Bo Nix Leads Broncos to Comeback Victory Over Chiefs

DENVER, CO — Quarterback Bo Nix showcased his skills in a dramatic final drive that helped the Denver Broncos defeat the Kansas City Chiefs 22-19 on November 16, 2025. With the game tied late in the fourth quarter, Nix orchestrated a series of plays that energized the Broncos and secured the win.

On a critical third-and-15 from the Denver 20-yard line, Nix demonstrated his awareness and poise under pressure. He escaped the pocket, sprinting to the sideline before delivering a crucial 20-yard completion to wide receiver Courtland Sutton. This play kept the Broncos’ hopes alive and ignited their game-winning drive.

Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones noted Nix’s intelligence on the field. “They called it out,” Jones said after the game. “He switched the line. You can see it on film. Bo knew our defense.” Nix’s ability to read defenses has been a focal point for Broncos coach Sean Payton, who saw this intellectual prowess as a key reason to name Nix his starting quarterback.

Nix continued to shine during the drive, later connecting with rookie wide receiver Troy Franklin for a 32-yard gain, bringing the team into the red zone. A few plays later, kicker Will Lutz made a decisive 35-yard field goal to secure the victory.

After the game, Nix reflected on his performance. “We actually called the same play several times,” he said. “Our guys were getting open, and it worked.” The Broncos improved their record to 9-2, entering their bye week with momentum.

This victory also marked a significant achievement for Nix, as he has now led the Broncos to five game-winning drives this season, tying him with Chicago’s Caleb Williams for the most in the league. “If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best,” Nix said, encapsulating the importance of this win against a team that has dominated the AFC West for years.

The Broncos now have six games remaining in the season and aim to build on this success when they return from the bye week.
