It's safe to say that Sean Payton has found his quarterback in Denver.
Second-year signal caller Bo Nix put on a performance for the ages on Sunday, Oct. 19, igniting the Broncos' 33-32 comeback win over the New York Giants with four fourth-quarter scores. Nix scored two rushing touchdowns and passed for another two, as the Broncos, down 19-0 after the third quarter, stormed back for what could be a season-defining win.
USA TODAY Sports' win probability model tabbed the Giants (2-5) with a 99.7% chance to win with 7:12 left in the game. But Nix and the Broncos piled on, as the Broncos QB became the first player in NFL history to score two rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns in a quarter.
