Overview

• Denver is 1-2 after consecutive last‑second losses, with Bo Nix going 14-of-25 for 153 yards and one touchdown without a turnover against the Chargers.
• Sean Payton downplayed the deep-ball misses, saying, “Driving in today, that would be like 50th on my to‑do list,” per the Associated Press.
• The Broncos committed 10 penalties for 90 yards, converted 2 of 13 third downs, and had six three‑and‑outs in Week 3, undermining otherwise strong stretches.
• Analytics from PFF place Nix near the bottom of qualified quarterbacks this season, while film review by Tim Jenkins describes a streaky, turnover‑free Week 3 performance.
• Teammates J.K. Dobbins and Courtland Sutton publicly backed Nix, as Denver turns toward a Monday night home game against the Bengals.
