Bo Nix had a career game. He achieved career highs in yards, completion percentage and touchdowns, but also set a new Denver Broncos record. He passed John Elway and Drew Lock on the Broncos’ rookie quarterback wins list. Nix was tied with Elway and Lock with 4 wins, but he now holds the team record with 5 and will look to keep the field at bay with more wins the rest of the season.

Nix was asked about it after the Broncos’ win over the Saints last week on Thursday Night Football and he told reporters, “It means a lot.”

“It means a lot. You’re talking about one of the greats to ever make it in our organization. It means a lot. You are in good company. I’m not finished yet. We still have a lot to do, so I definitely don’t want to stop here. We will continue to get better as a team. I will continue to grow and learn as a player. Hopefully we can continue to celebrate victories like this.”

This is one of the team records that Nix should break this season, and he did just that today. The fact that the rookie quarterbacks’ winning record is just 4 shows the problems the Broncos have had with their rookie quarterbacks since Elway. However, that record now belongs to Nix and he would break his own record several more times this season.

The Broncos’ rookie touchdown record is held by Marlin Briscoe, who threw 14 touchdowns for the team in 1968. Nix currently has 8 passing touchdowns and is on pace to surpass Briscoe this season. If you include his rushing touchdowns, the Broncos’ rookie has 11 total touchdowns this year.

If things continue like this, Nix will hold all of the Broncos’ rookie records at quarterback and hopefully lead the Broncos back to the postseason.
