""We are just working really well off each other," Nix said. "[Payton] trusts me, and I can tell by the way he is calling it. My job is to turn around and protect him and keep his call safe. We talk about playcalling intent a lot as a quarterback room. Take the intent, and what does he want on this play? At the end of the day, you have to protect it.""
"After the Denver Broncos essentially ground their molars together for a little more than three hours on Nov. 6 to get a 10-7 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, coach Sean Payton declared the team's offensive plan that night as "awful.""
Sean Payton labeled the Broncos' Nov. 6 offensive plan 'awful,' but subsequent adjustments and added reps have unlocked more production from quarterback Bo Nix. Nix threw for 302 yards on 23-of-34 passing with four touchdowns to four different receivers in the 34-26 win over Green Bay. Over the past four games, Nix has ranked among the NFL's most efficient and productive starters, posting a 69.5% completion rate. Payton's trust in Nix and clearer playcalling intent have improved quarterback-room communication and execution, helping Denver reach a 12-2 record and extend an 11-game winning streak.
