With a chance to clinch a playoff berth for the first time since the 2015-16 NFL season, the Denver Broncos (9-6) wilted in the second half and fell to the Los Angeles Chargers, 34-27. A wacky and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-news-cameron-dicker-stuns-nfl-broncos-game-rare-feat-seen-1976">rare fair-catch free kick</a> dampened a hot start for Sean Payton’s group and portended a dismal ending to their Thursday Night Football matchup.</p><p>The Broncos’ inability to score a touchdown in the final 30 minutes of game time (held to two field goals), along with a concerning vulnerability against chunk plays, results in them sliding back to the final <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/afc-playoff-picture-after-steelers-texans-clinch-their-spots-in-week-15">AFC Wild Card slot</a>. They are leaving the door ajar for the Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins and their Week 17 opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals.</p><p>Bo Nix played respectably, completing 29-of-40 passes for 263 yards and two touchdowns, but he is <a href="https://x.com/christomasson/status/1869970351188521042" rel="noopener">dissatisfied with how the offense executed</a> coming out of halftime. The rookie quarterback is also not downplaying the importance of next Sunday’s game in Paycor Stadium.</p><p>“No excuses,” Nix told the media after the loss, per the Denver Gazette’s Chris Tomasson. “We got to move the ball better… We know this next one is the most important.”</p><h2><b>Broncos cannot lose their edge now</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Broncos-HC-Sean-Payton-observes-his-team.jpg"><figcaption>Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Denver’s wait for postseason football could end with a win versus the Bengals (6-8), but it has issues that must be addressed before the pivotal showdown. The Broncos found early success in LA by trusting their running backs, which helped them score touchdowns on their first three drives. Strangely, however, head coach Sean Payton veered away from the rushing game in the second half. Variety is an essential part of any offensive strategy, especially one that involves a rookie signal-caller.</p><p>Although Bo Nix has shown remarkable growth this year, he still has plenty to grasp. Masking limitations in high-stakes competition while also facilitating development is a demanding challenge that few franchises can effectively overcome. Still, it is a dilemma the Broncos and their fans are grateful to be faced with during the final stretch of the campaign.</p><p>Denver will reflect on its TNF missteps and devise a plan that can finally get the franchise back to the postseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But while the final score indicated a laugher, the Broncos faced some serious adversity against the Colts. Rookie quarterback <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-bo-nix-makes-loser-admission-3-pick-game-win-colts">Bo Nix had a three-interception game</a>, throwing his third pick with Denver trailing 13-7 halfway through the third quarter. The Broncos appeared on the verge of choking away an important home game until the team’s 21-point fourth quarter transformed the contest into an easy win.</p><p>Although Nix is putting together a sensational rookie season that seems certain to establish him as the Broncos’ long term answer at QB, fans in Denver turned on the first-year passer during his rough start Sunday. That fact was not lost on wideout Courtland Sutton.</p><p>After the Week 15 victory, Sutton said he <a href="https://x.com/ZacStevensDNVR/status/1868472288938733743" rel="noopener">heard the home crowd</a> getting on Nix and called it “disheartening” and “BS,” per Broncos reporter Zac Stevens on X. The receiver made it clear the team is fully confident in the young quarterback.</p><p>Denver selected Nix with the 12th overall pick in the 2024 draft. He’s played exceptionally well as a rookie, trailing only the Washington Commanders’ first-year signal caller Jayden Daniels for Rookie of the Year honors. Still, there have been hiccups over the course of the season, as you would expect with any young player. But Sutton has consistently had his quarterback’s back.</p><h2><b>Bo Nix has delivered for the Broncos in his rookie season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Bo-Nix_5c7a19.jpg"><figcaption>Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The seventh-year WR <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-courtland-sutton-major-bo-nix-endorsement-win-vs-buccaneers">gave Nix a major endorsement</a> after his first win as a starter in Week 3. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-courtland-sutton-gives-eye-opening-outlook-on-bo-nix">Sutton hyped up the QB</a> after a four-touchdown performance against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11. And he’s even likened their potential partnership to the highly successful <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-broncos-courtland-sutton-sees-aaron-rodgers-davante-adams-connection-developing-bo-nix">Aaron Rodgers-Davante Adams connection in Green Bay</a>.</p><p>So, clearly, Sutton is not going to remain silent when Nix is getting booed at home in a game the Broncos ended up winning 31-13. Nonetheless, the rookie quarterback did not play well for most of the afternoon. He finished with 20 completions for 130 yards, tossing three touchdowns along with three interceptions. Nix was also Denver’s leading rusher with 23 yards. Although, that says more about the Broncos’ lack of a running game than anything else.</p><p>Sutton is enjoying a Pro Bowl-caliber season. The wideout is on pace for a new career-high in receptions as well as his second-most receiving yards and touchdowns in a season. Nix, meanwhile, has completed 63.3 percent of his passes for 2,972 yards, 20 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 14 games. He’s also added 327 rushing yards and four additional scores on the ground.</p><p>Most importantly, the Broncos are winning. The team improved to 9-5 with Sunday’s win and, despite playing in a highly competitive division with the 13-1 Kansas City Chiefs and 8-6 LA Chargers, Denver currently holds the second Wild Card berth.