Nix Breaks NFL Record with Another Stunning Comeback Against Chiefs

The Denver Broncos have developed a remarkable knack for winning close games with Bo Nix at quarterback.

Now their third-year starter has an NFL record to show for it.

Nix recorded his 15th career game-winning drive in Sunday's dramatic 28-24 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, the most by any quarterback through his first three NFL seasons since the 1970 merger.

The milestone moved Nix past Dak Prescott, who had 14 game-winning drives over his first three seasons. Justin Herbert and Matt Ryan are tied for third with 13 apiece.

According to the Broncos' official website, Nix also posted a perfect 158.3 passer rating in the fourth quarter against Kansas City.

It was another improbable finish for a quarterback whose ability to deliver late has become one of Denver's defining characteristics.

The Broncos trailed 24-13 entering the fourth quarter after their offense struggled through a scoreless third period.

Nix responded by throwing a 2-yard touchdown pass to Nate Adkins before connecting with Jaylen Waddle for a two-point conversion, cutting Kansas City's advantage to three points.

After Harrison Butker missed a 54-yard field goal, Nix needed only two plays to put Denver ahead.

He connected with rookie running back Jonah Coleman for a 51-yard gain, setting up Coleman's 5-yard touchdown run with 1:56 remaining.

Denver's defense then preserved the victory with a dramatic goal-line stand, as Malcolm Roach sacked Patrick Mahomes on the final play.

The comeback gave Denver its fourth consecutive victory and improved its record to 6-2, moving the Broncos ahead of Kansas City in the AFC West standings.

Nix finished 20-of-32 passing for 222 yards and two touchdowns without an interception.

His latest achievement adds to an already impressive collection of comeback statistics.

In September, Nix surpassed Russell Wilson in another historical comeback category after rallying Denver past the Los Angeles Rams.

The Broncos have also repeatedly overcome offensive inconsistency, a problem highlighted in a recent assessment of their offensive-line struggles.

Sunday's performance offered another reminder of that unevenness, but also demonstrated why Denver remains so difficult to finish off.

As the Broncos' latest comeback against Kansas City illustrated, Nix and his teammates have made late-game resilience a defining feature of their success.

And with nine regular-season games remaining in his third NFL season, Nix has time to extend his record even further.
