"They struggled offensively again. A lot of it to me falls to Bo Nix, just in terms of patience in the pocket." @kurt13 Via @ESPNNFL on X

What happened: Kurt Warner said Denver's repeat scoring issues trace to Bo Nix rushing his pocket process. The comments came during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show.

Why it matters: Bo Nix entered 2026 after a 3,931-yard second season, raising the bar for Denver's offense. Continued stumbles tighten the margin in the AFC regular-season race and increase pressure on Denver's play-calling.

By the numbers: Nix completed 388 of 612 passes for 3,931 yards with 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions across 17 games in 2025. Denver drafted him 12th overall in 2024 out of Oregon.

What to watch: Denver's coming games will show whether Nix settles his pocket timing and steadies output.
