Broncos QB Bo Nix spins Jaguars loss into ‘reality check’ before playoffs

Bo Nix saw the silver lining in the Denver Broncos’ 34-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season.

Denver was rolling with an 11-game winning streak, soaring to the high seeds of the AFC. However, they suffered multiple lapses on both sides of the ball as Jacksonville took full advantage, pulling off the upset on the road.

Nix was active with his passing ability throughout the game. He completed 28 passes out of 47 attempts for 352 yards. However, he only had one touchdown and one interception, showing how Jacksonville limited his ability to make explosive plays in Denver’s favor.

Nix reflected on those woes during Tuesday’s press conference, per reporter Luca Evans. The second-year quarterback, while not content with the win streak coming to an end, had a clear message on how the loss will reset the Broncos’ mentality as they close in on the end of the regular season.

“Sometimes a loss, especially in this league, gives you a good reality check and puts you back on course,” Nix said.
