Bo Nix enters his Week 10 bye with 1,730 passing yards through nine games for the 7-2 Broncos, averaging 192 yards per contest on a career-low 6.0 yards per attempt and 60.6% completion rate. The third-year quarterback has thrown 11 touchdowns against four interceptions while operating in Sean Payton’s scheme that favors shorter throws and play-action, contributing to reduced air yards and volume compared with his 222- and 231-yard-per-game averages in 2024 and 2025. Recent improvements include multi-touchdown outings in back-to-back wins over the Chiefs and Panthers, aided by emerging contributions from rookie running back Jonah Coleman and the return of receiver Pat Bryant. Key variables ahead include Jaylen Waddle’s concussion recovery, the Broncos’ favorable upcoming schedule after the bye, Nix’s continued ankle recovery limiting designed runs, and Denver’s tendency to play from ahead behind a top defense, all of which shape expectations for his season-long passing total.
