Nix joins Elway, Manning in history books after Sunday win

DENVER (KDVR) — Just in his second season, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has already found himself in the record books alongside the names of NFL and Broncos legends Peyton Manning and John Elway.

There’s still some time to go before he can match the accomplishments accumulated in both of their careers, but the Knicks moved one step closer in the Broncos’ 44-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

On Sunday, the Knicks released stats, including;

  • 19-29 passes completed
  • 247 yards
  • 4 assists

After throwing four touchdown passes in the game, he earned his third win with four touchdown passes, joining Manning and Elway as the only quarterbacks in Broncos history with at least three games with four touchdown passes. According to the Denver Broncos.

As a sophomore, Nix was already bumping into the greats. Broncos fans can only hope that he continues hitting elbows for many more years.
