Sunday was a tough day at the office for rookie quarterback Bo Nix.
Nix and the Denver Broncos lost 13-6 to the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, their second straight one-score loss to open the season. While Denver had chances to pull out the victory in the second half, Nix threw a pair of interceptions that doomed the Broncos’ chances.
While the second came on the final play of the game, with the Broncos in their own territory, Nix’s first interception on Sunday came midway through the third quarter, with Denver facing a 2nd-and-goal situation at Pittsburgh’s 6-yard line. Trailing 10-0, this was a perfect opportunity for Denver to get right back in the game with a touchdown.
Instead, Next threw an interception.
During his post-game press conference, Nix was asked what happened on the play. The rookie’s answer was straight and to the point, in a hilarious way.
He threw it to the other team. It was that easy!
Watch the clip of Nix’s interception here:
Nix tries to connect with Courtland Sutton in the back of the end zone, but his pass instead finds Steelers rookie defensive back Cory Trice Jr. Instead of Denver finding the end zone, or at least putting a field goal on the board, the Steelers took over.
Pittsburgh would extend their lead on the ensuing possession with a field goal.
Bo Nix, thank you for your honesty, good sir.
