Avoiding the sophomore slump: Three things to watch for Bo Nix as he enters Year 2 in Denver
"ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos' 2024 season ended with a thud thanks to a 31-7 playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round in January. But Broncos quarterback Bo Nix wasn't ready to head into the offseason. Nix looked at the calendar, dug into the pain and made a decision, one he plans to repeat the rest of his NFL career."
""I decided that it was too early for a season to end," Nix said. "So, I trained, I worked, like we were still playing, right up until the Super Bowl ... Hopefully we have a lot of years when I'm training and practicing and playing up until the Super Bowl because we're going. "I want to know what it feels like the play all the way until the end ... and I'll do it every year so I'm ready when we do go.""
The Denver Broncos finished 2024 with a 31-7 wild-card loss to the Buffalo Bills, but quarterback Bo Nix continued training through the offseason instead of stepping away. Nix pledged to train and practice year-round, aiming to be ready to play through the Super Bowl and repeating that regimen each year to prepare for deep postseason runs. After a rookie season with 3,775 passing yards and 29 touchdowns, Nix faces the important second-year development phase. Coach Sean Payton downplays the clichéd sophomore slump, while coaches and evaluators point to three major factors that will shape Nix's Year 2.
