Before Bo Nix took a victory lap around Empower Field to celebrate the Broncos’ first playoff berth in nine years, the rookie quarterback first had to earn his teammates’ trust. That was earned on a Friday morning in August during a joint practice with the Packers. And Nix only needed four plays during a two-minute drill to do it. The first-round pick quickly led Denver down the field, put his team in scoring position, and created more separation between him and Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson in the team’s starting quarterback competition. “We got within five yards of scoring, and (Green Bay) said, ‘Let’s start it over,’” wide receiver Courtland Sutton recalled after the Broncos beat Kansas City, 38-0, on Sunday to clinch a playoff spot. “Seeing a young guy like Bo — this was probably three weeks into training camp — to go out there and orchestrate a two-minute drill against a defense of that caliber was definitely encouraging.” Green Bay arrived in Denver as one of the best teams in the NFC, led by star quarterback Jordan Love.
