Broncos head coach Sean Payton says the team is not considering a quarterback change, despite criticism of Bo Nix after a rough stretch on offense. Payton’s comments come as Nix’s production has been questioned, with one report noting he has six touchdowns in six games this season.
In separate coverage, outlets report that Payton directly addressed the idea of benching Nix and rejected surrounding talk. One outlet says he emphasized the broader situation rather than focusing solely on the quarterback, and another reports he responded to sharp public remarks about Nix—describing a critic’s assessment as “garbage.” The reports agree that, following the Broncos’ recent win over the Seahawks that included overtime, Payton has not changed his stance toward Nix as the starter.
