Falcons head coach gave two-word description of Bo Nix’s performance

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris gave a two-word description of Bo Nix’s performance in Week 11

The Atlanta Falcons lost by 36 points to the Denver Broncos in Week 11 and the game was every bit as bad as it sounds. Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix played the best game of his NFL career and the Falcons had no answer on Sunday.

Nix completed 28 of 33 pass attempts for 307 yards and four touchdowns. On the other hand, Atlanta managed just two field goals through four quarters of football. Kirk Cousins struggled, the running game was non-existent and the defense was nowhere to be seen.

Head coach Raheem Morris was not happy with any phase of the team in Week 11 but will look to get things figured out during the bye week. Morris also took the time to credit Nix’s dominant performance, saying the rookie played “flawless football” against Atlanta, per team reporter Terrin Waack.

The Falcons even put rookie Michael Penix Jr. in the game during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s blowout in Denver. Penix completed two of four pass attempts for 24 passing yards. For the season, the No. 8 overall pick has completed three out of five attempts for 38 passing yards and zero touchdowns or interceptions.

Cousins did not have a great day, passing for 173 yards and one interception during Sunday’s loss. This marked the second consecutive game that the veteran quarterback has been held without a touchdown pass.

After 11 games in Atlanta, Cousins has passed for 2,807 yards, 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Nix has thrown for 2,275 yards, 14 touchdowns and six interceptions for the Broncos this season.

The Falcons have the week off but will return in Week 13 to take on the Los Angeles Chargers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

5 takeaways from Broncos’ 38-6 win over Falcons on Sunday

The Denver Broncos took care of business against the Atlanta Falcons with a 38-6 win on Sunday. Here are the key takeaways from the win.

The Denver Broncos (6-5) took care of business against the Atlanta Falcons (6-5) on Sunday afternoon with a convincing 38-6 victory at home. Here are five quick takeaways from the win.

1. Alex Forsyth bounced back: After not holding up in protection on the team’s crucial blocked field goal last week, Broncos lineman Alex Forsyth was moved from the “tight end” position to the “wing” spot for Denver’s kicks against the Falcons. The switch — and Forsyth’s resilience — paid off as kicker Wil Lutz went 6-of-6 on his kicks against Atlanta.

2. Perhaps Audric Estime isn’t the new RB1: After the rookie dominated the backfield touches last week, we assumed Audric Estime might be the Broncos’ new starting running back going forward. Instead, Javonte Williams was back to leading the team in carries (nine) and rushing yards (59) on Sunday. Jaleel McLaughlin (4/19) and Estime (6/16) mixed in. Denver’s staff seems poised to take a “hot hand” approach for the RB rotation.

3. Bo Nix has arrived: What a performance! Nix went 28-of-33 passing (84.8%) despite multiple drops from his receivers. Nix also posted career highs in passing yards (307) and passing touchdowns (four) before being replaced by Jarrett Stidham in the fourth quarter when the game was decided. Nix has shown incredible improvement from earlier this season and the Broncos appear to have found their new franchise quarterback.

4. Sean Payton swept NFC South: Following the 38-6 win over the Falcons, Denver is now 4-0 against coach Sean Payton’s old division. Earlier this year, the Broncos beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (26-7), New Orleans Saints (33-10) and Carolina Panthers (28-14).

5. Broncos hit the over: Eleven games into the 2024 season, Denver has hit the over on their over/under line of 5.5 wins established by oddsmakers before the season. The Broncos now have six victories under their belt with six games remaining this fall. Up next is a home game against the Las Vegas Raiders (2-8) in Week 12.

Twitter reacts to Broncos’ very orange uniform combination

The Denver Broncos wore orange jerseys and orange pants for the first time this season against the Atlanta Falcons. Do you like the look?

The Denver Broncos unveiled a new uniform look on Sunday — orange jerseys and orange pants with a blue helmet and blue socks.

The Broncos’ new uniform set includes a primary orange jersey and a white road jersey, plus an alternate navy jersey and a throwback orange jersey. When the team wears the primary orange or white jersey, they can wear one of three pants colors: white, orange or blue.

For the first time this season, Denver broke out orange pants to go with orange jerseys against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11. Here’s a sampling of how fans and pundits reacted to the new look on Twitter/X.

The team’s jersey color has already been announced for every game in 2024, but the players pick the pants and sock colors each week.

The Broncos’ most popular uniform is their throwback look. Denver will break out the throwbacks one more time this season when the Broncos host the Kansas City Chiefs in their season finale in Week 18.

The Denver Broncos have announced their list of seven inactive players for Sunday’s showdown with the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season.

The Broncos’ inactive players today are quarterback Zach Wilson*, safety Brandon Jones (abdomen), cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine, offensive tackle Frank Crum, offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton, tight end Greg Dulcich and defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike.

With the exception of Wilson, these inactive players are members of the 53-man roster who are not eligible to play against the Falcons. They will be reactivated on Monday.
