Ryan Fitzpatrick critiques Bo Nix's performance after Broncos win

The Denver Broncos secured a 17-14 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football, aided by a defense that intercepted Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold. Despite the win, Ryan Fitzpatrick criticized Broncos quarterback Bo Nix for his performance. Nix completed 17 of 27 passes for 107 yards, marking the second-fewest passing yards of his career. Fitzpatrick expressed his disappointment during the Prime Video postgame show, stating, "Bo Nix is not playing competitively. It's almost disrespectful to the quarterback position how he's playing football." He elaborated that Nix's decision-making was lacking, citing instances where Nix opted for short passes and failed to take advantage of opportunities in overtime. Fitzpatrick noted, "He’s not competing right now, and that’s something that he’s hung his hat on the last two years." Nix's struggles come after a previous game where he threw for only 123 yards against the Chargers. His 2025 season was cut short due to an ankle injury, which he sustained in the AFC divisional round. Following a change in play-calling duties, the Broncos have achieved two wins, but Fitzpatrick emphasized that the quarterback's performance remains subpar.
