Denver Broncos Quarterback Bo Nix looked extremely tenuous Thursday when he was named the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Month for October.
Only two players in franchise history have ever taken home the award: legendary running backs Mike Anderson in 2000 and Clinton Portis in 2002.

Nix, the reigning No. 12 overall pick, has been masterful over the past four weeks, totaling 1,019 yards from scrimmage, nine total touchdowns and one interception — good for a 102.7 rating — while leading Denver to a 3-1 score led.
In Sunday’s 28-14 win over Carolina, Nix became the first Broncos QB to post three passing TDs, one rushing score and no INTs in one game.
“It’s more satisfying to win,” he said after the match. “So whatever that means for a quarterback. I would go out there and throw for zero yards, give it up every time, win the game and I’ll be the happiest guy in the locker room. That’s not being complacent. That means this is a tough competition. It’s not always easy to go out there and throw a lot of yards. It’s also not easy to go there and run a lot of meters. You just have to find a way to get yards. In our case today we were ultimately successful, we were able to get points early and hold on to them at the end. We’re going to have to continue to find ways to do that, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes.”
