The Denver Broncos may have found their long-term answer at quarterback in rookie Bo Nix. He has not only shown consistent improvement all season and been a big part of the Broncos' push to the playoffs, but he also has an absolute rocket for an arm.

He showed that off on Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals with a game-tying touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to Marvin Mims Jr.

Technically, that goes into the books as a 51-yard touchdown based on the line of scrimmage.

But when you consider where Nix threw the football from, and where Mims caught in the end zone, that football traveled 67 yards in the air, making it the longest completion in the NFL this season by air yards traveled.

The arm strength to get it that far down field is impressive enough. He also put it right on the money exactly where it needed to be over the coverage.
