Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Marvin Mims in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. Here’s video of the play, courtesy of the team’s official Twitter/X page:

Despite being the sixth quarterback selected in the 2024 NFL draft, Bo Nix has rocketed up the rookie quarterback rankings recently with the Denver Broncos. After erratic play to start his career, Nix has started to look like a far more competent and comfortable quarterback.
