Bo Nix threw a season-high four touchdown passes and the Denver Broncos rolled past the Atlanta Falcons 38-6 to snap a two-game losing streak. The Falcons lost for the second straight week. Nix became just the second rookie quarterback to throw for 200 or more yards with multiple touchdowns in four consecutive home games.

And they shoved Williams, Simmons and the rest across the goal line to complete the scoring run that gave Denver a tone-setting 14-3 lead. Nix, who was 28 of 33, joined Hall of Famer Peyton Manning as the only rookie QBs in NFL history to throw for 200-plus yards with two or more touchdowns in four consecutive home games. And he joined Dak Prescott as the only rookies to post four games with a 70% or better completion rate with multiple touchdowns and no interceptions.
“I’ve got to find a different way to get him down,” said Simmons, who had five tackles and decided against throwing Williams to his left or right, lest he end up getting twisted and throwing him across the goal line.
