And will head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/broncos-news-denver-week-1-debacle-sean-payton-self-check">Sean Payton chill on his team</a> a bit? The Broncos’ offensive coordinator pointed out one area that caused Nix’s Week 1 struggles.</p><p>It’s as simple as fundamentals, according to a post on X by Zac Stevens.</p><p>“Joe Lombardi pointed to Bo Nix’s footwork as a reason why he [was] inconsistent throwing the ball in Week 1”</p><p>“It’s mostly just timing and where your feet are at,” Lombardi said. “A couple of the interceptions were movement throws. I think it’s just getting your feet set in the right position.”</p><h2><b>Broncos QB Bo Nix looking for improvement</b></h2><p>Lombardi said Nix isn’t a true pocket-passing quarterback. So the team doesn’t want to limit his mobility.</p><p>“It’s always a challenge with a quarterback like him,” Lombardi said. “You don’t want him to just be a statue in there. When he moves, good things happen. Sometimes he moves and throws with his feet not perfectly set. Most of the time, he’s very accurate like that. I think if he misses, it’s usually his lower body.”</p><p>However, Broncos head coach Sean Payton said the <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46219615/broncos-sean-payton-takes-blame-turnovers-bo-nix" rel="noopener">blame doesn’t stand</a> at Nix’s doorstep, according to ESPN.</p><p>“I don’t know how many games I’ve called, but that’s one of those where I came away like, ‘Man, I’ve got to be a lot better,'” Payton said Wednesday. “… If you’re not careful, the game can be over and you’re on to the next game and you haven’t really … had the debrief properly. We’re really trying to pay attention to that.’</p><p>“If you looked at the down-and-distance, the hashmarks, some of the calls, from a timing standpoint, it’s more of some of the early plays, in the first half, Payton said. “And it’s cleaning up some of the details.”</p><p>Nix said he could have been better against the Titans. And he said the opponent doesn’t matter.</p><p>“It’s not about the stats, not about perfection, or things from the outside,” Nix said. “It’s about a standard that I have for myself. With our defense, we can definitely just make sure, at times, to give them great field position, and we’ll get the ball back. And we can keep going right back to work.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The second-year quarterback is now considering a change in his approach as the team prepares for Week 2.</p><p>The update came after Nix spoke to reporters following Wednesday’s practice, where he took accountability for his mistakes and suggested a shift toward a less aggressive approach. DNVR Sports’ Zac Stevens posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), sharing what the 25-year-old quarterback <a href="https://x.com/ZacStevensDNVR/status/1965891798775316790" rel="noopener">said when asked about</a> the turnovers in the season opener.</p><p>“Tough plays. All three of their guys made good plays… in the future maybe not be so aggressive.”</p><p>Nix finished with 176 yards, a touchdown, two interceptions, and a lost fumble in a game where Denver’s defense carried the load. The quarterback emphasized the importance of learning from those errors, especially with a tough road ahead.</p><p>The upcoming Broncos Week 2 matchup Sunday features a matchup vs. the Indianapolis Colts on the road, who are coming off a dominant 33-8 stomping of the Miami Dolphins, led by new starting quarterback Daniel Jones and an opportunistic defense. If Nix dials back his risk-taking, it could signal a strategic shift for a team that now relies heavily on its elite defense and field position.</p><p>This evolution may also impact the broader narrative currently surrounding the Broncos offense, as the second-year quarterback has already proven capable of striking that balance. Nix recorded a 93.3 passer rating in 2024, throwing for 3,775 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions over 17 games. His 29 touchdown passes were the second-most ever by a rookie quarterback in NFL history, and he led all rookies in both passing yards and touchdowns while finishing as a finalist for the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year award, which was ultimately won by Jayden Daniels.</p><p>A <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/broncos-news-sean-payton-weigh-bo-nix-turnovers-titans-takedown">more measured approach from the Broncos quarterback</a> could help reduce turnovers, but it may also limit the explosive plays that defined his breakout year. The challenge now is finding a way to adjust without losing what made Nix special.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Payton cut the reporter off and explained why a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrHMPWhTuas&amp;ab_channel=DenverBroncos" rel="noopener">‘growth meter’ shouldn’t be used</a> when evaluating Nix, especially this early in the season.</p><p>“Here’s the thing, though, and I appreciate the question, but we’re not going to have a growth meter each week in Year 2,” said Payton. “He’s in his second year. I love the player. I get a chance to see him every day. He can be a huge reason why we win games, and so we’re not going to have that weekly meter. That’s the first refused growth meter in Week 1. I mean, that’s crazy.”</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Broncos-head-coach-Sean-Payton-talks-to-quarterback-Bo-Nix-before-a-preseason-game-against-the-Saints.jpg"><figcaption>Matthew Hinton-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2>Sean Payton stands behind Bo Nix despite early struggles</h2><p>Despite Nix’s struggles, which included multiple turnovers and stalled offensive drives, Payton emphasized the most important statistic of all. The veteran coach praised his quarterback’s resilience and ability to bounce back when it mattered most.</p><p>“Well, we won, that’s the first thing. I thought he hung in there. He battled. Made some critical plays first in the second half,” said Payton. “Obviously, he’ll be disappointed with the turnovers, but it was a gutsy performance. Overall, his job is to lead us to score. I thought he played really well in the second half, and we won the game.”</p><p>Thankfully for Nix, the Broncos’ defense bailed out the offense from its struggles. The defense generated six sacks as well as multiple turnovers, and would effectively make rookie quarterback Cam Ward’s first regular-season start a miserable one. For Payton, the focus remains on team success rather than individual statistics or weekly progress reports on his developing quarterback’s journey.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite scoring only 20 points in the game, they were able to win and start on the right foot.</p><p>The Broncos’ defense allowed 133 total yards and forced two turnovers of their own to help secure the win. They also stopped the Titans’ offense late in the first half, which ended in a Courtland Sutton touchdown to give them the lead. Patrick Surtain II won Defensive Player of the Year last year, and that award could come from the Denver defense again.</p><p>The Broncos face the Colts, which may be a tougher matchup than originally anticipated, in Week 2. Can Nix and Payton stop the turnovers and secure a second win?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
