Bo Nix continued his strong rookie season, leading the Denver Broncos to a 29-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
The first-year quarterback thrived against a Raiders secondary that allowed 202.7 passing yards per game entering the matchup.
Nix finished 25-of-42 for 273 yards and two touchdowns without turning the ball over. His second score helped give Denver a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter that the team wouldn’t relinquish for the rest of the game.

The 24-year-old has now surpassed 270 yards through the air in three of the past five weeks after failing to reach that mark during the first seven games of his career. He also wasn’t afraid to lean into the AFC West rivalry.

Troy Renck @TroyRenck#Broncos Bo Nix has 20 TDs and two turnovers over his last 10 games. But go ahead and insist he’s a low-ceiling, system QB. Make it make sense. He’s the best thing to happen to Broncos since Peyton Manning retired. It is OK to say he’s doing well. It really is.

Gardner Minshew started under center for the Raiders, but he was replaced by Desmond Ridder in the fourth quarter after suffering a shoulder injury. Minshew recorded 230 yards through the air to go along with a touchdown as well as an interception, completing 59.5 percent of his throws.
