Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has received a nomination for the Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week award on NFL.com for Week 7.
Nix, who helped the Broncos to a 33-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints last Thursday, has Denver rolling with a 4-3 record. In the win against New Orleans, Nix completed 16 of 26 attempts (61.5 percent) for 164 yards. Nix would also rush for 75 yards.
Due to his steady performance, he was nominated for Week 7’s Rookie of the Week award. He faces stiff competition from Drake Maye, Keon Coleman, and Brock Bowers. Will he win? Time will tell, but the honor is great nonetheless.
Nix and his Broncos will face off against the Carolina Panthers this week. A win will put the Broncos two games over .500 and may make them contenders for the playoff race. Congrats to Nix, though, for the nomination, as his play has helped steer the Broncos to a winning record.
