Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix noticed the fans on Sunday afternoon in Arizona against the Cardinals.

It was hard not to.

Seemingly every time Denver made a big play the CBS cameras panned to the crowd and captured Broncos Country out in full force. A first quarter stop on defense was the perfect example.

After Bo Nix played his best game of the season, running for a 62-yard TD and passing for a 52-yard score, he was asked about what it was like playing in front of essentially a home crowd.

“It was great. It felt really comfortable. It was really nice to see our fans show up to an away game like this. A non-conference game,” Nix said.

The Broncos are now 5-2 after Nix passed for 222 yards and didn’t turn the football over in a 30-16 victory. His long touchdown scamper made team history and the fans were locked in until the final buzzer.

“Just for a normal game in Phoenix it was really cool to see them show up. And a lot of orange in the stands. I’m not, never been a huge fan of red being an Auburn guy with Alabama and Georgia, so it was nice to see a lot of orange in the stadium,” Bo Nix said.

That orange in the stands helped move the Broncos to 5-2 on the season, with Denver head coach Sean Payton making it clear postgame he and the organization never lost faith in Bo Nix.

Next up is a date with the Chiefs a week from today — a game that will have huge implications on who ultimately wins the AFC West.

You can bet Broncos Country will be rocking, just like they were in Arizona and do every single time the team plays in the Mile High City.

It’s cool that it doesn’t go unnoticed — especially by the team’s franchise QB.
