We never lost the faith on the sideline,” Broncos QB Bo Nix said of the team’s comeback win against the Raiders.

The veteran wide receiver has played a huge role in Nix’s development. During the past five games he has caught 36 passes for 467 yards and three touchdowns, including two in Sunday’s win. The Broncos began the day 1-of-6 on third down. They converted five of their next seven attempts, and Sutton was the target on four of those plays.

Nix finished 25 of 42, and his 18-yard touchdown pass to Sutton in the third quarter broke the club rookie record of 14 set by Marlin Briscoe in 1968. Nix and Sutton later hooked up for a 2-yard TD with 5:30 left to give the Broncos a two-possession lead.
