Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on October 20 that the team will keep rookie quarterback Bo Nix as the starter, rejecting media calls for a change ahead of their next game. Nix had earlier dismissed criticism as a narrative and pointed to the Broncos’ positive start despite lower passing numbers (NBC Sports). He then faced scrutiny after a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, with analysts noting a decline in his effectiveness (Defector).

Former quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick later criticized Nix for a lack of competitiveness in a narrow 17-14 win over Seattle (NBC Sports, The Denver Post). Former Broncos wide receiver Ed McCaffrey defended Nix against Fitzpatrick’s remarks (Yahoo Sports), and former defensive back Aqib Talib called Fitzpatrick’s comments disrespectful (NBC Sports).
