Bo Nix, the Denver Broncos quarterback, has racked up yet another accolade in his debut NFL season. As reported by Sports Illustrated, Nix secured the NFL's Rookie of the Week for the third time in as many weeks, a first in Denver's storied franchise. He's now only one award shy of tying with former Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno who clinched the title four times in his rookie year.

The young QB's streak has been something of a revelation, with Nix's latest efforts leading the Broncos to a solid victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. He's proving to more than just fill up the stats, as detailed by 9NEWS, logging impressive numbers with 273 passing yards and two touchdowns, helping to decidedly keep Denver in the playoff conversation. And let's not quickly forget the heartbreaker against the Chiefs, which, far from rattling him, seemed only to sharpen his play.

From his capacity to nail down tight victories, as seen against the Raiders, to the sheer numbers he's putting up, Nix is fast becoming a standout in a crop of talented rookies. According to KDVR, with this latest award, Nix has surpassed Tim Tebow's consecutive wins and is hot on the heels of Moreno's record, a testament to his burgeoning role as a key player under center for the Broncos.
