The Denver Broncos face a crucial game with a chance to secure their first playoff berth since 2015. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix shoulders the responsibility, embracing pressure as an opportunity.
A loss would likely mean Denver's season is over. A win, and the Broncos would guarantee their first playoff berth since 2015. One player is shouldering the lion's share of the pressure it get it done, and he happens to be a rookie. Quarterback Bo Nix isn't looking to shirk from the responsibility; he learned a long time ago that pressure is privilege. 'I think this lifestyle, this situation, there are some quarterbacks who just kind of live with pressure,' Nix said on Wednesday.
'That’s just kind of second nature at this point. I believe pressure is a privilege, and I was taught that a long time ago. There’s no pressure without opportunity. Right now, that means we have a great opportunity to go do something special.” Indeed, it would be very special for Broncos Country to see its team prevail and punctuate a winning season with a 10th win and a playoff berth. It's been eight long years of being on the outside looking in for this long-suffering fanbase. But let not your hearts be troubled, as Broncos head coach Sean Payton has taken confidence in Nix's track record in big games. It was one of the many factors that drew Payton and the Broncos to Nix. “He’s constantly showed up when we needed a big drive or something at the end of the half or a play,' Payton said of Nix on Wednesday. 'If you really track his career, it’s littered with those moments.”Take a second, sign up for our free newsletter, and get breaking Broncos news delivered to your inbox daily!
