throw it away.” Wide receiver Courtland Sutton supports Nix, acknowledging the pressure of being the team’s star quarterback and emphasizing that everyone in the locker room has his back. Nix also admits that he has been holding back to avoid mistakes, fearing turnovers that could put his defense in a difficult position.
However, he encourages himself to play aggressively, reminding himself at the end of the day, “Who cares? I’m just going to focus on making the right play.” Nix’s outlook for Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks is positive, hoping he can follow coach Sean Payton’s advice and “let it rip” to have his best performance of the season.
