Bo Nix’s third touchdown pass puts the Broncos up 28-6 in the third quarter

It looked like the Falcons had forced a turnover on downs on the Broncos’ first possession of the third quarter, but a standing review brought bad news for the road team.

Officials ruled that Broncos wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey caught a pass, fumbled and recovered the ball for a first down to overturn an initial ruling of an incomplete pass. That allowed the Broncos’ drive to continue, and quarterback Bo Nix capped it off with his third touchdown pass of the day.

Nix hit wide receiver Troy Franklin for a seven-yard score and the Broncos led 28-6 with 9:05 left in the third quarter.

It’s Nix’s fourth straight home game with over 200 passing yards and two plus touchdown passes. It’s a good sign of how things are coming together on offense in Denver and a good sign of what the rookie quarterback can do during his career.
