Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix is unstoppable.

On Sunday night, Nix led his team to a 38-6 win over the Atlanta Falcons which left Denver “with a one-game lead over the Indianapolis Colts in the race for the third and final wild-card spot in the AFC playoffs with six games remaining,” Sports Spectrum reported.

The quarterback completed 28 of 33 passes, threw for 307 yards and had four passing touchdowns.

When the game was over, “Nix had become the first rookie quarterback in NFL history with four touchdown passes, no interceptions, more than 300 passing yards, and a completion percentage higher than 80% in a single game.”

In classic Bo Nix fashion, when asked about his performances, he focused on the blessing it is to play football at the highest level.

“When I woke up this morning I thought, ‘Each day you get to go out there on the field and play for a team, for a franchise, who believes in you and an organization that does so much for you,’” he said. “Sometimes you just wake up ready to roll, and it’s a blessing to be in my spot — be in my shoes.”

Nis knows that if it weren’t for God’s goodness and faithfulness, he wouldn’t be in the NFL at all.

“My faith is really important to me. I’ve always been a faith-based person. I believe that God has a plan for me and my life,” Nix said at his first press conference with the Broncos in April. “I truly believe that He has set this path in front of me, and He put me here in Denver for a reason. That’s why honestly, through the process, I wasn’t nervous or anxious about it one bit. I knew that I was going to go to the right spot, and the right spot is here.”

“… You just have to trust and believe that His plans are higher than your ways. So that’s what I truly believe,” he added. “I’m a perfect example of that. If you haven’t seen it already, you can look at my story and know that He has an individual plan for each one of our lives. He sets it out in front of us, and all we have to do is follow.”
