Bo Nix doesn’t mince words, calls himself out just seconds after thrilling comeback win vs Eagles

The second-year signal caller opened up about yet another close game in the fourth quarter, and what it meant for the team in the long term.

“It was great. It’s about time we got a fourth quarter, close one," Nix said. "Felt like KC last year, felt like we’ve been there before, and went down and got points in the four-minute drill, and our defense held them at the end. It was good, felt like we’ve been in that position a lot, and today went our way”

When asked if he was surprised by Franklin's success on the two-point conversion, Nix had nothing but praise for his former Oregon teammate in Franklin.

“Wasn’t surprised, next thing I knew he was giving me the hash, giving me the call," Nix said. "Knew we had one play to get the job done, and Troy ran a great route. We’ve been practicing that for a couple of weeks, and he got in the end zone. Just trust in his players, and we got the job done.”

Not everything was going according to plan for Denver in the early stages of the contest. In fact, Nix and the offense couldn't muster anything, leading to six straight punts and not a lot of scoring for Denver.

“I wasn’t happy about how the first part was going," Nix said. "Six straight punts is not what anybody wants. We handled it how we handled it, went out and won the game."

Despite the issues and the areas needing to be cleaned up , the team got a statement win in Week 5 against a very good Eagles team. With eyes set on their upcoming London matchup against the New York Jets, Nix had one final note about the victory, and it's something Broncos Country can all get behind.

“It’s awesome, it’s a great win. Proves we can go on the road and beat these tough teams, we can be a tough team to play," Nix said. "It’s good for our confidence, it’s good going into this trip. A lot of teams struggle before they go to London, but we focused on this trip, we focused on this game, we went out and got it done. It was a good win for us.”
