Bo Nix did it again.
In the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Denver Broncos‘ rookie quarterback looked like he was about to be sacked by Bud Dupree, who had beaten left tackle Garett Bolles to reach Nix.
Nix then ducked and escaped Dupree’s grasp, regained his footing and looked downfield for open receivers. With everyone covered, Nix decided to run and he picked up 21 yards on the ground before safely stepping out of bounds.
It was another Harry Houdini play from Nix, who finished the game as Denver’s leading rusher with 61 yards on the ground.
This is ridiculous by Bo Nix to turn a sure sack into a 21-yard gain

If that play looks familiar, it’s because Nix had a very similar escaped sack against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3 that the quarterback turned into a 22-yard gain. That play went viral:

Nix helped the Broncos battle back against the Chargers on Sunday, but their fourth-quarter efforts weren’t enough to overcome a 23-point deficit. Following a 23-16 loss, Nix and Denver will now turn attention toward a Thursday Night Football showdown with the New Orleans Saints in Week 7.
