Can the Broncos Defy the Odds and Topple the Patriots in the AFC Championship Without Bo Nix?
First, the Broncos’ success this season has come less from Nix’s offense and more from a defense that ranks second in the league in success rate allowed at 36.9%.
During the regular season, the Broncos ranked third in scoring defense with 18.3 points allowed per game. They were also 10-0 when surrendering 22 points or fewer.

Even on offense, the Broncos aren’t built squarely on Nix’s shoulders.
While Nix led the NFL with 612 pass attempts, only 37.4% of the passing game came on pure drop-back concepts, which typically require the quarterback to read the entire defense and deliver throws downfield.
