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 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.

The veteran wide receiver has played a huge role in Nix’s development. During the past five games he has caught 36 passes for 467 yards and three touchdowns, including two in Sunday’s win. The Broncos began the day 1-of-6 on third down. They converted five of their next seven attempts, and Sutton was the target on four of those plays.
