It wasn't long ago when Bo Nix was booed by Denver faithful. After a 4-TD performance, the passer is growing up, and proving he belongs.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix lasers a 23-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Troy Franklin. Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers connects on his fourth field goal of the game, cutting the Indianapolis Colts' lead to 13-12 in the fourth quarter.

In a production meeting earlier this season with NFL Network analyst and Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner, Payton used a cross-sport analogy to further describe the difference between the two passers.

Up next for Nix and the Broncos is another playoff team in Week 16, against two of the players up for the award from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Denver could clinch the AFC West as early as next week. Fans can vote for Nix at NFL.com/FedEx.

Bo Nix’s wife, Izzy, shared a hilarious message about her husband’s vocabulary on social media. On Sunday, the Denver Broncos played against the Green Bay Packers and won their 12th game of the season, securing their playoff spot. Nix had a phenomenal time and recorded 302 yards in passing.
