Boring Bo is not bad for the Broncos. Denver has posted seven straight losing seasons and missed the playoffs eight consecutive years. There is nothing boring about winning after reaching the nadir of suffering since Super Bowl 50.
The Broncos have reeled off three straight victories and can win two straight division games to start a season for the first time since 2017. Are you not entertained? During this streak, Bo Nix has become khaki pants and a white t-shirt. If he were a vegetable, he would be kale.
And there is nothing wrong with that. As , the Broncos’ formula for success would center on protecting the rock, producing turnovers, and finding an edge in the special teams margins. Over the past three weeks, Nix has not given the ball away and taken only three sacks.
The Broncos are plus-4 in turnover margin, while yielding 11.3 points per game. Sound familiar? Last season when they won five straight, the Broncos delivered 16 takeaways with only three giveaways, while holding opponents to 16 points per game.
Bo-redom can be a good thing at this point in his career. His resume boasts five games. It remains jarring, for sure.
At Oregon, Nix produced statistics that were more stylish than the Ducks’ uniforms. In his first two weeks in the NFL, he learned a sobering truth foreign to only C.J.
Stroud and Jayden Daniels. The transition to the league is more of a four-wheel excursion than an E-470 straightaway. The Broncos dropped their initial two games as Nix dropped back.
