Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix faced heavy criticism from teammate Ryan Fitzpatrick following the team's 17-14 overtime victory against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. Fitzpatrick expressed his frustration, stating that the Broncos were struggling offensively in the second half and that Nix's performance was uncompetitive at best.
Nix, who threw for 107 yards on four yards per attempt, found himself in the spotlight for his subpar play. The criticism from Fitzpatrick resonated with teammate Tony Gonzalez, who noted that the team's defense alone was protecting Nix's position. Both Fitzpatrick and Gonzalez echoed the sentiment that Nix's play had been anemic and that changes were needed to improve the team's offensive output.
Nix himself acknowledged the criticism, attributing his inconsistent performance to the narrative surrounding him and emphasizing that he feels he's playing similar to how he normally does. Despite the mounting pressure, the Broncos remain 4-2, with their next matchup against the Arizona Cardinals looming in Week 7.
