Bo Nix’s third touchdown pass puts the Broncos up 28-6 in the third quarter
It appeared the Falcons had forced a turnover on the Broncos’ first possession of the third quarter, but a score review brought bad news for the road team.
Officials ruled that Broncos wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey caught a pass, fumbled it and recovered the ball for a first down to overturn an initial ruling of an incomplete pass. This allowed the Broncos’ drive to continue and quarterback Bo Nix capped it off with his third touchdown pass of the day.
Nix hit wide receiver Troy Franklin for a seven-yard score and the Broncos led 28-6 with 9:05 left in the third quarter.
It’s Nix’s fourth straight home game with more than 200 passing yards and more than two passing touchdowns. That’s a good sign for how things are coming together on Denver’s offense and a good sign for what the rookie quarterback can do over the course of his career.
