Bo Nix called ‘disinterested’ and ‘checked out’ by former Broncos QB who deleted his post

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix did not have a good game against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night.

Yes, the Broncos escaped with a victory, but Nix only threw for 107 yards and no touchdowns.

Denver had two first-downs and six punts in the second half, blowing a 14-3 lead in a game that eventually went to overtime. A great interception by Ja’Quan McMillian and clutch kick by Wil Lutz got the job done — an ugly 17-14 win.

Former NFL QB Ryan Fitzpatrick torched Bo Nix on the Prime Video postgame show, saying he is “almost disrespectful to the quarterback position” and Nix’s “effort is garbage.”

Fitzpatrick is well known, but he never was teammates with Nix. The same can’t be said for Ben DiNucci, who actually was signed to the Broncos practice squad last year after Nix broke his ankle.

DiNucci is now a member of the media and in that role he’ll need to criticize players he once shared a locker room with, however brief it was.

DiNucci posted on X on Friday morning that Bo Nix “looks disinterested, checked out, and like there are 500 places he would rather be than on a football field every week.”

Here's the tweet that Ben DiNucci deleted after it was up for more than three hours. Either you're in the media or you're not… but his words for Bo Nix were just as harsh as Ryan Fitzpatrick's if not worse. pic.twitter.com/LwDKohzCWF

DiNucci has since deleted that post after it lived for more than three hours and racked up over 80,000 views and 920 likes.

He sent another message, saying he “was speaking on things that I don’t know to be true,” and “I was doing a disservice to Bo and guys in that locker room who were my teammates.”

DiNucci needs to pick a lane, but that’s besides the point. It’s no longer just media members ripping Bo Nix — it’s guys who actually worked with him in the NFL.

The Broncos seem to have a major problem on their hands — an offense this pathetic has no shot of winning the Super Bowl. And the chatter about Bo Nix has reached a boiling point.

The only silver lining is Denver is 4-2 on the season after surviving a brutal six-game stretch to begin. Still, the vibes are not what anyone in Broncos Country would call “high” right now.
