Broncos quarterback Bo Nix finished his regular season with one more accolade.
The rookie was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance Week 18 in Denver’s playoff-clinching, 38-0 blowout of a largely starter-less Kansas City team Sunday.
Nix threw for a career-high 321 yards and four touchdowns while completing 26 of 29 pass attempts overall. His 152.4 passer rating for the game is also the best of his career and it capped a stretch in which Nix threw nine touchdowns and just one interception over Denver’s final three regular-season games.
It’s the second time this season that Nix has won the weekly AFC award. Nix also got the honor in Week 11 after throwing for 304 yards and four touchdowns against Atlanta.
Nix is the first Bronco to win the award multiple times in a season since Peyton Manning in 2013 and just the fifth player in franchise history to do so. The only other rookie to win the award multiple times was running back Mike Anderson.
