Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has been nominated for the NFL’s Rookie of the Week award following a 28-14 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Nix had his best professional game to date, completing 28-of-37 passes (75.7%) for 284 yards, no turnovers, a 124.2 passer rating, and accounted for all four Broncos touchdowns (three passing, one rushing).
