"He seems unfazed with the idea that the offense is struggling. That is a great trait to have as a quarterback." @tthas Via @SportsCenter on X

What happened: Denver trailed 10-0 before beating Los Angeles at home Sunday night. Nix guided the offense through a struggling start to finish the comeback.

Why it matters: Winning while the offense sputters keeps Denver ahead of schedule early in 2026. The defensive close gives the Broncos a complementary formula while Nix finds rhythm.

What to watch: Watch whether Denver starts faster next week and whether Nix builds on the late execution.
