Denver rookie quarterback Bo Nix did a lot of good against Baltimore. This type of game requires even more than that. He overshot Troy Franklin for a touchdown on fourth down in the first half and Lil’Jordan Humphrey in the back of the end zone before halftime — though the Broncos scored after that.

After winning five of six to establish itself as a potential playoff contender, Denver (5-4) couldn't compete with a team that reached the AFC title game last season and features two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, who carved up a Broncos defense that was ranked among the league's best.

DENVER WALKED INTO BALTIMORE LOOKIN' TO PROVE THEY'RE THE REAL DEAL IN THE A-F-C—BUT THAT JUST WASNT THE CASE IT WAS A ROUGH ONE, FOLKS. RAVENS STEAM ROLLED THEM 41-10.

The rookie quarterback caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from wide receiver Courtland Sutton in the second quarter. The Broncos ran the now famous “Philly Special” play, with Nix doing an impressive job of shielding and outjumping Ravens safety Marcus Williams to grab the football for the score.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix had a brutal game on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens but it was likely a day that he'll never forget as it was the first time he was able to face Lamar Jackson and see his greatness in person.
