Overview
- FS1’s Colin Cowherd suggested Sean Payton could draft another quarterback in 2026 to replace Bo Nix, a prediction noted by outlets given Cowherd’s rapport with Payton.
- Payton on Nov. 10 said Nix’s "internal clock" needs calibration and praised quarterbacks coach Davis Webb, with no benching or staff changes announced.
- Denver is 8-2 with seven straight wins and leads the AFC West, powered by a defense ranked near the top by EPA while the offense sits mid-pack.
- Nix’s recent dip includes 323 passing yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions over two games with multiple sub-60% completion outings, drawing boos from home fans.
- Despite scrutiny, Nix has 18 touchdown passes, a league-leading four game-winning drives, and one of the NFL’s lowest sack totals as Denver prepares for Week 11 vs. the Chiefs.
