NFL News: Broncos’ Bo Nix Makes Incredible TD Pass vs Commanders

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix wowed NFL fans Sunday night when he completed a touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton while falling to the ground.

Nix was pressured by the Washington Commanders’ defense on 2nd and 10 from the 11-yard line. He stepped up in the pocket as if to climb, but at the last second he found Sutton streaking across the end zone.

Sutton caught the pass and the Broncos were able to take a 13-7 lead into halftime.

“One of the things he does so well is extend plays, and that was a perfect example,” Broncos head coach Sean Payton told NBC’s Melissa Stark at halftime. “From the angle he threw it … Look, I think it’s going to be important that we have some balance in the second half to get this running game going.”

It wasn’t exactly an offensive explosion from Denver in the first half. Nix was 15-of-24 with 146 passing yards and the touchdown for Sutton. The team had just 39 yards on the ground, with Nix accounting for five of them.
