Speaking to the media, Nix said he is “excited about the challenge” he is taking on Baltimore in a game featuring a pair of 5-3 teams looking to fight for position in the AFC playoff race.
“We have to match it,” Nix said, according to the Broncos team website. “We know what it’s going to be. We have to match the intensity, the passion and the physicality they’re going to play with. I’m excited about the challenge because these are the type of games you’re going to play.” on and you play and they are extremely difficult and they are difficult (in) the moment. When you get out, you grow a lot as a player. You learn a lot about yourself (and) about your team. .. Ultimately, it is also special for an organization to go out and win a competition like this. It won’t be easy, but we’ll be ready.”
The Broncos have been somewhat of a surprise this season. Led by an elite defense, Denver has won five of its last six games after starting the year 0-2. All three of the Broncos’ losses were by seven points or less.
Nix, the No. 12 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, hasn’t had to do too much as a rookie starter so far this season. Through his first eight games as a pro, he has passed 165 of 261 for 1,530 yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions. He has added 52 carries for 259 yards and four more scores.
Nix will get his first real chance to take down an elite team this season when the Ravens and Broncos kick off from Baltimore at 1:00 PM ET.
