Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos put their six-game winning streak on the line on Thursday against the Las Vegas Raiders. The 7-2 Broncos are one of the hottest teams in the NFL at the moment, and they are looking to keep it going in a division rivalry showdown against the Raiders.

Nix has been integral to Denver’s success this season. In nine games played heading into Thursday’s contest, the former Oregon Ducks star had already registered 197-of-322 completed passes (61.2%) for 1,976 yards and 17 touchdowns. Nix also has 43 carries for 207 yards and three rushing TDs.

Nix kept his foot on the gas on Thursday night. The 25-year-old led Denver to its first scoring drive in the second quarter after going down in the first, 7-0. At 2nd-and-goal on the Raiders’ seven-yard line, Nix found wide receiver Troy Franklin with a short pass down the middle, resulting in a seven-yard TD pass. The Broncos tied the game at 7-7 after the extra point.

Nix was able to make history with his first score of the evening. The NFL took to social media to announce the former 12th overall pick’s latest career milestone.

As of writing, the Broncos and the Raiders are still tied at 7-7 with five minutes remaining in the third quarter. Nix has already completed 11-of-19 passes for 121 yards, one TD and one interception.
