In the regular-season finale of his rookie year, Nix became the first quarterback since Peyton Manning to earn a playoff berth with the Broncos, as Denver clinched its bid with a dominant 38-0 win against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Nix had more touchdown passes than he had incompletions, completing 26 of 29 attempts (89.7%) for 321 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions and a 152.4 rating. He added 47 rushing yards, though his victory lap high-fiving fans didn’t count in his total.
