The 'Most TD in first two NFL seasons' quiz

Despite an objectively successful season that ended in the AFC Championship Game, vibes for Denver Broncos fans have to be a little off. 

Shortly after their dramatic overtime win over Buffalo in the Divisional Round, fans got the news quarterback Bo Nix was done for the postseason with an ankle fracture. Jarrett Stidham started against New England and Denver fell 10-7 in the snow. With attention turning to next season, head coach Sean Payton and Nix have had conflicting comments on the injury.

After Payton told the media that the ankle injury was a matter of “when,” rather than “if,” due to a condition Nix has, the QB who won his first postseason game this season refuted those comments. 

“Nothing was predisposed, nothing that was there,” he told the media when asked. 

“Might have been some confusion there.”

Either way, Nix said his doctor told him to expect a 4-to-6 week recovery from his ankle surgery, and should be good to go for the 2026 campaign. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. In his first two seasons, Nix has racked up 7,706 yards and 54 touchdowns – the third-most of any QB in that span. With that being said, how many of the quarterbacks with at least 40 touchdown passes in their first two seasons can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
