Bo Nix: I don't know where the disconnect is offensively
The point of playing football games is to win football games and the Broncos were able to do that against the Seahawks on Thursday night, but the result didn't shield their quarterback Bo Nix from some harsh criticism after the game.
Quarterback Bo Nix remains perplexed by his team's offensive struggles despite Denver's 17-14 overtime victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night. During the postgame show on Prime Video, former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick labeled Nix's performance as "garbage." The Broncos managed to score 153 yards in just two early touchdown drives that put them ahead 14-0, but they only gained two first downs after that, relying heavily on seven punts.
Nix completed 17 of his 27 passes for 107 yards, with his longest pass covering 16 yards. He explained that he wasn't trying to be overly conservative and questioned why his team couldn't push the ball vertically. Nix acknowledged the Broncos' offensive capabilities and design but couldn't figure out the disconnect that prevents them from creating explosive plays.
The only positive aspect was that the Broncos didn't turn the ball over, while the Seahawks made three mistakes, including an interception in overtime that set up Denver's winning points. Head coach Sean Payton mentioned that they would address the issues during the upcoming games, but it's evident that his decision to take over playcalling hasn't resolved the problems with Nix or the rest of the offensive unit.
