Bo Nix reaches 16 game-winning drives, setting NFL mark for first three seasons
The Denver quarterback leads the NFL with six game-winning drives this season after helping the Broncos rally past Carolina.
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has recorded 16 regular-season game-winning drives in his first three NFL seasons, a record for that stage of a quarterback’s career, after leading a comeback victory over the Carolina Panthers.
Denver entered the fourth quarter trailing Carolina. Nix then directed touchdowns on consecutive possessions, first covering 80 yards in 14 plays and then 61 yards in six plays. The victory left the Broncos at 7-2 and atop the AFC West.
Nix’s six game-winning drives this season are the league’s highest total. He recorded three during his rookie season in 2024, followed by seven last year, when he also led the NFL in the category.
The statistic credits an offensive possession that produces points in the fourth quarter or overtime and gives a team a lead it does not relinquish. The career record excludes postseason games; Nix also recorded a game-winning drive during last season’s playoffs.
