His numbers are down from 2025 in completion percentage (64.3 to 59.9), yards per attempt (6.4 to 5.8) and passer rating (87.8 to 80.8). The Broncos rank 30th in total offense after being 10th last season.<\/p>\n<p>Nix, though, doesn\u2019t see it that way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlaying good and playing bad, it\u2019s a narrative, and I think it\u2019s honestly kind of something we make up,\u201d Nix said after Tuesday\u2019s practice, via Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette. \u201cI don\u2019t think necessarily I\u2019m playing any different than what I\u2019m normally playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nix was only 16-of-27 for 123 yards with a touchdown in Sunday\u2019s 23-17 win over the Chargers. He had only one completion longer than 16 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Nix, though, looks at the positive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re sitting here at 3-2 and having a good start to our season,\u201d Nix said. \u201cThere\u2019s things we want to clean up. There\u2019s things we want to fix. We\u2019re leaving some things out there on the field but we\u2019re finding ways to win like we did last year [during a 14-3 season]. I feel strongly that we\u2019re going to continue to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bo Nix dismisses the numbers.
