description

Ask any biologist, and they’ll quickly confirm that ducks do indeed have bills; on Jan. 12, 2025, though, as Denver’s Bo Nix turned to a former Oregon connection to outsmart Buffalo’s defense, the statement had an entirely different meaning. Anything but rookie-like throughout his career’s opening chapter, Bo Nix — in a powerful, game-opening statement — calmly awaited downfield openings before delivering a 44-yard strike over the Bills’ defense and perfectly into the hands of his former collegiate teammate. Tallied for NFL history’s second-most passing touchdowns (29) by a first-year talent, Nix’s score allowed the Broncos to temporarily present themselves as a threat, though they ultimately fell 31-7. Versatile throughout, Nix finished 13-of-22 for 144 yards and a score, paired with four carries for 43 yards.
