Bo Nix’s Comebacks Define Broncos Season

A shift of play-calling to Davis Webb with a renewed run-game emphasis seeks to fix Denver’s slow starts.

Overview

  • Since his 2024 NFL debut, Bo Nix has led the league in fourth-quarter comebacks and compiled double-digit final-quarter rallies that have repeatedly rescued the Broncos.
  • Denver has been outscored 40-10 in first halves this season, forcing the team to rely on late-game rallies rather than consistent, four-quarter offense.
  • After Sunday’s 16-0 halftime deficit the Broncos rallied for a 30-26 win over the Rams, a comeback that underlines Nix’s clutch reputation and Denver’s late-game resilience.
  • Coach Sean Payton has handed play-calling to offensive coordinator Davis Webb and the staff says a stronger running game is key after injuries to J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman hampered early offense.
  • The Broncos travel to San Francisco in Week 4 where the 49ers’ stingy early defense will test whether Denver can translate fourth-quarter strength into faster starts and steadier full-game performance.
