Rookie quarterback Bo Nix of the Denver Broncos has been named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week following a remarkable performance against the Atlanta Falcons, where he threw for 300 yards and four touchdowns. This achievement marks a historic milestone as he becomes the first rookie to accomplish such a feat in an NFL game.

Despite his accolades, some critics, including CBS Sports' Chris Trapasso, have downplayed Nix's performance, suggesting that much of his success came from the Broncos' game plan rather than his individual skill. Nevertheless, Nix's statistics show he is a strong contender for Offensive Rookie of the Year, currently sitting in second place in betting odds.
