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.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — After months of offseason speculation and countless mock drafts, the Broncos have made a major addition at the game's most important position.

Denver selected Oregon quarterback Bo Nix with the 12th-overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.

The 2023 Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year and a Heisman Trophy finalist, Nix led Oregon to a 12-2 record in his final season as he completed 77.4 percent of his passes and threw for 4,508 yards, 45 touchdowns and three interceptions. He also recorded six rushing touchdowns.

Nix spent the first three seasons of his collegiate career with the Auburn Tigers before transferring to Oregon ahead of the 2022 season. In two seasons with the Ducks, he posted a better than nine-to-one total touchdown-to-interception ratio as he accounted 94 total touchdowns in 17 games.

Bo Nix, Oregon (6-2, 214 pounds)

Grade: A

Nix came into the combine confident that he had an arm accurate enough to make most of the throws, plus athleticism. But the question was whether he could keep his footwork sound when dropping back in the pocket and just how big an arm he had on out routes. Nix solidified his status as a first-half first-rounder by adding more oomph to his well-rounded game.

Oregon quarterback Bo Nix is “Bo-dacious.” That’s how fans view the Heisman hopeful and undercover sneakerhead who prefers his shoe game to be just like those billboards: all white, crisp, and clean.

Nix is in his second season with the Oregon Ducks after transferring from Auburn, where he was the 2019 SEC Freshman of the Year. Under his leadership, the Ducks are now a Pac-12 team rising to the top of the college football polls. On Saturday, they look to continue their fantastic start and dominance against Colorado, the most hyped team in college football right now.

Nix has also been cooking up things off the field. He’s been in the lab with 7-Eleven and The Shoe Surgeon, creating custom cleats that will be auctioned off to fans. All proceeds will benefit Children’s Miracle Network member hospital PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center in Eugene, Oregon.

“When this opportunity was presented, my eyes lit up,” Nix told For The Win. “I was very excited and thrilled to use something as simple as a pair of cleats for something so special.”

Ahead of No. 10 Oregon’s Week 4 matchup against No. 19 Colorado (3:30 p.m. ET on ABC), For The Win spoke with Nix about the Cleat Crew program, what has Oregon playing at such a high level and why he wants Matthew McConaughey to play him in a movie.

Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix has been named the Pac-12 offensive player of the week for week 2, the conference announced on Monday.

Nix completed 32 of his 44 passes for 359 yards and two touchdowns against the Red Raiders. He also didn't turn the ball over and pitched in 46 rushing yards on 9 carries, averaging 5.1 yards per carry.

The Oregon quarterback's legs were a big difference maker on Saturday, as he extended plays and moved the chains for the Ducks in big situations.

EUGENE, Ore. — Clear across the country, Bo Nix is on Park Avenue, arms aloft and spreading the word.

The word, specifically, is BODACIOUS. The ‘B’ and the ‘O’ are stacked and set off in green. Each is the size of a nation-state. The rest of the phrase runs from hand to outstretched hand above the torso of Oregon’s quarterback, his back turned so the world can see the name on the jersey. It gives the impression that the fifth-year senior holds everything together, which has its own metaphorical applications. But it also tells a story even bigger than a Heisman Trophy campaign billboard on display almost 3,000 miles from campus.

In a small conference room with glass walls, the actual Bo Nix appraises this outsize version of himself with deference. Didn’t even know it was real the first time he saw it, he says. It’s not like he’s the first Oregon quarterback to get a billboard in Manhattan, he says. Could’ve picked any of his teammates instead and they’d deserve it. An honor, naturally. “It’s just kind of shocking – like, wow, you’re in a position that that’s even possible,” Nix says. “I honestly never imagined myself being up on a billboard.”

And yet here he is, eye-level with possibility at last.

For the first three years of his collegiate career, Nix was a massive what-could-be, the striving five-star son of a former Auburn quarterback jousting with legacy and expectation. That knotty backstory unraveled with a transfer to Oregon and a 2022 season featuring 4,000-plus total yards, 40-plus touchdowns and a near 72 percent pass completion rate that led all power-conference quarterbacks. Turns out everything Nix went through was fed into a next-gen processor chip somewhere under his spiky blond coif, and out came arcade numbers. Finally. An unclouded mind guides the operation in Eugene. And the Ducks, ranked 15th in both the Associated Press and coaches preseason polls, follow the leader.
