Bo Nix, one of Denver's most trumpeted rookie QBs since the Elway days, has written the first chapter of what he hopes is a similar book, right down to losing his first playoff game by the same score ( 31-7 to Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills ).

Well, the simple answer is we didn’t win a Super Bowl,” Nix said of his rookie year. “So there’s a lot to learn from, a lot to grow from.”

There is a reason why no rookie quarterback in NFL history has ever started a Super Bowl. In fact, only five rookie quarterbacks have ever started a conference championship game and their combined record is 0-5.

The Broncos square off against the Bills in the first round of the playoffs and rookie QB Bo Nix will face former Denver great Von Miller.

The Denver Broncos are back in the playoffs. For the first time since winning Super Bowl 50, the Broncos (10-7) will be in the postseason after punching their playoff ticket thanks to a 38-0 thumping of the Chiefs,

Broncos QB Bo Nix delivered more than a 38-0 beatdown of the Chiefs Sunday. The rookie ended a long playoff drought.

Nix hung tough, though, and the Broncos emerged victorious in Vegas and the next week in a barn-burning affair vs. the Cleveland Browns in Denver. Then that blessed Week 14 bye came and he was able to rest the injury away.

Tops on any list from the 2024 season has been the emergence of rookie quarterback Bo Nix.

The Denver Broncos stepped into the playoff threshold for the first time since 2016 and were quickly pushed out the door by the Buffalo Bills in a 31-7 beating. The Broncos boasted the third-youngest team in the NFL with a rookie quarterback and limited offensive weapons, but through great coaching, they still made the postseason.
