Broncos’ Bo Nix explains fear of dogs to Kirk Herbstreit after first interaction went viral

We continue to learn things about Bo Nix that surprise us.

Last year, we found out he does not curse. On Christmas Day, he revealed his fear of dogs to Kirk Herbstreit after an awkward meeting with the broadcaster’s famous golden retriever Peter went viral last month.

Herbstreit reunited the pair, with Nix petting the pup during warmups before the Broncos beat the Kansas City Chiefs, 20-13.

“My wife (Izzy) will be shocked,” Nix said.

Herbstreit travels the country with Peter, who took over the role of unofficial ambassador after his brother Ben passed away last November following a battle with leukemia and lymphoma.
