Bo Nix downplays Broncos fans' boos after sluggish Week 10 performance image

The Broncos welcomed the Las Vegas Raiders to Denver for a Thursday Night Football matchup in Week 10 of the NFL season. Sean Payton and the Broncos didn't make any splashes at the trade deadline but were looking to get to 8-2 on the year.

By the time the game ended, the Broncos had won, improving to 8-2 and maintaining a firm lead in the AFC West. But the game ended in a narrow 10-7 victory, and it wasn't the best outing from the offense.

In fact, it was so bad that the home crowd booed Bo Nix for his sluggish performance against the Raiders.

After the game, Underdog NFL shared Nix's comments on getting booed, as the second-year quarterback isn't letting it affect him going forward.

Bo Nix doesn't let Broncos fans' boos affect him

Nix's performance in Week 10 was a huge reason why Denver couldn't put the game to rest.

His passer rating was 54.2. He missed a lot of throws throughout the game, and while his two interceptions weren't fully his fault, his passing performance was subpar.

Nix completed 16 of 28 passes for 150 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He only took one sack for a nine-yard loss, but he didn't contribute as a runner, and he led the offense to four-straight three-and-outs to open the game.

If it weren't for a 43-yard completion to rookie Pat Bryant on a busted play, the Broncos might've had a much rougher game than they did.

"I've been booed before," Nix said postgame. "I'll be booed again."

The Broncos offense got just five of the team's 15 third-down tries, and while it wasn't Nix's fault, Courtland Sutton took a sack later in the game on a trick play.

Fortunately for the Broncos, their defense was elite, and they were able to overcome the struggles of the offense to secure a key win.

Nix was booed for his poor performance, and he's not letting it get to him. As he said, he's been booed before, and he'll likely be booed again, but he's moving forward. His team got the Week 10 win and has a commanding lead in the AFC West.
