What happened: The Denver Broncos hold no internal doubts about quarterback Bo Nix's competitiveness, drive, or ability to get the offense rolling again, per Tom Pelissero. Even as the unit works through persistent slow starts, Denver just won a game in which Nix completed 17 of 27 passes for 107 yards and the offense managed two first downs across its final 10 drives.

Why it matters: Denver sits at 4-2 in the 2026 regular season despite producing 168 total yards in its latest victory. Team leadership is leaning on Nix's proven winning record over the past two seasons rather than panicking over the recent passing stagnation.

By the numbers: The Broncos are 18-3 across Nix's last 21 starts and stand at 4-2 in 2026. In his most recent start, Nix went 17-for-27 for 107 yards while the offense generated two first downs on its last 10 possessions.

What to watch: Nix and the Broncos offense turn their focus to Week 7 as they look to rebound from a 168-yard outing.
