Broncos Outline Fixes for Bo Nix After Turnover-Filled Opener

Coaches emphasize cleaner play-calls, improved footwork, tighter timing before the trip to Indianapolis.

Overview

  • Bo Nix logged 176 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions and a lost fumble in Denver’s 20-12 Week 1 win over the Titans, with the fumble marked as his first since 2021 by Stats Perform.
  • Head coach Sean Payton said he must be better with his play-calling after a pass-heavy plan that produced 40 attempts and just seven first‑half rushing carries, though the ground game later sealed it with a 50‑yard run by rookie RJ Harvey.
  • Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi pointed to footwork and timing—especially on movement throws—as the primary mechanical issues behind Nix’s inconsistent passes.
  • Nix accepted responsibility and said he may be less aggressive going forward, framing future throws as more calculated attempts to protect the ball.
  • Denver visits the Colts on Sunday after Indianapolis forced three takeaways against Miami, setting up an early test of the Broncos’ offensive adjustments.
