The Denver Broncos are not benching starting quarterback Bo Nix.
During his conference call with reporters on Monday, Broncos coach Sean Payton was asked if there's been any consideration given to making a change at quarterback.
"To answer your question, no. … Bo is going to be a byproduct of all the other things that get improved [on offense]," Payton said, via the Denver Post's Parker Gabriel.
Denver has started the season with a 4-2 record, but the team's scoring (19 points per game) ranks seventh-worst in the NFL. Nix's 60.3% completion rate ranks 26th among qualified quarterbacks and his 5.6 yards per pass attempt average ranks 32nd (last).
“We’ll be able to get the ball down the field. … That starts with me and us giving (Nix) those opportunities,"
Payton said.
Up next for Nix and the Broncos is an Arizona Cardinals defense that has allowed a league-worst 8.6 yards per pass attempt this season. So, better days might be ahead of Nix and Denver's offense.
