On Nix’s longest run of the season, it originated from a direct snap and he sprinted around the end — the type of play you see under Friday night lights across the country. Nix is on pace to rush for 615 yards this season, leaving him within reach of Tim Tebow’s franchise record of 660 set in 2011.

Bo Nix and Broncos coach Sean Payton explained what led to their heated exchange on the sideline during the Raiders game.

As you should be. Don’t look now, but the Broncos are gonna be sneakily 4-3 after tonight’s win over the Saints. I for one did not expect that coming into the year this season. In a weaker than expected AFC, 9 wins might get Denver into the playoffs as the 7 seed this year.
