We're leaving for the lower 48 tonight. Would appreciate your prayers and well wishes as we ride down the Alcan 🐎

Russell Wilson is done as a starting QB. It wasn't that long ago Broncos Country wanted Sean Payton's head for benching him.

The Broncos will have Jaxson Dart in his fourth NFL start. Denver has generated pressure on more than 40% of their snaps every game this season.

Um, it's only three games, but YIKES! Bo Nix is the worst QB in the league on intermediate throws according to SISdatahub.com

Exhibit A for how opponents matter this year: Everyone looks good against the Cowboys.

Broncos look much better by DVOA than I expected, which is a reason for hope.

Pre-MNF Tankathon's rankings - Denver dropped from 20 to 9 with that lost. www.tankathon.com/nfl

Broncos Country still has a rooting interest in the game tonight 👀 The Baltimore Ravens look like world beaters, can Jared Goff and the Lions drop them to Denver's 1-2 record? 🐦‍⬛🦁🐎 Link 👇 joerowles.substack.com/p/broncos-bi...

The Colts go undefeated in 12 of this week's 25,000 simulations. Raiders making the playoffs isn't that crazy. It's currently at 21.6%.

On a positive note, Bo Nix is doing better on passing downs than Russell Wilson 🙂

Not great!

Nik Bonitto is monstrous and continues to lead the NFL with 21 pressures through three games after the Chargers game Week 1: 9 Week 2: 6 Week 3: 6 His 31.3% pressure rate is also best among players with 10-plus pressures. Second is 25%.

Bo Nix is the worst ranked qualifying QB this season in QB rating under pressure, per Next Gen Stats. 8/20 for 54 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT when pressured.

Bo Nix ranks through 3 games amongst NFL QBs, per Next Gen Stats: --26/31 in YPA (5.6) --19/31 in CMP% (64.2) --18/31 in EPA (-4.5) --22/31 in QB rating (83.4)

Three weeks in (minus MNF), Bo Nix ranks as the 18th best QB on an EPA/play basis. Daniel Jones is 5th Justin Herbert is 6th Cam Ward is 28th

ESPN gave Bo Nix a 38.5 QBR for his effort against the Chargers. For the season, Nix has a 41.6 QBR and ranks as the 25th best QB in the NFL by the statistic.

The Broncos had nine first downs and allowed 29 to the Chargers. That is the franchise's worst first-down discrepancy in over 59 years, since a Sept. 3, 1966 game in which the Broncos got ZERO first downs & the Houston Oilers had 28. (Denver lost, 45-7, scoring on a KO return.)

I really do love the Broncos rallying around Bo Nix, especially when guys like Dobbins watched the Marvin Mims miss with the best view in the house. Speaks the culture Sean Payton has built.

The Broncos pressured Justin Herbert on 54.7% of his dropbacks by Next Gen Stats, the highest pressure rate he’s faced in any game of his career. He completed 10/23 of those passes for 143 yards and a touchdown. He threw his first pick of the year and took 5 sacks. Somehow Denver lost the game.

Broncos remaining schedule: Vs. Cincinnati Bengals @ Philadelphia Eagles @ New York Jets Vs. New York Giants Vs. Dallas Cowboys @ Houston Texans Vs. Las Vegas Raiders Vs. Kansas City Chiefs @ Washington Commanders @ Las Vegas Raiders Vs. Green Bay Packers Vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Close w/ KC & LA

(hope you had that Bo Nix over rushing total today that was a lock)

Been avoiding tweeting about Bo Nix but just remembered I can BlueSkeet about him and not be attacked. He’s looking very shaky again! Dunno if this goes away like last September did but he’s just not accurate.

Ryan Greene from DNVR splicing together the game defining plays. Broncos connect on any of them, they're in first in the AFC West right now.

I wrote for @milehighreport.bsky.social during the Drew Lock error. I know some of y'all won't be able to see the QB culpability. I'm a Broncos fan first, Bo Nix came up short today. Hope he improves. Denver needs him for a Dark Horse Super Bowl run 🫡 joerowles.substack.com/p/the-dark-h...

The good news is Bo Nix will surely outplay Jake Browning, right? Right?

Broncos came into the Chargers game with a 51.3% chance at the playoffs. At 1-2 with a tough AFC to run through, next week is a must win against the Bengals.

Broncos drop to 1-2 and way back from the Chargers in the AFC West race. Nik Bonitto and Jonah Ellis really impressed me. Look forward to watching the defense again.

Bo Nix tied it up against the Bengals last year before he went silent in overtime. The blocked kick against the Chiefs also comes to mind... But he very much needs to prove he can win in must pass situations. Hasn't done it with anything resembling consistency yet

Justin Herbert showing Broncos Country what a "QB you win because of" does in clutch moments.

If the Broncos lose this one there's certainly a couple of big "what if" moments from the offense to wonder about.

Broncos come out in 11 P 2x2 and Bo Nix overthrows an open Courtland Sutton. Crushing miss

ridiculous play by Justin Herbert

This 3rd and 10 is a moment for Bo Nix to show he can carry an offense

Justin Herbert dropped his arm slot to fit that around Nik Bonitto. Just an unreal play and throw. So damn fire. So clutch

That's why you can't give a QB like Justin Herbert multiple chances. Chargers tie the game after a ridiculous throw. Big time QBs make a big time difference

Broncos just getting hosed by the zebras

Bo Nix with the clutch scramble

Broncos defense generated pressure on 40+% of their snaps in weeks 1&2. 6 sacks in week 1 1 in week 2 They probably passed 50%+ pressure today and have 5 sacks so far. Dominant performance against the Chargers

Broncos sack party 🎉🥳🥳🎉

Really encouraging to see Bi Nix set his feet with pressure bearing down and deliver a strike. That 4th down throw is money

Bo Nix delivers a short pass on 3rd and long. Mims can't bring it in. Lutz good and Broncos up 7 again

Sean Payton

Broncos end Q3 facing third and long up 4. Bo Nix will have an opportunity to own the moment.

What's really impressed me is how often the Broncos are reaching Justin Herbert in waves. Multiple wins on a routine basis along the front. It's beautiful

Nik Bonitto schools Joe Alt for a timely sack. 2 on the day so far

Bo Nix dumps it down to the crosser on 3rd and 11. Broncos gain 2. 3 and out

The Broncos secondary was really impressive in the red zone. Airtight coverage that culminated in Surtain denying Herbert the 3rd down TD. Broncos up by 4

Alex Singleton stonewalls Johnston but it's a Bolts first and goal.

I tried to tell you Jonah Ellis was legit. Broncos got a steal
