Bo Nix criticized for struggles as Broncos call plays under Sean Payton

Bo Nix is facing significant criticism from fans for his performance as the Denver Broncos' quarterback. After a disappointing start to the 2026 season, head coach Sean Payton took over play-calling duties, but the team's offensive struggles continued with Nix throwing for only 123 yards in a recent outing. Fans, including commentators and analysts, are pointing to Nix as the primary issue, suggesting that despite a strong supporting cast, he has not improved and is impacting the team's performance negatively. As frustration mounts, the Broncos aim to resolve these issues moving forward.