</p><p>The Broncos have a <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40617435/2024-nfl-playoff-picture-afc-nfc-seed-predictions-odds-super-bowl" rel="noopener">93 percent chance</a> of reaching the playoffs, according to ESPN. But the team, and its young quarterback, will be tested with games against the Chargers, Bengals and Chiefs to close out the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Originally from the small town of Elba, New York, Sonny received his degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and currently resides in Cleveland, Ohio.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Denver Broncos</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>With a loaded late-afternoon slate of games, it would be easy for the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/colts-vs-broncos-predictions-pick-odds-spread-for-nfl-week-15-2024">matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos</a> to slip through the cracks, even though both teams are very much in the hunt for an AFC Wild Card berth. However, adding some intrigue to this game is the fact that it would be easy to frame this game as <i>The Peyton Manning Bowl. </i></p><p>Manning played 13 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts before spending the final four years of his career with the Denver Broncos. Though Manning’s peak certainly came in Indy, it’s easy to argue that the single best season of his Hall of Fame career came in the 2013 season. On their way to an AFC Title, Manning set the NFL records for both passing yards (5,477) and passing touchdowns (55), which propelled him to a nearly unanimous MVP award.</p><p>Since retirement, Manning has been inducted into both the Indianapolis Colts Ring of Honor and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-peyton-manning-enshrined-into-denvers-ring-of-fame">Denver Broncos Ring of Fame</a>, but his allegiance clearly lies in the Mile High City. Manning lives in Denver and has voiced interest in becoming a minority owner of the Broncos, and on Sunday afternoon, <a href="https://x.com/Broncos/status/1868402728168534121" rel="noopener">prior to kickoff</a> between his two former teams, Manning was chatting up Denver’s rookie quarterback Bo Nix.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="und">1️⃣8️⃣ &amp; 🔟 <a href="https://t.co/zqrSF1fyV0">pic.twitter.com/zqrSF1fyV0</a></p><p>— Denver Broncos (@Broncos) <a href="https://twitter.com/Broncos/status/1868402728168534121?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 15, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>Fans in Denver are hoping that Nix will someday soon become the third quarterback in Broncos history to lead the team to a Super Bowl title, joining Manning, who got the job done in his final season thanks in large part to a devastating Broncos D, and John Elway, who won back-to-back Super Bowls in his final two NFL seasons.</p><p>For Bo Nix, that Super Bowl title may still be many years away, but everything we’ve seen from the former Oregon Ducks signal-caller looks promising. Through the first 13 games of his career, Nix has completed 64 percent of his passes for 2,842 yards and 17 touchdowns. He’s also added 304 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Even more impressively, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-bo-nix-urgent-playoff-heading-bye-week">Nix has the Broncos on the verge of making the postseason</a> for the first time since Peyton Manning was still under center.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One reason for Denver’s recent success has been the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-bo-nix-legendary-company-hot-streak">solid quarterback play of rookie Bo Nix</a>.</p><p>Nix spoke with reporters on Wednesday <a href="https://x.com/ZacStevensDNVR/status/1867005719968641423" rel="noopener">about his leadership style during his rookie season</a>.</p><p>“That’s a great question. My role right now is simply I have to go out there and perform on Sundays so that I can help these guys win games and keep these guys going,” Nix said per Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. “That’s my job as a quarterback right now. You have to honestly take the rookie out of it — it doesn’t matter. They’re looking at you like a starting quarterback in the league, so I just have to treat it that way.”</p><p>Nix is very aware that he has not accomplished anything yet in the NFL, so he won’t pretend that he has. It seems that has earned the respect of veterans on the team.</p><p>“Right now being young, I can’t talk a whole lot. There’s not much I can say,” Nix continued. “I haven’t really proven anything, so I just have to go out there and work. They want to see teh work, and they want to see how hard I’m preparing and what I’m doing off the field. Do I show up the same every day? I think when they see that, they have a form of respect and trust.”</p><p>Ultimately, Nix seems to understand that putting in the hard work is the best thing he can do as a rookie.</p><p>“It’s all about putting my head down and working hard,” Nix concluded. “I think they respect that.”</p><h2><b>Bo Nix sent urgent message to Broncos heading into bye week</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Broncos-QB-Bo-Nix_c92c0c.jpg"><figcaption>Mitch Stringer-Imagn Image</figcaption></figure><p>Nix understands that even if he isn’t trying to be <i>the</i> leader of the Broncos, he is still expected to be a franchise quarterback.</p><p>One thing that comes along with being QB1 is setting the expectations for the team. Nix did just that back in Week 13 right <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-bo-nix-urgent-playoff-heading-bye-week">before the Broncos headed into their bye week</a>.</p><p>“Finish strong,” Nix said after beating the Browns in Week 13. “We’re going for a playoff spot.”</p><p>The Broncos currently hold the No. 7 seed in the AFC heading into Week 15. They should be relatively safe as long as they can string together a win or two down the stretch. The Broncos are two games ahead of the Colts and Dolphins, who are the winningest teams still in the playoff hunt.</p><p>Denver has games against Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and Kansas City coming up. Those games against the Colts and Chargers could be the two most important games on the schedule for clinching a playoff berth.</p><p>It will be interesting to see what happens over the final four weeks of the regular season.</p><p>Next up for the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/schedule/upcoming">Broncos is a Week 15 matchup against the Colts</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
