Bo Nix was brutally honest about his overall performance in the Denver Broncos' 23-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday afternoon.

Nix is going through the third season of his NFL career with the Broncos. He enjoyed an incredible high after leading Denver to the AFC Championship game before going down with injury. He looks to pick up where he left as he leads the Broncos to another year of serious playoff contention.

Following a shaky 1-2 start, the Broncos have since won two of their last three games. Their win over Los Angeles was the third of the year, getting themselves back on track with each week.

Nix reflected on his performance after the game, per reporter Zac Stevens. Comparing this week's display to other games, the star quarterback definitely wasn't happy with how things turned out for him as a passer.

“Eh, I don’t think it was the best,” Nix said.

Los Angeles had the momentum for most of the day as it yearned for its first victory of the year, leading 17-10 going into the fourth quarter. This didn't stop Denver from making the rally, scoring the last 13 points of the game throughout the last 15 minutes of regulation.

JK Dobbins led the run game with 18 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown while catching two passes for six yards. Evan Engram led receivers with four catches for 55 yards, while Courtland Sutton caught two passes for 18 yards and a touchdown.
