Last week's game against the Las Vegas Raiders Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix went viral after CBS cameras captured the rookie in a crazy exchange with defensive lineman Tyree Wilson.
It seemed like Nix told Wilson he wasn't afraid of anything, but the quarterback isn't entirely sure what he said. He explained after practice on Friday that it was just a competition in the heat of the moment.
“I didn't do it,” Nix said when asked if he was aware of how viral this moment was. “It’s just part of the game sometimes, you know, you go back and forth.
“I've seen the clip several times, I think it's hard to say exactly what I said. All I know is that it depends on competitive endurance and the competitive environment. He wanted to make big plays and I wanted to get them back. Sometimes that’s exactly what you get.”

Nix certainly had the last laugh, finishing the game with 273 passing yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers a 29:19 win on the street.
