Bo Nix Reflects on Turnovers and Vows Improvement After Broncos' Season Opener Victory

Despite a win, Broncos' QB Bo Nix acknowledges his three-turnover game and commits to smarter play in the NFL 2025 season.

In a challenging start to the 2025 NFL season, Denver Broncos' quarterback Bo Nix experienced a rollercoaster game that ended in a 20-12 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Despite the win, Nix's performance was marred by two interceptions and a lost fumble, marking the second three-turnover game of his 18-game career.

Key Moments and Nix's Reflections

Nix completed 25 of 40 passes for 176 yards and a touchdown to wide receiver Courtland Sutton. However, his turnovers could have been costly. His first interception by Titans safety Xavier Woods and a subsequent fumble gave Tennessee advantageous field positions. Despite these setbacks, the Broncos' defense held strong, limiting the Titans to two field goals off Nix's mistakes.

Nix openly discussed his need for improvement: "I've got to be smarter. I have to take care of the football, especially with our defense. Can't put them in bad spots." He acknowledged the lessons from his aggressive plays and emphasized the importance of limiting turnovers.

Coach Sean Payton's Support

Broncos coach Sean Payton defended Nix's overall performance, highlighting his resilience and critical plays in the second half. Payton remarked, "He hung in there, he battled, he made some critical plays for us in the second half. It was a gutsy performance."

Looking Ahead

Nix is aware of the adjustments needed to counter defensive strategies aimed at limiting his preferred throws. With the support of his teammates and coaching staff, Nix is focused on refining his gameplay to contribute more effectively to the Broncos' success this season.

Despite the rocky start, Nix's commitment to improvement and the team's strong defensive support signal a promising path forward for the Broncos in the 2025 NFL season.
