Bo Nix has more in common with Reggie Jackson than Lamar.
Maybe the explanation for his slow starts is that simple. Nix is the Broncos’ Mr. October. His play changes with the leaves and pumpkin spice lattes.
It was this time a year ago that Nix looked like a baby giraffe on roller skates. And it only got worse in Week 4 when he couldn’t grip the football in the rain against the Jets.
And here we are in September again, and Nix isn’t exactly inspiring confidence. It was one week.
