Denver Broncos Rookie quarterback Bo Nix was on fire.
Below a 29:19 win against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Nix now holds franchise records for most wins (seven), passing yards (2,548), completions (259) and passing touchdowns (16) by a rookie QB.
Nix has eight touchdown passes and no interceptions in his last three games, joining Peyton Manning as the only other Bronco to accomplish that feat since then at least 1970. Nix and Dak Prescott are the only rookie QBs in NFL history to ever post this statistic.
Nix also joined an elite list of four other quarterbacks who have totaled 20 touchdowns and two or fewer turnovers in a 10-game span during a season, joining Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes.

Nix is on pace to break almost all of the Broncos' rookie passing records, and so was John Elway I'm happy to see him do that.
“You know what? I'm glad he's breaking them because it was my rookie year, we weren't very good,” Elway said in one Interview with Broncos Wire last week. “So it’s nice to see that he got off to a better start than me.”
Nix will look to add to his impressive numbers when Denver hosts the Cleveland Browns Monday Night Football in week 13.
