The frost burned off. The nerves calmed. The picture crystallized. When Bo Nix hit Courtland Sutton on third-and-6 with 1:53 remaining against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Broncos’ annual, endless, eternal pursuit of a quarterback ended.

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix knows he could've played better against the Kansas City Chiefs. Sean Payton was just speechless.

Nix’s mobility puts a huge strain on defenses, especially when the quarterback buys time and then finds a receiver down the field. Last week, he did a great job finding running back Javonte Williams in the middle of the field for a first down on a scramble drill.
