"The Broncos have lost back-to-back games on the last play -- to the Indianapolis Colts and the Los Angeles Chargers -- and Nix's play has been scrutinized because of the offense's struggles. He is currently 25th in the league in QBR (41.8), and according to NextGen his tight-window completion percentage is 16th (37.5%), tied with recently benched Giants quarterback Russell Wilson."
"Nix narrowly missed multiple potential big plays in the loss to the Chargers on Sunday, all on overthrows, including one to a wide-open Courtland Sutton in the fourth quarter that would have likely sealed a win. The Broncos also had seven possessions in which they totaled 9 or fewer yards and four possessions in which they had 1 or fewer yards."
""He's going to hit plenty of those. ... [And] there's times I'm sure when we sit and watch the tape [there are things to repair]," Payton said. "But one of the things that's a gift are his off-schedule throws, but you just want to be careful of how much you tell him. When you settle into certain plays, there's a rhythm to the mechanics. ... But overall I think [the ball] is coming out well.""
Bo Nix's mechanics were defended and he was encouraged to keep firing with a promise that big plays will come. The offense has not found its identity, and that lack of identity has affected Nix's play. Denver lost consecutive games on the final play to Indianapolis and Los Angeles. Nix ranks 25th in QBR (41.8) and his tight-window completion percentage is 37.5%, tied for 16th. Multiple potential big plays were missed on overthrows, including a wide-open Courtland Sutton in the fourth quarter. The offense produced several very short possessions, limiting scoring opportunities.
