At multiple points during the Denver Broncos' Week 10 matchup vs. the Las Vegas Raiders, quarterback Bo Nix and the offense were booed. The Broncos found a way to win the game 10-7, thanks mostly to the defense playing lights out.
Broncos fans appear especially frustrated with Nix, who has thrown interceptions in three straight weeks. The second-year quarterback hasn’t topped 300 passing yards since Week 4, and he’s only completed 60% of his passes once in Denver’s last four games.
Despite a victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night that improved their record to 8-2, members of the Denver Broncos offense weren't in a celebratory mood after being held to just 10 points.
The Denver Broncos managed to eek out a 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in an ugly Thursday night game in the Mile High City, and while Bo Nix was booed by the home fans for his performance, his wife Izzy certainly was a shining bright — literally.
The Broncos outgained the Raiders 220-188 but managed just one touchdown (a 7-yard strike from quarterback Bo Nix to wide receiver Troy Franklin) and produced 11 penalties, more than they had first downs..
The Denver Broncos beat the Las Vegas Raiders 10-7 despite Bo Nix’s 2 INT performance. Colin Cowherd asks if the QB is holding the Broncos back, and if it's time for the Broncos to draft a new QB.
“I’ve been booed before, and I’ll be booed again,” quarterback Bo Nix told reporters after the 10-7 win. “Not going to be the last time. It’s obviously unfortunate. You don’t want your own fans booing you, but it’s part of it.”
Bo Nix cannot continue to play like this. Not if the Broncos want to win the division. Not if they want to win a playoff game. Thursday night’s retina-burning offensive performance against the Raiders was not all his fault.
Although the Raiders are struggling in Pete Carroll's first year, Las Vegas has held up well against this matchup recently, except for being swept by Denver last season. Since 2020, the Raiders are 8-2 against the Broncos and need a win to turn their season around.
