Dolphins LB Chop Robinson (4 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 2 PDs) This is Nix’s fifth nomination for Rookie of the Week this season. After struggling to start the season, Nix has improved week after week, being a vocal leader of the Broncos as the year has progressed. Fans can vote for Nix through Thursday morning on NFL.com.

The rookie QB has been one of the NFL's best passers against the blitz the past month, evidence of his growth in identifying defenses.

The Denver Broncos season keeps chugging along, and rookie quarterback Bo Nix keeps playing better and better. He didn't have gaudy stats versus the Las Vegas Raiders, per se, completing 25-of-42 passing attempts (59.5%) for 273 yards and two touchdowns, with zero interceptions.
