Ryan Fitzpatrick on Bo Nix's night: "That right there is garbage"

The Denver Broncos secured a narrow overtime victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, but their offensive struggles remained a glaring issue. Quarterback Bo Nix completed just 17 of 27 passes for 107 yards, no touchdowns, and a dismal 71.1 passer rating, while the Broncos managed only 168 total yards—a stark contrast to Seattle’s 353.

Postgame, veteran analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick criticized Nix’s effort and competitiveness, calling his performance ‘garbage’ and suggesting a lack of trust from coaching staff, including head coach Sean Payton and offensive coordinator Davis Webb. Nix’s decision to call a screen play on third-and-eight further underscored the Broncos’ offensive stagnation, leaving questions about his readiness for a second contract after the season.

With Nix in his third NFL season, Denver faces a critical decision: whether to invest in his development or explore alternative options to build a championship-caliber offense.
