Among Broncos quarterbacks, only John Elway and Peyton Manning have accounted for more fourth-quarter/overtime comebacks than Nix has in orange and blue.

Quarterback Bo Nix meets the media to talk about the Broncos' fourth-quarter performance, Denver's stout defensive play and his rushing success on the game-winning drive.
