The 'Most TD passes in first two seasons' quiz

Before taking the field for the Broncos preseason game against the Green Bay Packers, the last time Denver fans saw quarterback Bo Nix on the field was in their overtime win over Buffalo to reach the AFC Championship. 

What was revealed after that win was an ankle fracture for Nix, ending his season and the Broncos chances at lifting the Lombardi Trophy. 

In his return on Aug. 21, Nix looked like he should be able to pick up right where he left off last year. The 26-year-old completed 6-of-9 passes for 76 yards, including a 21-yard dime to running back RJ Harvey for a touchdown. After leading the Broncos to a 14-win season on the back of a strong defense as well, Nix and Co. should have Denver fans very excited for the 2026 campaign if they stay healthy. 

But if they weren’t already, comments from some of Nix’s teammates should get them there. 

“He’s playing out of his mind,” said linebacker Alex Singleton. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Nix’s 54 touchdown passes are third-most in NFL history for a quarterback in his first two professional seasons. With that being said, can you name the signal callers to toss at least 40 TDs in their first two campaigns?

Good luck!
