Slowly but surely, the Denver Broncos have crawled out from a horrendous start to the season to announce themselves as a potential playoff team after three big wins in a row behind the arm of their rookie quarterback in Bo Nix. Against the divisional rival Las Vegas Raiders, Nix put on his best performance to date.

The Denver offense was efficient and moved the football all afternoon long behind the talent of Nix. On the afternoon Nix finished with 19 completions on 27 attempts, 206 yards, and a pair of passing touchdowns. Nix found the end zone one last time on the ground to punctuate the Denver victory. Nix looked calm and comfortable all game long despite a talented defensive line in his face, and is starting to put all his experience into motion.

Given how this Denver team has shaped up under Sean Payton and his newly found quarterback, this team is looking like a real threat to not only enter as a wild card team but potentially take the division over a Chiefs team that while undefeated, has looked shaky so far this season. The division rival Los Angeles Chargers are next up on the schedule as the Broncos and Nix look to put up a fourth straight win.
