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.

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>

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.

Second-year wide receiver Troy Franklin brings deep-threat ability, while free-agent addition Evan Engram provides a versatile presence at tight end. The passing game also gets a boost from Sutton, who signed a four-year, $92 million contract extension in late July, with $40 million guaranteed. With these weapons in place, Denver’s offense is aiming to build on last season’s 10-7 finish that ended a nine-year playoff drought.</p><p>Nix and the Broncos will open their season at home against a rebuilding Titans team.

The Hall of Fame quarterback believes the young signal caller possesses all the necessary tools to <a href="https://www.denverpost.com/2025/09/01/peyton-manning-bo-nix-broncos-sophomore-slump/" rel="noopener">avoid the dreaded ‘sophomore slump’</a> that second-year players often endure.</p><p>“I just don’t see that as being a big factor for him,” Manning told Troy Renck of The Denver Post. “Rookie quarterbacks are supposed to struggle, and then the game slows down. But it sure looked like it slowed down a lot for him last year. Like with C.J. Stroud, Bo didn’t play like a rookie. … I believe experience is the best teacher, and he got great experience last year.”</p><h2><b>Continuity in Broncos organization bodes well for Bo Nix</b></h2><p>Manning’s confidence in Nix stems from what he’s observed in not only his performance but also his character. He also referenced the Broncos’ struggles to find a quarterback after his retirement, and is happy the team has found continuity in and around Nix.</p><p>“Bo is made of the right stuff,” said Manning.”He’s a little bit older, carries himself the right way. And all of it should help as he moves forward in his career. I am just happy that Bo is the established starter. For a number of years, they had quarterback competitions. That’s hard on the receivers, the coaches, the play-caller, and the quarterback. Now, they’ve got their guy.”</p><p>Manning emphasized the value of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/broncos-news-sean-payton-reveals-bo-nix-stat-that-made-him-fall-in-love">continuity between Nix and head coach Sean Payton</a> heading into Year 2. Following Gary Kubiak stepping down a year after Manning’s retirement, the Broncos endured four different head coaches in the span of five years.</p><p>The Broncos finally understood the importance of a quality head coach and brought in Payton.</p><p>“There are times when guys go into their second year, and they are going on their third coordinator. … He has an experienced head coach in Sean, who is his play-caller. Having that same voice and verbiage is so critical. We expect Sean to be here for a long time, so Bo will use that to his advantage,” said Manning. “When you look around the league at guys who play well, they often have the same coordinator. It is not automatic, but it makes a difference.”</p><p>Manning’s endorsement carries significant weight given his own success in Denver.

They’re not going to let the noise and distractions get to them. They’re excited to get out there.”</p><p>Nix made it clear that the team echoes <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/broncos-news-bo-nix-already-focused-on-playoffs-as-training-camp-begins">Payton’s ultimate goal to reach the Super Bowl</a>. He said that Denver’s players do not need to constantly talk about it because their preparation shows it.</p><p>“You never know. We could go out there and have a great season. We could go out there and have to learn a lot. But we are definitely going to be trying,” Nix said.</p><h2><b>Bo Nix is impressing his Broncos teammates and coaches</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Cortland-Sutton-Broncos.jpg"><figcaption>Mark Konezny-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton praised Nix’s maturity and football IQ, saying the young quarterback has already shown leadership in the huddle and during sideline adjustments.</p><p>“It’s just those little things for a guy going into his second year,” Sutton said. “For him to have that awareness, man, it’s been amazing to pick his brain on certain things.”</p><p>Denver went 10-7 last season and reached the playoffs with Nix as a rookie. The Broncos bolstered their roster in the offseason by adding key defensive players and improving their run game with veteran J.K. Dobbins and rookie RJ Harvey.</p><p>Nix knows that Payton’s praise comes with pressure, especially in an AFC stacked with star quarterbacks. But he is embracing the challenge and the daily grind of training camp.</p><p>“We’ve put a lot of hard work into this. Each and every day it’s a battle, it’s a grind, and we just want to see the fruits of our labor,” Nix said. “We talk about Super Bowls, we talk about winning culture, I think that helps a lot in being the best that I can be.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/broncos-news-defense-brock-purdys-life-hell-joint-practice">defense was one of the best</a> in the league, but it was also the offense and the play of Box Nix in his rookie season that kept them afloat.</p><p>Nix showed a lot of good things in his first year, and there’s no doubt room for improvement. There is a scenario where things don’t get better for Nix, and ESPN’s Seth Walder <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45920966/2025-nfl-future-power-rankings-projections-32-teams-roster-coaching-quarterback" rel="noopener">had a bold prediction</a> about the Broncos’ quarterback.</p><p>“Nix will lose his starting job during the 2027 season, which will be his last as a Bronco,” Walder wrote. “There’s optimism around him now, but there’s reason to be skeptical in the long term. As a rookie, his rushing led him to be decent efficiency-wise. But he ranked 28th in completion percentage over expectation (minus-2.4%) and 22nd in yards per dropback (6.16) despite playing behind a top-tier offensive line. The roster around him is great now, but it won’t always be.”</p><p>If Nix is not able to fix his efficiency, there could be a reason to be concerned about him in the long run. Like Walder noted, this team won’t always be around him, which means he’s going to have to get better.</p><h2><b>There is optimism surrounding Bo Nix</b></h2><p>If we’re sticking to the present day, there’s a lot to be excited about when it comes to Nix and what he can turn into through his career. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/broncos-news-pat-surtain-sends-bo-nix-warning-nfl">His teammates are high on him</a>, especially Pat Surtain II, who has to go up against him in practice. The star cornerback recently spoke about Nix, and said that he’s going to be a problem in the league.</p><p>“When he first came in, like he was ready,” Surtain said. “He was sound. Everything about him just screamed veteran QB in a way. I feel like this year, you know, he’s more composed, understands the offense even more, more confident, even more vocal.</p><p>“He’s a great leader out there. He brings [the offense] together. You can just tell he’s been working in the offseason.

You’re always hoping a quarterback is going to handle himself in the right way when he’s successful.
