In a season of firsts, Bo Nix did something no other quarterback in Denver Broncos history had accomplished prior.

On Thursday, Nix was named the NFL's Rookie of the Week for the third consecutive occasion — a franchise record. Only former running back Knowshon Moreno won the award more times (4) in his inaugural NFL campaign.

Overcoming a slow start, Nix completed 25-of-42 passes for 273 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions in a 29-19 victory against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. He set the club's single-season rookie record for most passing TDs (15) and became the first Broncos rookie QB to eclipse 2,500 passing yards.

"It's huge," Nix said of sweeping the Raiders. "It's what your goal is going into the season. They're a good football team. We played 'em two tough games. We got two good wins out of it. I know after last year, it was the opposite. It was a good win for us. Happy for the guys."

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — October was Bo time.

Rookie quarterback Bo Nix has been named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for October, the NFL announced Thursday.

Nix is just the third Bronco in franchise history to win Offensive Rookie of the Month honors, and he is the first to earn the nod in more than 20 years.

Nix joins running backs Mike Anderson (September & December 2000) and Clinton Portis (October 2002) as the only Broncos to earn the league-wide honors.

The 12th-overall pick earned the honor over the span of four games, as he threw for 870 yards, seven touchdowns, one interception and a 102.7 quarterback rating while completing 66.7 percent of his passes.

Nix also rushed the ball 29 times for 149 yards (averaging 5.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns. The Oregon product turned the ball over just once in October as he led Denver to a 3-1 record.

During the month of October, Nix led all rookie quarterbacks in passing touchdowns (7), passing touchdown-to-interception ratio (7-to-1), passing yards (870) and rushing touchdowns (2). He is also tied for the rookie quarterback lead in wins.

Nix reached several statistical milestones during the month, including setting the franchise's single-season win mark for rookie quarterbacks.

The rookie's most productive game of the stretch came in his final start, as Nix set career highs in completions (28), completion percentage (75.7), passing yards (284), passing touchdowns (3), total touchdowns (4) and passer rating (124.2) vs. the Panthers.

Against Carolina, Nix also became the first quarterback in Denver history to throw for three touchdowns and rush for a score without throwing an interception.

Nix is the first Bronco to earn rookie of the month honors since Bradley Chubb in 2018.
