ENGLEWOOD, Colo. \u2014 Bo Nix has reached another impressive milestone in his rookie campaign.<\/p>\n
The quarterback has won the NFL’s Rookie of the Week award for his performance in Denver’s 29-19 victory over the Raiders, becoming the first Bronco to ever win the award in three consecutive weeks.<\/p>\n
Nix previously won the award following standout performances in Week 10 vs. the Chiefs and Week 11 vs. the Falcons.<\/p>\n
Nix earned the honor after a strong outing on the road in Week 12, as he completed 25-of-42 passes for 273 yards, two touchdowns and a 94.6 passer rating in the victory. Denver trailed Las Vegas at halftime, and Nix led the Broncos to a pair of second-half touchdown drives to help secure the team’s first season sweep of the Raiders since 2014. The rookie quarterback also did not throw an interception, and his 8-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio leads all NFL quarterbacks since Week 10.<\/p>\n
With the Week 12 honor, Nix became the first Broncos quarterback to win the award three times, surpassing two-time winner Tim Tebow. His three honors this season are the second-most all-time by a Broncos rookie, trailing only former running back Knowshon Moreno, who won the weekly award four times in 2009.<\/p>\n
Nix was one of the six finalists for the Week 12 award. He won a fan vote over Washington’s Jayden Daniels, Chicago’s Caleb Williams, Tampa Bay’s Bucky Irving, Miami’s Chop Robinson and Tennessee’s Jarvis Brownlee Jr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ENGLEWOOD, Colo. \u2014 Bo Nix has reached another impressive milestone in his rookie campaign.
