It isn't often you see a quarterback in today's NFL go without a single passing yard in a quarter, but that's where we are with Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix.
Nix went 0-for-5 in the first quarter and, as you'd expect, the Broncos were blanked on the scoreboard. Safe to say, it was bizarre to see Nix struggle as badly as he did.
Here's a closer look and an explanation as to why the Nix and the Broncos' offense started off so poorly.
Is Bo Nix playing today?
Yes, Nix is active and in the lineup, it has just been a rough afternoon for the Broncos.
It is fair to point out that the Texans have one of the better defenses in the NFL and a slew of talented pass-rushers and defensive backs, so that's not helping things.
Shortly after completing his first pass of the game in the second quarter, Nix threw a pick on the very next play. That's just a microcosm of how ugly things have been for Denver on Sunday.
