This battle between Bo Nix and Spencer Rattler QBs was seen

The Bo Nix vs. Spencer Rattler quarterback duel that Prime Video subscribers have been clamoring for all season took place on Thursday Night Football between the Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints in Week 7. Both teams punted on their first drives, immediately living up to the nonexistent excitement surrounding the game.

Bo Nix gained two first downs with his legs on Denver’s first drive before throwing three straight failed passes to set up the punt. On one play, Nix misthrew an open receiver and underthrew another, making it a really poor pass.

This was the funniest pass of the season. And maybe the decade. pic.twitter.com/w44z5UTmNk

Both wide receiver Troy Franklin and tight end Lucas Krull had sneaked by the defenders and found openings. Nix placed it right between them, failing to position his feet even with a clear pocket and two open teammates.

Amazingly, halfway through the second quarter, the Broncos would score on their next three possessions, gaining a 13-0 lead.
